The only problem was that the dialogue in this particular movie was awful. It was about nothing. It was exactly like the conversations about nothing that real people have.

It wasn't funny, interesting, and it did not advance the plot or give you more insight into the characters. The dialogue, which is usually the highlight of any Tarantino movie, was the thing that ruined it.
