Query: Irredeemably awful movie. Buy or rent at your peril!

Having enjoyed "Being John Malkovich" I was ready for an offbeat, untidy but funny movie. What this high-powered team delivered instead was a meandering, pointless, self-indulgent movie. They kept trying to tell the story from different perspectives, but this is no Rashomon and Jonze is no Kurosawa.Anyway, as you can see from the other reviews here, others felt very differently. All I can say is (1) you've been warned! (;-) and (2) if you nevertheless rent or buy it and find that you hate the first 15 minutes, PLEASE just turn it off at that point and go off and do something more productive and enjoyable. Which would be almost anything you can think of!
