Most overrated supposed-to-be-smart movie?
The category is contemporary mainstream movies that are supposed to be smart, edgy and artsy. Which one is most overrated? My pick is The Matrix (but Donnie Darko is close).

I wouldn't even put The Matrix anywhere close to this category in the first place, so yeah, if you think it's supposed to be smart and artsy, then it would be a good choice.
The Charlie Kaufman movies I've seen (Adaptation and Being John Malkovich) I really wanted to like much more than I did. I can appreciate that both are very clever without necessarily getting all that much out of them. They were both okay, but kind of overhyped for my taste. |

Resevoir Dogs - pure, unadulterated crap.
