Reviews
To me, this movie is perfection.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Seriously, I believe I'm the only person that enjoys this film. I've probably seen it a hundred times since I bought it. I guess people get mad because this movie isn't politically correct, it isn't intelligent, and it isn't sexy, but it's an awesome way to spend less than 90 minutes. Low budget comedies are usually very unfunny and don't even try. This one makes more than just an effort. The comedy isn't exactly laugh out loud, but I'd rather giggle all the way through a movie (like I did with this) rather than have one good laugh and be bored for the remainder of the film. The acting is okay, not great, but tolerable. The plot is pretty much just as you could imagine from the title. It's silly, trashy, and rewatchable. Try it and see.
I generally find some good in most films, but this one would be a real stretch. I think it is more the characters than anything else that are annoying. Some of the accents are pretty hard to take. It would have been better if they had all died in a plane crash on the way to the island.The most annoying, from my standpoint, would be the two photographers. They are just too too hard to take. These two clowns are introduced early working in a studio with a French model. The scene does not make sense, the accents are hard to understand, but the saving grace is getting to watch Eva Derreck stand there in front of them completely nude.In addition much of the humor is lame and crude, particularly the "booty" scene.
I can't even explain how angry I was while watching this movie. I had been drinking which probably made it more tolerable. The ending seems to take 20 minutes. I even fell asleep at the very end and time still could not pass fast enough. 84 minutes is normally tolerable for a comedy but not this one. Death by fart and having a penis were not as entertaining as one might think (imagine that). Thank goodness someone got iced believably by the end. I have a hard time imagining that everyone could hear Wee-man speaking over a loudspeaker....yet all the characters sent to slaughter were in on the plan to convince the lead character she was crazy and killing all the models........odd. While looking at the box at the video store, I thought it could be good. After realizing that the bit players from Shallow Hal, Girl Next Door, Bio-Dome, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High couldn't even carry the weight of supporting roles on their shoulders, I apologize to my friend that I made sit through this movie.
Jamie is familiar to fans of cheesecake. She lampoons her fans mercilessly in this, which she co-produced. It is hilariously juvenile and sophisticated at once.Jamie has somehow recruited some very beautiful women to caricature their own images. Brooke Burns' "pout" is hilarious. It gets better and better, and reaches a nihilistic conclusion.I was amazed that she could come up with such a sophisticated riff. My initial google search did not show an e-mail address for her; I really would like to congratulate her on this. If anyone has her addy, please forward this to her.ChrisBangor ME
