CGiii Comment
Oh dear...an uneventful, inventive catastrophe.
King's writing is lacklustre, flat and plagiaristic - but, the main problem is that it simply is not funny.
It's like watching a bad John Irving novel made into a bad film with elements of Being John Malkovich and Withnail and I - thrown in for inspiration.
The result: a flaccid flop.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Stephen has agoraphobia and, in the flat he won't leave, meticulously labels and stores everything from nail clippings to urine. In long flashbacks we see a trip to the continent he took with his only friend Bunny, an outgoing, inveterate gambler. The European trip is a bit dull (Stephen wants to visit every museum imaginable) until one night in Poland they meet Eloisa, a Spanish waitress, and offer to drive her home for her city's fiesta. We can guess that the trip won't end well - because Stephen is now stuck in his flat with occasional visits from Bunny - but will anything in the reverie move Stephen to action?
