Meet JOE Boring
Martin brest has been known for doing mindless action or soap opera movies, Rank this with the latter as the plot is lifted from Days of Our lives, seeing Brad Pitt perform hopeless vague dialoge, a sloppy love story, and poor Anthony Hopkins having to work with a bad script and a cast of wasted two actor no talents. Critics loved this movie, I think they were payed money by the studio for this drek.

Meet Glamorized Soap
This movie blows. The camera angle, the lighting, the colorless lines and the timing of delivering them--everything done to out-soap the soaps.

"I think I should go home."
"good night."
"good night."

Lines like these burn a full 30 seconds; all told, the movie is about 3 slow, painful hours of nothing happening. In the end the boy and girl walk into a background of fireworks; I guess soap fans should feel amply rewarded, if the idea of making out with the Grim Reaper isn't kind of jarring to them. For me, I had to quote Homer Simpson: "BOOO-RING!"

High Praise for March - not Pitt
The primary reason to buy this DVD set is NOT for "Meet Joe Black" (a forgetable, dry movie), but for the amazing "Death Takes a Holiday" from 1934. For some idiotic reason this is the only way you can buy it - pinned to Brad Pitt's coattail. Frederic March was one of the greatest actors in the history of film, and his performance here is moving and fascinating. Anderson's screenplay gives him a lot of difficult material to interpret. Overall, a brilliant, thought-provoking film. It should stand alone and not have to share space with "Joe Black."
