Wristcutters: A Love Story

Turgid piece of shit. Worst ending, annoying characters, and a promising beginning that only lets you down. Anyone else suffer through this? Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous) plays a young guy who offed himself after his girlfriend cheated on him, and he finds himself in purgatory - when he finds out his girlfriend killed herself as well, he goes looking for her throughout purgatory. It's a chore to reiterate the plot of this movie, I just wanted to complain about it, set up a support group of those who've endured this sloppy mess. That ending made me want to kill myself, and when Shannon Sossamon tries to do a 'cute smile' to our hero, she only looks as if her character has developed a large overbite. I'm going to shut up now...just stay away from this one, please, it's crap.

I remember enjoying it quite a bit. It didn't stick with me, but I'm a sucker for imaginative afterlife scenarios. Not without its flaws, but it didn't sink it, in my opinion.

Also, as a new DVD reviewer, have to give traffic to the CHUD review/thread.

I liked it very much, having expected absolutely nothing.

Meh, it's certainly emo, I can easily see how someone could really hate it, especially if they'd been told it was great.

Didn't love it as much as the friends who recommended it to me did but it was a good enough film.

Put me in the camp that liked this. It's not great, it takes the easy out, but it's pretty enjoyable nonetheless. Also Tom Waits.
