Life is too short to watch "Holland." [View all]

I can't believe I spent 110 minutes on this thing - pausing for dogs, dinner, dogs, a baseball game, and dogs. It was absolutely, irredeemably DREADFUL!!

I'd have given due props to Nicole Kidman for her constant work (fabulous agents, magical plastic surgeons) but she needs to learn to turn down scripts. There are some actors whose names signify that a movie is 90% sure to be good, because they're choosy about what they accept -- Meryl Streep of course, but also Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, ymmv but you get the idea.

Why on earth is Kidman overworking at this point in her career and accepting horrible projects like "Holland?"

(For that matter, Matthew Macfayden was wasted here, as well. He is far, FAR too good for this.)

Just my opinion!
