I have to say right off the bat that Mr. Otter
and I started watching this
movie and turned it off halfway through, even
though we were both looking
forward to seeing it. Yes, it does have Sean in
it, he is indeed adorable
and was very cute and curmudgeonly in this
movie. Nonetheless, it sucked.
Famous but alienated writer takes youth on the streets under his wing, teaches him to write, everyone learns a lesson. For me, it sucked because I hate Catcher in the Rye and the whole Salinger-as-godlike-writer thing- that was one of the MOST boring and pointless books I have ever read, and it pissed me off that the central character was so obviously cast in that mold. Secondly, Mr. Otter is a writer, and we both know a bit about the craft of writing. Evidently more than the screenwriter...we finally got so disgusted with the stuff they had Sean telling that poor kid about 'how to write' that we gave up and turned it off. Skip this one, it's a dog. |
