Review of Rare Birds

Rare Birds (2001)
2/10
Give me a Break
30 August 2002
What the hell was that? All it is, is a movie about a loser guy named Dave who does coke. I felt like I was watching a combination of my last two ex boyfriends. Maybe I am a stick in the mud, but I really don't find cocaine, lying about a fake bird and some depressing looking coastal town in Newfoundland funny. There is no point to this movie, I mean absolutely *none*. Or maybe I just missed it the way I miss the two wasted hours of my life that I spend watching that crap. I found no laughs, no drama, no anything but dreariness to this pointless tale. I can imagine if it weren't a Canadian film what mainstream Hollywood would have done with it. The two lead characters would have been played by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. There would have been more explosions, an ass-kicking sound track, big parties with naked girls and a sappy finale. And as bad as THAT would have been, at least it would have kept people awake.
