Well, having not read the book, I have to say this was one of the most fucked-up and disturbing movies I've seen in a long time. Depressing too... and I was expecting a comedy. 12 years 7 months ago

"Brief Interviews With Hideous Men" reps a misguided attempt to shift some raw, if rarefied, ideas about the battle of the sexes from the printed page to the bigscreen. Thesp John Krasinski ("The Office") has adapted a book by the late literary wunderkind David Foster Wallace into what largely amounts to a collection of monologues of men disclosing their innermost thoughts about women to Sara (Julianne Nicholson), who has been jilted by Krasinski's character. It's a very academic movie about academics that belongs in academia, not movie theaters. Piece as written might prove more successful as an Off-Broadway-style play. 13 years ago
