Ok here's what you can expect if you choose to watch M.M.M.M. I'll be the first to admit that some days I'm just not in the mood for "2001: A Space Odyssey" and I'd rather just pop in. So let's hope my 1st two paragraphs were enough to help you make a decision on whether or not to watch this flick.

M.M.M.M. Even the title "Martha Marcy May Marlene" is so boring that most thriller audiences will fall asleep before they finish reading it.
