While one is asked to baby sit their boss' dangerously pretty young wife, the other suddenly realizes that he must give up his life of crime.

Review:

So another movie I was given a tremendous amounts of shit for having never seen. I have enjoyed everyone of Quentin Tarantino's films that came before & after this, so why hadn't I seen this until now? Couldn't tell you. I'm going to be completely honest, it's not that I didn't like it, it just wasn't anything special to me. Everything was just average. I didn't laugh out loud at anything, there isn't anything the definitively stands out in my mind. A lot of the scenes I had seen spoofed on The Simpsons over the years, plus the scene in the diner when Roth & Plummer are yelling at everyone to get down is at the beginning of a Fun Lovin' Criminals song, but that was really the extent of my knowledge of the film. The acting was good but I wasn't a fan of the boring ass dialogue. I hate movies where there are scenes with people have menial bull shit conversations about a specific topic that has nothing to do with anything. Every conversation that any two characters have is that. Cinematicaly it was good, it was very well shot & directed. Tarantino doesn't do anything poorly. Again this was a major vehicle for him to showcase his massive foot fetish (not as bad as in From Dawn Till Dusk, but still pretty obvious). Can someone please tell me how in the fuck people think Uma Thurman is attractive? I always hear people saying how incredibly attractive & hot she is. What the fuck? She looks like an alien. Her wide spread eyes & pale skin is grody. I finally got to see the scene of Travolta & Jackson in the apartment with the three guys which I have seen spoofed many a times before. Finally seeing it was pretty god damn awesome. SLJ is great in everything he does. I think I will be forever scared for life at the reccuring nightmares I will have about Ving Rhames getting "Ned Beatty'd" in the back room of the gun shop.

Overall I didn't hate it, I just didn't love it as much as so many millions of other people did.
