Something Wild (1961)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 6/22

6/22: Here's a boring film: Something Wild.

I thought this was the original source before Ray Liotta showed up out of nowhere to torment Melanie Griffith and Jeff Daniels, but nope. Instead, it's about Carroll Baker, who's the most tedious actress alive, wandering around New York City, hence the agonizingly slow pace.

When Ralph Meeker made his first appearance which is an hour into it, I thought things would finally improve, but nope. The second half is a "feeling out each other" improv acting workshop that's straight out of Lee Strasberg's Theater of Bullshit. To escape, all the girl had to do is remove the pins from the hinges. Yet she stupidly comes back and decides to marry his kidnapper. Only in Hollywood...

All in all, Something Wild is among the dumbest and slowest movies I've ever seen in my life.
