This looks like a really stupid movie

I cannot get myself to watch it where the premise of some guy goes to Vegas to commit suicide by drinking himself to death and meets a hooker with a heart of gold for him.

Just seems boring, depressing and all around dumb and overrated.

Dunno why such a retarded premise gets such high marks and praise.

IT IS VERY DEPRESSING...SLIGHTLY BORING TOO...NIC CAGE IS ON FIRE THOUGH...AMAZING PERFORMANCE.

ALSO...RETARDED IS NOT A PUTDOWN.

You can't even say the word anymore without people losing their minds over it.. It's referred to as "Mentally challenged"

Nic Cage makes it slightly less depressing with some humor.

It's an incredibly depressing movie that believe it or not, won some Oscars..

[–] WarrenPeace (2267) 2 months ago

That's another reason I don't care for the Oscars.
No comedies are nominated.

Which is ironic since it's a comedian who hosts the damn thing.

Several comedies have been nominated in different categories over the years.

[–] WarrenPeace (2267) 2 months ago

Not enough.

It should have it's own category with a winning comedy every year.

It's not stupid or boring. It is an excellent film with fantastic performances.
