Wow I had high hopes for this film. They certainly came crashing down quickly. Much like the poorly advertised movie Dead Poets Society, this film seemed to be funnier in the previews. Unlike Dead Poets Society, Lost In Translation did now wow me with an intelligent well acted film. Bill Murray just sat there doing nothing for most of the film. There was no meaty dialog or interesting situations presented to fill the gaps left by the lack of acting. Sleepless In Tokyo no more. Just put this film in your DVD player and you will be out in no time. Stick to comedy Bill. You are no Dan Aykroyd. At least he can act like he is alive in a movie.
