John and Mary (1969)
6/10
An odd movie about an odd relationship, but kind of works.

For most of the movie, quite frankly, I was so bored I dosed off about five times. Once the end of the movie neared, however, I started to like it. Of course, my DVR has a habit of only liking to record the first hour and twenty-five minutes of things, leaving me with the need to buy the movie just to skip everything and watch the last five minutes.

A brief synopsis of the film would be that Dustin Hoffman, an emotionally challenged, furniture designer, and Mia Farrow, a worker at an art gallery, meet at a bar, then have sex, and spend the next day in his apartment, talking and thinking about themselves and their past-loves. Eventually, she leaves, never learning his name and him never learning hers and, they eventually meet again when he tries to find her, but discovers her in his own home instead, and they begin to date (thanks to my television, I'm guessing, so don't take my word for it).

All together, the movie is strangely cohesive and an interesting view on the romance of two romantically blunt people.

Buy the movie and WATCH it, I know I have to.
