When I start watching a film, I earnestly hope that it will feature either The President of The United States of America or even better, a writer.
I think most people would agree that there is nothing so great as films featuring writers, preferably ones who are struggling to write a story due to their writer's block. I'd like to ask Hollywood, if they cannot give us our beloved POTUS, please put a writer with writer's block in every single film. It's so incredibly interesting to find out about writer's block guys! I divide my life into two stages, the first stage of sadness and the second stage of true happiness when at last I got to see very many Hollywood pictures featuring a writer struggling to write something because of his writer's block. Even better would be to add in some advice from luminaries like Norman Mailer or Gore Vidal on how to be a better writer.
This particular writer has a secret, which is that he eats vast quantities of sweetcorn while writing, which he somehow manages to grow very successfully in a shady spot between some trees, which he can see out of a window in the house. Note to film makers: vegetable crop plants don't grow in shady spots beneath trees guys! You're welcome.
I watched the first bit of it, then it got very boring around the time he went to the police about his dog, so I went to the end of it, I didn't want to spend any more time on this so I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia.
I've heard that Johnny Depp's fans are so loyal that any film he's in makes money, which probably explains this low-effort film. I'm writing this review to remind me not to watch any more of his films.
