A Study in Wretched Excess

Rating: 3/10 (10 September 1998)

Unless you understand wretched excess this movie won't really mean much to you. An attempt was made to interject a bit of humanity into a cold and bleak period consumed by alcohol and drugs -- it doesn't work.
When Salma Hayak does her big disco number her voice is so obviously dubbed it is pathetic -- the producers could at least have gotten someone that sounded remotely like her.
The documentary that has been playing on television lately is far superior and gives a much truer view of that period of our history.
No one, with the exception of Mikey Myers, could be accused of acting; however, he does an incredible job.
