I have seen very good movies that I hated (The Bishop's Wife). I have seen "Chick Flicks" I didn't like but I knew were good (Thelma and Louise). Given this, I feel I can say safely "Hours" was just a bad movie. Someone decided that throwing three self absorbed,depressed women together - years apart - who had read Virginia Woolf, giving them meaning lives and a sever lack of wisdom would make a good movie. Wrong! The words boring and tedious do not do this movie justice. Nicole Kidman may have deserved the Best Actress Oscar for her role in "Moulin Rouge!" in 2002, I don't know. But to give her the Oscar for this one note role of Virginia Woolf was a joke. Also, the background music was a bad as the rest of the movie. It was annoying, inappropriate and, worst of all, intrusive. I gave the movie a two for its production values.
