A stereotypical example of effete Hollywood writers, producers, and cast trying too hard to make an avant-garde and artistic masterpiece only to become a flaming pile of canine excrement. Now, at this point we should expect a defense from an insufferable boor who will claim that the rest of us who found the movie to be a colossal waste of time are just not sophisticated enough to appreciate the real message. Nope, we got it. It just ain't that good, pal.
