So I guess the people that didn't like it just didn't understand it....? ;)
I "got" it, but I just don't believe Roth did it very effectively. I think it was too ambitious for him to be honest, he was trying to make a smarter movie than he was capable of at the time. I applaud the attempt, but yes, the first part does come across as sex over substance. It was just boring, in the hands of a more experienced filmmaker it could have been very effective, but it just wasn't in the hands of this one. I liked a lot of it, and I respect Roth because I do think he has great potential. He's just not there yet.
