I read the IMDb comment guidelines prior to writing and posting this comment and especially the section which says:- "Avoid unannounced spoilers! Please don't reveal crucial plot elements. If you include a spoiler without warning readers in advance your name will be added to a blacklist and, subsequently, all your comments will be discarded automatically. To label a spoiler make sure you check the 'contains spoilers' check box."

They need to update it so that there is a spoiler alert that says:-

"IT'S SHITE !!!!"

Was I watching a different film to everybody else?

After sitting through the first 20 minutes it was making me suicidal so I gave up any hope of being entertained and decided to turn it of and go and do something that was more exciting and interesting - I watched some paint dry.

I always check the IMDb rating before I watch any film and was suckered into this one by its 7.9 score. How it managed to achieve this I will never know. How can watching Bill Murray (the only reason I watched in the first place) sitting in a hotel room on his own be entertaining or thought provoking?

It is listed as a comedy, drama, romance. When was all that due to happen?

I can only assume I need to be Italian\American to appreciate it. It's another pretentious "Arty" film that isn't.

Very similar and just as bad as "About Schmidt " with Jack Nicholson, I had the misfortune to sit all the way through that thinking it would get better but it didn't and I wasn't about to make the same mistake again.
