Featured reviews
Plot: Bad/Pointless Continuity: None Doesn't tie everything in at any point Feeling: Am I dumb, did I miss something, or is this movie actually this bad?
This film has prompted several questions Who OK'd this film to be released? Will I ever forgive myself for wasting 2 hours of my life?
While the answer to the first question is obviously "an idiot", the answer to the second question is actually "yes!".
There's a silver lining. In wasting my time watching this film, I managed to come across film reviews and ratings of this movie afterwards. I got so much joy and laughter (which I did not receive from watching the movie) out of reading how bad the movie was that I actually am happy I watched it. For every second of misery I endured watching the movie, there was a moment of happiness reading a review of an equally disgusted viewer. The ONLY reason to watch the movie is to laugh at the reviews after!
Most movies have some underlying moral or idea that they are trying to get across but even that was missing (which is something I rather like but in this instance I thought that maybe it would be what made the whole thing come together.)
Bottom line, just don't waste your time. If you do you only have yourself to blame... You've been warned
