Possibly the Worst Movie Ever Made

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2000)

As a disclaimer, I thought the book was one of the worst ever published.
That said, the book is better than the movie. This movie is suppose to be a satire about the excess and greed of the eighties. You get the idea from the opening monologue, and then you get hit over the head with it for the next 120 minutes with the subtlety of Christian Bale's chainsaw. If only "Satire" could sue for defamation.
Smug, lame, and lacking any wit probably best describes the humor of this picture. The film makers obviously watched some Neil Labute films but the result is much closer to a Leslie Nielson film. In fact, the average Naked Gun sequel has more relevant social commentary.
Plot lines and characters simply disappear without any explanation (maybe Willam Defoe will have his lunch with Patrick Bateman on the DVD version). "Wayward" would describe the direction of this movie. The acting is horrible.
As I watched this movie, I was literally distracted over and over again by the voice in my head that kept saying, "no one could make a movie this bad, it has to get better." It was the same sort of uncomfortable feeling you have after eating some bad food and realizing the inevitable, that short of a miracle, nothing is going to stop a violent vile eruption. This movie delivered the inevitable.
