An Exercise In Nonsense
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Good comedy. It went full romantic in the end, but lots of laughs before that.Can't understand why people are down on this. It goes for love at first sight and sets as many obstacles as possible, with a good twist at the wedding.The three actresses create a good set of characters, and it's interesting to see the different personalities. Diaz carries it (although she can't dance), Applegate is razor sharp, and Blair is the beauty needing more screen time.The San Fran gay side goes over the top with the medical emergency blowjob, but anyone complaining about the vulgarity needs brain surgery. Through the eye. With a ... And the glory hole scene should have been trashier.
Is it just me, or is Cameron Diaz the most nauseating actress...ever? Lately it seems that every movie she is in that shows her grinning into the camera should insert a sparkling gleam like a gum or toothpaste commercial. That sickening sweet smile and cutesy looks are getting OLD!!!! Honestly, I see no acting talent. All I see is cute smiles and looks into the camera that screams, "Look at me! I'm pretty!". Think I'm kidding? Watch The Holiday with her and Kate Winslet. In fact, Cameron Diaz AND Jude Law are too sugary sweet in that movie that I could do without either one of them and just have the movie with Kate Winslet and Jack Black only featured and it would be a far better movie with far better actors. Also......Cameron Diaz seems to have developed John Travolta's issue of having to dance in almost every movie she is in or that I have seen her in. Honestly, she doesn't dance that great. Does she know it, though? I think she should be told.
To ease their roommate through a relationship-induced depression, Christina Walters and Courtney Rockcliffe take her out on the town. During their attempts to find her "Mr. Right Now", Christina meets Peter Donahue. Missing her opportunity with him that night, Christina is talked into pursuing him to his brother's wedding.....I've seen a hell of a lot of movies. On this site alone, I've reviewed over 1300 movies, and rated over 4000. But hand on heart, I can honestly say that this poor excuse for a movie is the single most awful film watching experience I have ever had.Its sexist in more ways that one could explain, but seeing as its three girls, it's okay, after all,the Spice Girls made girl power so immature and abhorrent back in 1996.Its inconsistent, unfunny, and quite offensive to the senses. If these three characters were support in an American Pie movie, or some other bawdy comedy like Superbad, people would be up in arms declaring the film makers as sexist.Diaz is awful, as is Blair and that awful scene toward the end must have been so embarrassing for her.Applegate is bad, but at least she doesn't over do the stupid lines she is given.Seriously if a film bores me I wouldn't give it a second thought.But this film, centred around poisonous consumerist articles, make the Sex and the City girls look polite and sensitive. It literally made me angry.And for a piece of fiction to do that, really grieves me.
There are very few films I have ever seen (And I have seen thousands of them) that are without a single redeemable factor: "Jewel Robbery" 'The Adventures Of Pluto Nash", "Teenage Catgirls In Heat", "Walk On the Wild Side" and "The Sweetest Thing" make up the list (Even a Tera Patrick porn film is better, at least she is hot to look at (Unlike Cameron or Christina in this movie)). It is so bad, it actually makes the other Columbia Pictures "chick flick " turkey from 2002 ("Maid In Manhattan") look like "Citizen Kane". Simply put, this is a film to avoid like the plague, and as far as "Spoilers" are concerned, this film is a spoiler in and of itself.... It spoiled my meal because it made me sick to my stomach (Particular Ms. Applegate in the Men's Room, which was gross without being funny). I can't even vote to give it ONE star. Instead, from me....ZERO Stars.
