I'm not one who insists that moves all be warm and fuzzy, but it would be nice to at least be able to feel something for any of these characters. Instead they are all selfish, mean and self deluded individuals. The fact that I didn't have any response one way or the other to any of them or their actions suggests that Storytelling is not nearly as provocative as it is trying to be. Expand

Interesting enough!... Or maybe not, maybe it's all about our wrong perception - when we force a deep meaning and clever irony on things where they weren't implied at all, the same way as the spectators at the test screening falsely laugh at the Scooby's image, probably in an artificial effort to distance themselves from their own image in the mirror! To me, this movie stays rather on the good side but not high enough. In the essence, it's only a little more than just a depressing movie about depressive people!... Well, a good depressing movie.
