Who could ask for anything more.....

So I was flipping though the channels this afternoon and stumble upon An American In Paris.  I had never seen it, but knew it had won several Academy Awards (6 to be exact, including Best Picture), so I checked it out.

God, what a waste of time.  It was horrible.  The main character pressures a woman into going on a date even after she forcefully told him no.  That same woman how eventually agreed to a date is already dating another man, and agrees to marry him as the movie carries on. That man, brings her back to the main character at the movies end and basically gives her to him, with a SMILE (?!) on his face.  A rich sugar mama is basically bipolar through most of the film.  None of the main characters were sympathetic, and I cared not a whit about them.

And worst of all, was the last 20 minutes....it's some ballet/dance sequence which has nothing to do with the main storyline, at least as I far as I could tell.  It's like they filmed and an hour and a half of movie and then said, "Hmm, not long enough. Let's tack on a surreal dance bit to make the film longer!"

Despite how bad the whole thing I was surprised to see, in bit roles, Lois Lane from the 50's Superman TV show, Aunt Harriet from the 60s Batman TV show, and Colonel Bellows from I Dream Of Jeannie!

But anyway.....6 Oscars?  Nope, I don't get it at all.
