First things first. Perhaps it was considered "edgy" when it first became popular, but using the f words every two seconds is no longer edgy. It doesn't make your movie interesting, or make your characters sound like they've been through it all. No, it makes your characters sound like ten-year olds trying to boast off with the naughty words they've just learned. And it makes the moviemakers look like they've run out of ideas. In one word: desperation.
I can't possibly imagine who they thought would be interested in this. A young man and a young woman meet in Greece, have some carefree sex. Okay so far. But that's where it ends, about 3 minutes into the movie. The rest is about them sort of becoming a couple, and fighting, and saying f this, f that, f you... then fighting some more. There are also some party scenes, where at least four people speak at the same time, saying things that don't matter to anyone, although nobody seems to want to shut up for a second. Then they fight some more, shout some more, and have some more sex. For 112 minutes.
When it comes to movies, I try to be as open-minded as I can. There are many movies with non-existent plots that can still hold the attention of the audience. Or many movies with one-dimensional characters, that are still watchable due to some other quality. But there has to be at least one redeeming trait about the movie. I found none in Monday.
