As bad as it gets.

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2006)

This movie made my bowels itch! what the hell is all the fuss about? It's a TV movie, and not a very good one at that. The script was absolutely terrible, the drama was laughable and the tension was yawn inducing. Never has an Oscar winner sucked so badly on so many levels.
The characters were straight out of a comic strip, the acting was as far from reality as any popular soap opera, and the message was so overused and so 'in your face' that it lost all meaning by about a quarter of the way through.
Had this movie been released straight to video I wouldn't have been surprised, but what did surprise me is that a dumbed-down, blatant ham-fest like this could ever win an Oscar.
If you haven't seen it - don't. Go and rent American History X, Do the right thing or even Guess who's coming to dinner, I promise you, you'll come away happier having watched any of these movies a second or third time than you will after watching Crash just once.
