Disappointing, disappointing

Yesterday was a day of disappointments. Not in terms of the day itself and the people I was with but dispppointing due to the movie and musical I watched.

I was full of expectations for the new movie, Mr & Mrs Smith, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Two gorgeous actors who actually can act in an action movie, expectations were high from the moment the movie started. The movie got off on a promising start and was especially witty during the dinner scene where the two leads have found out each other's identity and were taking precautions against each other. Unfortunately, after that scene, the rest of the movie went downhill and turned into mindless action scene after action scene with no plot. Even the ending was abrupt. The audience never got to know how or why their respective agencies decided to stop hunting them down. I had such high hopes for the movie and ended feeling quite disppointed with it. Of course, the two leads make such a drool-worthy couple but sadly that alone was not enough to hold the movie.

The other disappointment for the day was the Phua Chu Kang (PCK) musical. I had free tickets to that, just in case, you, dear reader are wondering why I actually paid money to watch it. I went to the musical with little expectation, expecting at the least, a laugh at the slapstick jokes so typical in a PCK episode. Sadly, I never knew what went on in the musical as I fell asleep around half an hour into it and my friend had to prod me awake during intermission. I felt this urge to leave but decided it was rather rude and maybe I should show some support for local productions. I stayed awake throughtout the second half but my impression of the musical never improved. The plot was flimsy and the ending quite bizzarre. I attended the musical, with hope that I will be surprised and proven wrong. I know now that I should have stayed at home and cleaned my room instead. At least, my time would have been better spent.
