03/02/00: ALLO review: crap

Posted By: withnail


Okay, I guess I'm not the only one so far who didn't like this movie. I've seen so many movies, I think probably more than the average ALLO (A Life Less Ordinary) fan (otherwise they'd pick up on the crap). I mean, how many movies are you choosing from when you make your favorite movie list? About 3? Good things about ALLO: Ewan McGregor/Robert, the three scenes I laughed at (1:Robert in Celine's father's office when he's on the floor with security, wrestling with them. 2: when Robert keeps screwing up the ransom phone call in the phone booth. 3: when Lindo takes Robert out into the woods to kill him and Robert freaks out because he's so scared), the LOOK of the film. Turn off the sound and it's nice to look at. Crappy things: Cameron Diaz being a snapping bitch, violence that comes out of nowhere and isn't funny (the dentist cutting into Robert's leg), the "romance" not being romantic, that useless scene with the backwoods neighbor, and by the time I knew where the plot was going I really didn't care anymore.
