THE RUM DIARY, R ( 2 hr & 0 min )




Quickie Review:  A writer goes down to Puerto Rico and gets hired by a struggling local newspaper.  Before long, he comes across shady American entrepreneurs working on an illegal property development deal; and they want him to write favorably  on  them and their business deal.

The audience was entertained by this.

But I wasn't.  There was not one likable character in the bunch, not even the girl!  I wouldn't associate with anyone of them in real life.  I dozed off and on throughout the movie.  That's how interested I was in this whole thing.

This Psychological/Period Piece/Comedy movie is basically just for those who are over 18 and who are likely able to identify themselves with any of the unsavory characters in this movie.  Other than that, I wouldn't recommend this movie to any other group, especially those impressionable ones who are simply looking for some vicarious thrills.

If you must see this, wait for it to come out as a Rental.
