RANT - Micmacs

And there I was congratulating myself after picking a gem (see "La Mission"). Thinking I was on a roll, we cut along yesterday afternoon to see Micmacs, the story of a Frenchman who teams up with a collection of subversive oddities (the eponymous Micmacs) in order to bring down a couple of weapons manufacturers.

Artful but dull. Clever but unfunny. Like Benny Hill with a bigger budget, and about as captivating.

I would never admit to an afternoon spent in the dark with Mrs Page as a waste of time, but there must have been dozens of better ways to spend a couple of hours.
