p>I popped "A Life Less Ordinary," last night. It became unbearable within seconds of the opening credits. I think I was able to sit through more of "Young Einstein," than this piece of shit. The cast included Ewan MacGregor, Cameron Diaz, and Delroy Lindo in feature roles and near great TV actors like Stanley Tucci, Tony Shaloub and Dan Hedeya in supporting roles. The casting director should have won an Oscar. But there's nothing worse than a gag comedy in which the gags aren't funny and occur so infrequently that the director times the cuts second's after the gag so you have time to have a good laugh without losing the banal plot. I challenge anyone to sit through this whole thing.
