My recent re-watch of it left me unimpressed, yeah. I saw this movie years and years ago and I don't remember disliking it all that much, I think I just thought it was okay, or even fairly good.
I watched it again just yesterday as it came up on TV, and I disliked it. The main character comes across as an annoying child. I realize that's the point of the movie he's finally growing up. But even so, he was tiresome and I didn't even buy that he'd truly learned anything by the end of the movie.
They just got back on the same train again without really growing as people. -

Sorry, but as I tell my film students: "There are no boring films, just boring people." Give this film another chance, and this time don't quite halfway through annoying characters grow. You're not giving it a chance.

There are no boring films, just boring people.
If you really mean that, you shouldn't teach what you teach. It means you have no value judgment.
However, there's plenty to like in this movie. It is a honest, funny and original movie with likeable characters that are still realistic. -

To the OP, yeah, same, couldn't finish it. There was just nothing about Rob that would convince me that a woman like Laura would come back to an a-hole like that, I don't know of any woman that would have stuck around for half of his bull and it was science fiction for her to just go running back when Rob didn't do jack to win her affection back, he just acted like a 3 year old the whole time. Maybe the movie should have just focused on records and people that buy records.
Life is always intense for a repo man. -

It pays off for me in the end, but the buildup is horribly blurred. The first hour is pretty dreadful, and then suddenly he isn't a total dick. I gave it a 7, but only for the ending. The first hour sucks.
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.
