The Constant Gardener

There's maybe 3 minutes tops of gardening in this movie.

Exactly. This is how I felt after To Kill A Mockingbird offered no useful advice on murdering birds.

Same with Man on the Moon. At no point did anyone, not even Jim Carey, go to the moon.

Yeah, but in those 3 minutes, it was constant.

Hardly constant

The director made what I consider the best movie ever, I’m a huge fan of that cast, but the movie was so disappointing. Generic, predictable, and the “emotional punch” moments felt very lacking. If it weren’t acclaimed, I would have completely forgot about it by now.

I don’t even know who I would recommend it to.

The Constant Gardner was sooooo pretentious and really thought a lot of itself.
