Utter Crap

Rating: 1/10 (19 May 2009)

This is absolutely one of the worst movies ever made. Terrible. Ridiculous plot, stupid "twists," bad acting, Howard's directing is contrived and banal, with hokey dialogue. Since the source material is just stupid and vapid, what do you expect? Those seeking escapist fare look for something else, anything else, this makes "17 Again" look like "Gone with the Wind." This movie fails on every level, with the pacing kept at a manic pace so that you don't have time to think about the laughable plot. A movie should be true to the world it is in; this movie is not. Only the streets of Rome give any interest and some nice Bernini sculpture takes your eyes away from this tripe bag of garbage. What a waste of money and talent. Of course it will take in some $, but don't be fooled, this movie will make you howl in disbelief.
