Review of My Own Private Idaho (1991) by Jonathan P — 10 Jan 2012
Not sure what makes this movie so good in the eyes of many critics and viewers? The acting is ok (and the only reason I gave it 1 star instead of 1/2 a star) but other than that this film just plain sucks.
The dialogue couldn't figure out if it wanted to be Shakespeare or reality based and kept switching between the two (something that became quite annoying. The storyline was boring and not touching in any way.
I should have realized what I was getting into when I read "a journey of self discovery" in the synopsis. Sorry I just don't like artsy-fartsy "journey" flicks.
