Nothing really is, but I am one of the people who were impressed by positive reviews on the net and made a mistake of wasting my time (not to mention the money). Never mind the computer fantasy element: is is much easier to believe then poorly written incoherent characters and pathetic acting. The director, as I discovered later, is the same guy who made Mike Jackson's "Billiejean" - no wonder the whole thing looked like an excuse for stringing together several (not so good) videos. The man got too exited about capitalizing. Few good laughs could not save anything. True, I dislike videos and romantic comedies, but I seem to have been able to tell good ones more or less objectively. Mike Musing P.S. Koo Stark's (prince Andy's friend) name was mentioned by Moviegoer in article about ED. What role does she play? They could have utilized a person with her qualifications more productively. :-)
