Richardo Reviews: 'Australia'

[Richardo]

x(

A three-hour romance novel. And I mean that in the bad way.

I'm the kind of person that lets a story just kind of flow over me - I don't try to figure out plot twists or hidden motivations or logical gaps or anything like that. I just sit there and absorb the story. That being said, even I could see every plot twist, hidden motivation and logical gap in this POS coming from MILES away. It reminded me of the kind of story an eight-year-old would invent. Not surprisingly, an eight-year-old narrates it.

The movie ended once, then went on for another 90 minutes to resolve another plot.

I did not know that the director was the 'Moulin Rouge' guy, which I guess explains Nicole Kidman. It might also explain why I've never seen 'Moulin Rouge'.

Oh, and for the ladies (and gay guys): Huge Ackman has one particular bathing scene that is the PERFECT romance novel cover art. I admit it made me laugh it was so blatant.

On the plus side, I also saw 'Lars and the Real Girl' over the weekend and that was a great flick.
