Christina's Controversial Review of *Across the Universe*

         Is Across the Universe one of my favorite movies ever?  No.  Not even close.  Was it a good way to spend a Saturday night?  Not really.  Did I watch it on a Saturday night?  It may have been some other day of the week.  I don't recall.   Did I even manage to make it through the whole thing?  Ah, I watched some parts here and there.  Did I get a good sense of what the story was about from the parts I did watch?  Yeah.  Do I think I missed much by not paying close attention? Probably not. 

         If you're partial to characters named Jude or meter maids named Rita, if you always wanted the visual image of someone literally crawling in through a bathroom window, or if you do not think your life would be complete if you never caught a glimpse of what Bono would look like on acid, then by all means, watch this movie.  If you like your movies to come with a plot, then steer clear.

         Final verdict:  I liked the soundtrack.
