Seraglio (2000)
Oscar Night Justice!

I really wanted to like this movie. Unfortunately, the egregiously poor direction and hackneyed script made that impossible.
The actors (especially the one who played the mailman) all gave valiant attempts to rise above the poor writing and direction, but one sensed an acute desperation on their parts. It's almost as if they knew what they were up against, and derived their only joy from knowing the film would be very short.
I think the worst thing about the movie was the blandness. No surprises, reversals, or wit. When Oscar night rolled around, there was something karmically right about Ben Stiller happily calling out the name of another, better film.
