..as actor, writer, and director -- a triple threat. His exhibitionism and egotism are only exceeded by his lack of charisma and talent. The picture's rhythms are off, the dialogue pretentious and ridiculous, and his voice a horror to listen to. I suppose we're meant to be sympathetic to, or at least care about, his dull, feckless protagonist, but I found it impossible to do so.
It's truly an excruciating experience to sit through this amateurish tripe, although if you're in the middle of a rowdy crowd that hates the movie and doesn't mind saying so (as I was at NY's Two Boots Pioneer last night at 9pm), it can be a bonding, Rocky-Horror-like interactive experience. Last previous one for me was at "Gigli."
