An inane storyline, bad exposition-through-narration, annoying characters. Sophomoric in every sense of the word. And yet the spectacle kept me mostly entertained.
Somewhat interesting premise; bland, uneven execution.
While the first half is filled with some good laughs, the second half goes off the rails--and not in a funny way.
There's a strange charm to some of the early scenes but the campy horror is neither very funny nor horrifying.
Run-of-the-mill postmodern comedy. Go rent Adaptation again instead.
Michel Gondry's undeniable talent seems better suited to his music videos than his feature films. Dreams have often fascinated me, in life and in films, but The Science of Sleep seems to lack any dream-like qualities at all. It only delivers more of that same eye candy we've come to expect from the director, at the expense of story, characterization and atmosphere.
Filled with contrivances, cliches, and one-dimensional characters.
See one scene of this movie and you've seen them all. One-note performances from all involved. Then again I'm not one for this kind of music.
Run-of-the-mill cop drama.
Somewhat fun, but very dumb. The CGI ants and monkeys don't help.
Almost a parody of a Coen brothers movie, and an unfunny one at that.
Fuck this clown.
I didn't think a dance marathon could be the stuff of melodrama. And maybe a dance marathon shouldn't be.
Confidently crafted opening gives way to increasingly contrived situations.
Worth seeing for Hoffman's performance, but the writing is amateurish at best.
Though the first part of the movie is promising, it's ultimately a contrived and tedious affair. It also relies too much on the ever-present score, performed by orchestra, piano, and typewriter.
Aims at being a more realistic high school comedy, but the plot feels contrived nevertheless. Reece Thompson gives an endearing performance as the stuttering Hal Hefner. Maybe because of this, I wanted to like the movie more than I did. It also felt drawn out at an hour and 40 minutes.
Mildly entertaining.
The broad comedy doesn't always work, but it more often than not elicits a laugh, with charming performances by most everyone involved. Interest peters out in the last act however (no pun intended), and the full on dracula puppet musical is self-indulgent and not very funny.
Their brains were liquefied in their skulls. Really? I might have given this a higher score but having read the graphic novel, I can't forgive the shoddy treatment of the source material, substituting cliche and melodrama in place of original and nuanced writing, and generic sci-fi visuals in place of a gritty, noirish atmosphere.
