Do you have plans to see this film?

If James died and went to hell I guess these would be the movies found at the local multiplex.

Freddy Got Fingered
Bachelorette
Dumb and Dumberer
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
The Pest
Feast
Captivity
The Mangler
Adrenalin: Fear The Rush

There's also Ernest Rides Again and Children Of The Corn 2.

Fixed the list. Thanks!

Hannibal Lecter would applaud with approval.

Probably. But I'm not going to go out of my way to see it. I'm not going to spend to extra money on a train ride to and from center city Philly. That would cost me 11 bucks more than the ticket itself. But if it comes out to my local Regal Cinemas I'll check it out. I think the movie is available to view online so I might check it out that way as well.

It doesn't look very good, although I never would guessed it for a zero star movie either. Based on the trailer, it looks like a 2 star movie. Which would be the same as The Sweetest Thing, actually.

Don't mince words, did you like it or not?

I usually like Isla Fisher and Kirsten Dunst, so making a terrible film with them is an achievement of sorts.

This movie is sitting at a mediocre 62% on Rotten Tomatoes right now, but I agree with both Mr. Berardinelli and Richard Roeper on this one. It is without a doubt one of the worst films of the year. Surprised that he hated it this much, though.

I often divide films into five separate categories: godawful films, bad films, mediocre films, good films, and great films. I rarely designate movies using the second or third descriptors. Usually, I either love a movie or I hate it. "Bachelorette" easily falls into that latter half. What a shame. I, too, review entertainment for a living. The more I watch independent films, the more my disdain for mainstream fare grows. "Bachelorette" forced me to renounce some of my faith in limited releases, which I usually have higher hopes for, even though I understand that they are not always good films.

That being said, this has been a summer of disappointments. "Dark Shadows", "Men in Black III", "Snow White and the Huntsman", "Prometheus", "Rock of Ages", "Brave", "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter", "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World", "People Like Us", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Savages", "The Watch", "Total Recall", "The Bourne Legacy", "The Campaign", "The Expendables 2", "Premium Rush", and "Lawless" all felt flat in my opinion. After first seeing them, I loved both "Prometheus" and "Spider-Man", but when reviewing them, I realized just how little I enjoyed either film, especially "The Amazing Spider-Man", which doesn't fall into the same category of bad comic-book storytelling as "Green Lantern" or "Jonah Hex", but easily belongs to the same group of superhero movies as "Hulk", "Superman Returns", and "Iron Man 2", all of which I hated with a passion, but didn't think deserved to be in the same ranks as the worst motion pictures of the genre.

Well, at least we got "Marvel's The Avengers", "The Dark Knight Rises", a few unexpected surprises, and several indie hits. That's about it. Let the fall movie season begin.

It's been a long time since I've seen a zero-star rating from JB. I remember Freddie Got Fingered, but that was a few years ago. Does anyone remember more recent candidates for infamy?

Most recent one seems to be Captivity.

And also Feast from the same year.

The question for me is: yes, the protagonists may be vile, but are they treated in such a context where the filmmakers acknowledge their amoral behavior? There are plenty of instances in media where we are given unsympathetic or sociopathic lead characters, such as"Seinfeld" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and it's worked to great comedic effect.
