The fact that everyone's name associated with the movie is spelled with mostly consonants should have been a tip off that this is another movie by former members of the eastern block that want to try their hand in the movie business. The title must refer to the fact that George Clooney is the only American in or associated with the movie. It is slightly more invigorating than sitting in a lawn chair watching a glacier move, but no where near as interesting as watching grass grow. If they could bottle the essence of this movie it would be the perfect cure for insomnia.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Couldn't tell whether Charlie was a psycho or a male version of the Ghost Whisperer.

Absolutely awful. Other than a couple of old ladies chuckling at the celery scene (you don't want to know), I don't think I heard a single laugh from the audience. If this is the best SNL can come up with, it is doomed.
I have been looking forward to seeing this movie for quite a while. Unfortunately, it was long, boring, and had few (very few) laughs. Should have been billed as a drama. Would still have been awful, but at least I wouldn't have gone thinking I was going to see something funny.
This movie is apt to become a cult classic in the vein of "Mommy Dearest." It was so campy they everyone was laughing uncontrollably rather than shrieking with fright. Rather than advertising this flick as a horror movie, it could just as well be labeled as a comedy. It was a hoot.
I go to two or three movies a week and have never walked out on one and never written a review. This one was so bad, I thought it merits a warning to save everyone a few bucks. Hollywood has spent millions of dollars developing tripods, steady cams, and great digital effects. This movie was apparently shot on a cell phone to give it some kind of artsy look. If you like movies with pictures of nose hair, chins, the camera dangling upside down, awful actors, and effects that might have been good if the camera wasn't bouncing up and down so you could see them, this is your film. The first 15 minutes were so awful if I had had a sharpe object on me I would have cut my wrists. Kept hoping it would get better and then it just ended after only 84 minutes. Mixed blessing. Awful beyond words, but at least they were merciful and ended it early. Godzilla shot on a cell phone camera.
