I went to see Grand Budapest Hotel at the Esquire Theater here in Denver Sunday night. The film critic for the Denver Post, Lisa Kennedy, gave it 4 stars, and made it sound pretty good, so I decided to give it a try. I should have known better, after having gone to see Woody Allen's To Rome With Love, which Kennedy also gave 4 stars. That particular movie was the most excruciating film I've had to sit through since Yentl, which I'm willing to bet Kennedy also gave 4 stars. The Grand Budapest Hotel wasn't awful - just stupid. Really stupid. And it didn't even take place in Budapest, for God's sake. I want my $11 back, Lisa! Be sure to send it to me postage paid.
