Three hours with no discernible narrative structure makes for a painful experience.
The rare and occasional laugh from this film could not save it from being one of the most annoying 3 hour experiences of 2009. The whining and ultimately unlikable characters struggled to keep themselves interesting within a film with no discernible end (and therefore no ultimate meaning) to it. Avoid at all costs.
