The Discovery of Heaven
So dull and uninteresting to me. The plot and dialogue were corny and the whole film dragged on horrifically long. Genuinely had my jaw clenched for the last 45 minutes because of how badly I wanted it to be over. Not to mention the total lack of ingenuity made for a very unmemorable film. Would not recommend.
