1.0 out of 5 stars Oh my...., October 17, 2004
This review is from: The Theory of the Leisure Class (DVD)
Oh my goodness...I don't think I have seen a worse film in all my years. I am a huge fan of Brad Renfro and thought, "Hey, why don't I add another one of his DVDs to my collection, since he is a really good actor so I know none of his movies could be bad, at least in my mind because just him being in the movie is an automatic 3 stars." Boy, was I wrong! I couldn't even watch this. I had to keep pausing it and returning back. It was just horrible. I bought it used and wish I could take it back...that was 15 dollars shot out of my pocket. I don't recommend viewing this due to the complete torture of boredom. But I think you should watch this if you hope to become a screen writer on what NOT to write. If they can make movies like this I have a bunch of scripts I think they should put together than would be block buster hits compared to this film. Just absolutely horrible. Not to mention, Brad Renfro was only in like 3 scenes with like 2 lines. Just horrible. Completely horrible.

5.0 out of 5 stars smart without preachiness, February 27, 2010
This review is from: The Theory of the Leisure Class (DVD)
i think the reviewer before me didnt take time to look at the underlying meaning of the movie through all its nuances. this film is named after an essay published in 1899, about conspicuous consumption (wiki it) in modern society. it is scary how on the mark that essay was, and how much it applies to our world today. this movie script is a take on that idea, using a murder-mystery storyline to show the ugly side of modernity, with it's obsession of brands and consuming products. i think what i love most is that never in the movie does it stop to say that THIS is what the movie is about. it doesn't preach anything, it just shows a farcical reality in american society.
i havent seen it in a while, which is why i'm here buying a copy, but i remember finishing it and thinking how smart in its subtlety it was.
