two great performances, but besides that, a boring movie with nothing to really keep me engrossed and an ending that left me excited to get to my car.

TWBB was a much, much, better movie.

The individual performances of Leaf and Hoffman are top shelf, the movie itself leaves much to be debated. It seemed to me that there were just pieces missing through out the film. I thought it would be better, but then again I don't think you can compare anything to TWBB.

I've liked every PTA movie so given the buzz here and the actors involved I just figured I'd love this.

Was definitely disappointed and it just wasn't unrealistic expectations.

I suppose it's by good chance, but I was in the middle of reading "Moby Dick" when I saw this. It's definitely a help in finding "meaning" in the story, as the original draft of the script pays homage to the book.

The acting was amazing. The more I think about it, it would probably work well as a play just not a movie.

That's ridiculous. One of the best sequences in the movie was the first processing session (or audit session) with Phoenix and Hoffman and the intercutting flashbacks and memories. Such fluid, meditative filmmaking that you of course couldn't duplicate on a stage.

sure, if two men straddling the line between meaning and the maddening void together is homoerotic

You can blame the people who don't like movies.
