Movie Review by Tim

April 12th, 2007

Nerdy guys get laid, many... many.. times!

Man this was a disappointment for me. I have longed for Pesci and DeNiro to be in the same film again. Also I was very excited that DeNiro was directing this film. All of my excitement was let down after the credits popped up.

First let me talk about what I didn't like. Joe Pesci looks 90 years old and you see him for all of 2 minutes. I waited at the edge of my seat for his voice and by the time you convince yourself that this wretched old man you are seeing is him then he vanishes off of the screen for good.

DeNiro is not in the film much either and I really don't like his character which made me not like the film that much more. Matt Damon plays a nerdy stiff who scores more then Hugh Hefner????? Yeah I'm still trying to figure that one out myself.

There is hardly NO action, I realize its suppose to be a drama but really there is nothing that dramatic in the film. Really I still have not figured out the exact plot of the movie other then showing what the CIA is about but if that's it then they did a horrible job making it entertaining.

What I did like about it was the fact that they made a handicapped woman HOTT, and Angelina Jolie was awesome in this film. She also looked great even as an old lady.

The film is rather long too, you start to wonder when its going to end but it tricks you because at the 2 hour mark you know in your mind that its time for it to be over but you know it cant be over yet because the movie has made no sense yet.

Stay away from more then a rental or a bargain bin buy, I would probably watch Date Movie again over this one.
