Inherent Vice

I know, I know, it's a film you're meant to watch more than once, but to be perfectly honest, I have absolutely zero inclination to do so because it was just so boring to me.

Like, what am I missing here? It's a by-the-numbers crime thriller that's occasionally funny, and has good performances and a decent soundtrack, but other than that there's nothing special about it whatsoever, and the plot's convoluted and confusing as hell to boot.

This is the only PTA film I've seen so far, so I'll no doubt come back to it one day once I've seen a few more, but for now...I mean I certainly hope it's his worst one.
