Sick Product of a Sick System

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I obtained this as part of a batch of early Bullock and they were a lot easier for me to find than a couple of years ago. This has the qualities of many of Sandra Bullock's other very earliest features, so it will not appeal to everyone. With this there is poor visual quality. It is a 4x3 screen image likely trimmed from wider. Sandy is only in a few parts. I still find it to be okay, just not for watching too often. Liable to appear to gradually improve if not watched all that often. More approachable than Hangmen. Very okay Bullock. It is also looking at questions of good practice, doing that in a fairly simple and open way. Those who like later Sandy because of the 'good guy' element could find that most of these early Sandy have something too, but expressed in a way that is easier in some ways but more difficult because of the low budget factor. * Is this about religious or political or business beliefs? It is very post seventies. Sandy manages to keep to her good girl beliefs, typical early Sandy, but gets badly mauled because of that. There is a happy ending, which is fitting and makes for a nicer sort of entertainment. That a less than happy ending might appear to be more reasonable is not the issue as entertainment value has a priority, here. This is obviously not a low budget documentary about post seventies beliefs, though it does have a lot of the qualities that such a documentary might have.

This was just about one of the worst movies I have seen! It is about a guy who is fired from his job and while very drunk is supposedly visited and told by God to start a new religion. He decides to start a self-satisfaction religion causing a huge uproar. It was, in my opinion, 81 minutes of pure torture. Sandra Bullock is advertised blatantly on the cover but she has only a very small role. She does well in her role, but it is too small to help the movie any. The movie honestly has no plot, and pretty bad acting. The end is quite bad, showing Sandra Bullock's character getting back with her lazy, jerky boyfriend. In reality, he deserved to be dumped- considering his made-up religion gets her beat-up and hospitalized. I would not recommend watching, renting, or buying this movie unless you are into movies with bad acting and no plot. If you do happen to watch this movie, I suggest you get into a vegetative state as this is the only way you will get through the entire movie.

Sandra Bullock, bless her heart, is on screen for mere fleeting moments in this dunghill of bad writing, bad production values, bad concept, bad acting, this agglomeration of remorseless stupidity that should never have been made. Everything that Bullock has done from this movie forward is undoubtedly partly done to put this movie farther and farther behind her. In this film, a talentless loser is visited by God who tells him to start a corporation, but neglects to say what sort of company. Talentless loser decides that it would be a clever idea to start a new religion, with greed and self interest as the cornerstones. "The worst of capitalism and the best of Christianity" is the general idea. Wow! How imaginative! Big surprise, the idea works, the TL is raking in the dough, and then, surprise! he Sees The Light, declares himself and the religion a bad idea, a fraud, and gives it all up. In the end, for the final Huge Surprise, TL and Sandra Bullock are reunited on a tropical island paradise (well, we don't know that, we only see the inside of the plane terminal), he declares his love, she accepts him for some unfathomable reason, and they walk off down the hallway in blissful togetherness, probably grateful to have this wretched stinkball of a movie behind them. This film is actually worse than Governor Arnie's The Villain, which is really bad.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. I watched it all the way through hoping for some redeeming ending but there was none. I was very glad to see that this is only the second movie for Sandra Bullock.
