Life is Sweet

Two Thumbs Down :: No big surprise, as all of the “real” critics agree, this movie was a huge waste of time and money. I am a self-professed Steve Carell nut, and I have to say, I felt embarrassed for him as I watched him flail and scream through this total lack of creative effort.

It started rough. But I was willing to suspend disbelief for awhile – I mean, a newly-elected congressman making so much money he could buy a million dollar house and a hummer. Okay, this is a movie where the suspension of disbelief is key to getting through the plot. But it just gets unbearable.

I don’t want to include spoilers here so I won’t go into further details. All I can say is, save your money. If you must, wait for the DVD. Even that will be too much to pay for this humorless joke of a film.
