***A total BORE about being lost in the desert, but Worthwhile for a few reasons*** "Gerry" (2002) is a film by Gus Van Sant, the director of "Good Will Hunting" and "Elephant." It stars Matt Damon and Casey Affleck as two friends who get lost in the desert; they spend the entire film just walking around the beautiful parched landscapes trying to find a way out.

If the film fails to capture your interest, that is, it bores you, causes your thoughts to wander, puts you to sleep, etc. THEN IT'S NOT A GOOD FILM.

Although it's a serious "story" and by no means a comedy, I found myself uproariously laughing on quite a few occasions. Why?
