...yawn...

Actually, it was semi-entertaining until it was forcibly jettisoned out of someone's ass and you realize it was actually an enormous turd making its way through the intestines of Cameron Crowe the whole time. At the end, it was so space-agey and outlandish and, perhaps, Scientologistic that I felt like I was afraid I was going to involuntarily sign up on the little sign-up sheet they passed around in the lobby. I think it was a brainwashing technique because membership is low due to the fact that Scientology basically has no street cred whatsoever (even tho Beck is evidently a member, now) and the L. Ron Hubbard foundation needs money just like the government, big business and you and me, so they figured, let's make this horrible movie starring Tom Cruise and... ok this is completely tangential and I want to wrap it up, so lets just say "kaka" and move on. PS-Penelope Cruz is cute as a baby kitten the first 15 times she is featured onscreen being "cute", but the last 400 times it just gets really nauseating and you just want her to quit blinking adorably and cease with the phony Spanish accent.
