Movie Moment: Phone Booth

Some IMDb poster called this film “taught, original, daring, [and] very entertaining.”

Not quite. It was entertaining, and all the more so because Colin Farrell’s attempts at a Bronx accent weren’t always successful. Plus it was fun to imagine Jim Carrey in the flick (rumor has it he was offered it first.)

Of course, there’s only so much you can wring out of the phone booth conceit, and in this case, it was about 81 minutes.
