How can a film about Salvador Dali be so boring and bland? I know a little about the artist, and this film has literally not taught me anything new. I don't know why we're expected to care about the "romance" between the assistant ( whose entire acting range is either a smile, or a confused pout) and the stereotypical blonde hanger on character. It is also painfully clear that they couldn't get the rights to use any classic Dali paintings, so the "this is a painting that no one will ever forget" scene suffers as you don't get to see the work that inspired such a passionate reaction. It's dull.
