Mueller Lake Park Outdoor Amphitheater
Movie Was One of the Worst Ever
RECEIVED Fri., March 21, 2008
Dear Editor,
Four stars for Funny Games U.S. [Film Listings, March 14]? This was one of the worst movies I've seen this year. It wasn't scary or horrifying (if you've seen the trailer, you've seen all of the movie that's worth anything). The photography wasn't great. The acting was mediocre. There were long expanses of time in the movie where virtually nothing was happening. Character and plot development were poor. About the only memorable thing about the movie was the conversations by viewers afterward – everyone I heard was remarking about what a terrible movie and utter waste of time it was. It would be better to go rent a copy of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange instead.
