From the creators of “Paranormal Activity”, this summer be prepared for its epic sequel, “Normal Activity”. This 24 hour masterpiece begins rivetingly with the lead character boiling an egg. After this, the hero, who is also a dog walker by trade, takes a dog for a walk. He then proceeds to carefully organize his laundry and after totally failing to do so, parades around in pink pajamas until the late afternoon.
All this action takes place over the course of 17 hours – even though it has only reached the afternoon. The claim that this movie is in real time is vastly exaggerated. It is by all accounts, in “Super Real Time”. In fact, one viewer claimed that the reality was almost too much to bear. Jack Nicholson, at the premiere reiterated that we “Could not handle the Truth” and we tend to believe him.
However, all lovers of pedantry will most definitely find it a “must see”. In fact, if any coma patients happen to be in dire need of entertainment (which they invariably are) it is certainly recommended viewing. Of course any who do not wake up as a result of the experience are no worse off than before.
Certain pernickety critics have argued that this movie is about as entertaining as a mashed potato that’s been left out in the rain. Others claim it the biggest bore since someone made it to the centre of the earth and found nothing there.
Its supporters, numbered as they are in the single digits (that digit being one and him being a coma patient) have understandably refused to comment at this time. Nonetheless, Cinema goers all over the country are doubtless preparing to “Go Normal”. After all the Super Hero flicks and Sci Fi genres have been plumbed, Hollywood has finally stumbled upon what its viewers have wanted on their screen all along: a mirror.
