I truly can't remember being so bored by a movie. It was especially disapointing because of so much talented people's work was put into this. The sets are truly beautiful, actors magnificent, the subject and idea of the story important, its potential endless. Yet so incredibly boring. The first half was not terrible, the second was unbearable. It looked like writers went on strike in the middle of the script. So many good ideas so utterly horribly executed. I think the blame lies with directing and script. I remember imagining several scenes done slightly different for them to be truly funny and so good.
