For those of you who used to read my old blog, which is most likely none of you, maybe Jay, or Russ, or Bitty, but everybody else probably doesn’t know how much I used to dislike this movie. Then I read people commenting saying to watch it a few times, that it grows on you. Excuse me, how in the fuck does a movie with a shit monster grow on you? Well, you’re about to find out.
First off, the cast was amazing, even Morgan Freeman was adequate. So anytime you can get Jason Lee, Timothy Olyphant, Thomas Jane, Tom Sizemore, Morgan Freeman, and Donnie Whalburg as a mentally handicapped gentleman name Dudditz, well that is a fine piece of business.
So this is where I mention that it has been almost 24 hours since I last wrote. I am behind like 5 or 6 movies at this point. Fucking A.
Back to Dreamcatcher. So this movie proved to be a fun and memorable movie, maybe for all the wrong reasons, but it has a hint of Stand By Me in it, and that’s a fine movie. You have 4 lifelong friends dating back to like middle school. They save a mentally handicapped individual named Dudditz, and they have remained close through the years. The acting is fine for what it was. I typically like Jason Lee anyway, same Olyphant and Jane. This story is bizarre and it may not ring true the first time you see it. If you see it, I suggest to try to have no expectations, and you may get some enjoyment out it. I don’t think it really deserves this high, but gonna go 6.4. I like it.
