For the new Richard Gere movie "Oh, Canada," it is never a good sign when you are: 1. Hoping that you will doze off; 2. Wondering how a screenplay this bad could ever be greenlighted; 3. Thinking that a movie this bad would find better use as a night light in a nursing home; and 4. Saying to yourself many times during these nightmare two hours, "Please God, make it stop!"
This movie is about a man, Leo Fife, played by Richard Gere, dying of Cancer and decides to record a series of interviews about different events of his life. Unfortunately, all of these different events are extremely boring, disconnected, and at times hard to follow (especially considering the onset of a coma while watching this disaster of two wasted hours). Uma Thurman plays Emma, Leo Fife's wife with a role that was hard to believe any well-known actress would take.
This entire film is nothing more than a series of scenes, then more scenes that do not make sense, and a final merciful conclusion after wasting 1 hour and 31 minutes that seemed like a 3-hours. I for one am very sick of sitting through bad movies like this, blog movie review author or not.
The Rotten Tomatoes ratings for this horrific mess is a way too high 66% with an IMDB score of a very low 5.6. My rating is 6%, recommending this movie for only people who have trouble sleeping.
