Query: Blah! Dull and disappointing!

When Tim Robbins and Sean Penn won Academy awards for their roles in "Mystic River," I just knew I'd see the film sooner or later. Plus, I love Tim Robbins' progressive politics anyway. This movie was such a letdown. It ran too long. I didn't sympathize with Robbins' character in the slightest. I loved Robbins' dorky look and I loved Penn's muscular torso, gray temples, and big hair. However, any admiration stops there. This film was a bunch of nothing. I don't know why Laurence Fishburne put on so much weight for his role. This film wouldn't help people understand the sexually abused better and it wouldn't help the sexually abused come to terms with their tragic victimization. I love the way that sports balls falling into sewers was a metaphor here. In fact, they should have played it up more. Still, very disappointing. This must be one reason why moviegoers don't take the Oscars seriously.
