Adoration is one of those stupefying movies that begin to annoy you as the movie runs along culminating to utter contrivance reducing it to junk. The movie feels totally fraudulent by the time the final credits are scrolling mostly because of it's artificial and preposterous writing.(spoiler)The whole movie boils down to a horribly 2-Dimensional racially/religiously charged arguments between Lebonese Dad and Prejudiced Father-In-Law, one which sets the needed friction and momentum for everything else. The movie attempts to weave a big web of details too big for it's own good. There is dead-end scenes over and over talking about terrorism depicted on internet "chatrooms" adding zero - nothing but extraneous dead weight for the sake of shock value and "buzz". This is similar to watching characters in a movie watch another movie or TV - it flat out conveys nothing.(another spoiler)By the end we have a young kid questioning his past and some strangely obsessed Lebonese French teacher egging him on to create untruthful stories about his father to deal with his pent-up emotional grief fortified on by earlier stated Father-in-Law (Grand-father). This is a movie that got re-edited too much.
