THIS film ended Amanda Bynes career! What is UP with Hollywood!???

Rating: 2/10 (20 January 2015)

UGH! My blood was boiling... from beginning to end. Now, I like Emma Stone - she's smart, she's cool, she's likable, she's funny, and I think she's even got the strength to carry a film ALL by herself! And I think "The Help" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" films are the best ones she's in. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't like "Superbad" for igniting her film career. ...But I HATE it when she gets stuck in a stupid, worthless steaming pile of Hollywood trash! Such as this - having to say all these things, having to DO all these things.
WHERE do I begin???????????
This is not worse of than most films, but this goes from stupid to DISGUSTINGLY INSULTING!
To recap a bit, this movie was on my "to watch" list for quite a while; I thought at first it seemed like an interesting film about "better student training" or about a "big test" or "spelling bee contest" coming up (hence the grade "A" reference.)
But NO! NOT AT ALL, ironically.
Talk about disappointing. Literally, 5 minutes in, I already started to hate it! I did not laugh ONCE! I was shaking my head & rolling my eyes with disgust. I couldn't WAIT for this movie to end - I couldn't even THINK straight while it was playing. Because it takes these rather classic Hollywood attempts of FAILED advantages of pure bias, lame-stream political-correctness, and liberal agendas on our brains. The Christian Bible-thumping hypocrites who are "abnormal" and everyone else is "normal", and the misunderstood gays, who're your enemies, who're your friends, eavesdropping, rumor-spreading, deceiving others, blasphemy, underage drinking, cursing, sex, swearing, alcoholism, etc... Trust me, EVERY one of those are misunderstood in real-life.
I guess the "Christians" we're decided to be the antagonists, because I guess the writers couldn't come up with a better villain; besides that, they are not even written well. All one- dimensional, stereotypical, and dumbfounding, it's all cringe-worthy, rather than funny. I guess it's just the thing nowadays who you can make fun of: Christians and southerners
Perhaps what saddens me most about this film is that when Olive goes looking for honest, Christian answers about sex, she can't find any. And so she settles for our culture's dangerously self-righteous take on this immensely important subject: It's my business and nobody else's.
If this movie was supposed to "appeal" to the types of people who think these inaccurate things, I suggest they go see some psychiatrist, or I even recommend one of my teachers, Kent Hovind, as a great guy to check out on his Science seminars! (Seriously go search him up - he's worth it.)
And WHO, in their right mind, would ever want to "lie" about sleeping around with people?????
Hey, I myself am a Christian, and I wish to eventually get a career of acting in Hollywood because I do believe some great example & lights are necessary to be shown in that corrupted system of darkness. I love gay people, but I believe homosexuality is a sin - because it's a violation of design. People are never "born" gay - it's all based on experience. (but that's another long story). Just love the sinner, hate the sin.
And I hate how they turned Amanda Bynes, a funny, talented, lovely Jewish actress, one of my favorite actresses (from "Big Fat Liar & "Robots") into a "stupid, air-headed, mean, annoying, judging, finger-pointing Christian", putting blasphemous, un-Christ-like, unbiblical things in her mouth & personality, which I think seems quite hypocritical of this film being a "hate speech" film, and as well being a mean, annoying, judging, and finger-pointing FILM! I find it really pitiful that Amanda Bynes is "most known" for this film on IMDb - trust me, she's been in better movies.)
And I bet it's THIS film that sort of ENDED her film career, giving her a "bad reputation", and hardly appears in any more films and for getting in trouble with the police & having her mugshots taken.
Fantastic! Well-done, Will Gluck, for ruining a young actress' career.
(Hey, you want a film that portrays real TRUE Christians, being one myself, my strong recommendation is watch "The Encounter", "To Save a Life", or "Facing the Giants".) Those are some films that are SO MUCH much more accurate, meaningful, and truthful in their messages. lot In actuality, in an ideal good-will movie,, we'd be the good guy protagonist, or the stalwart sidekick of the main character. I'm honest. Trust me, in real-life, it's the CHRISTIANS who feel they're getting picked on, or mocked, or being mistreated. Go figure! (The creators of "God's Not Dead" understood that! And THAT's even a film that's misunderstood.)
And bringing Malcolm McDowell into the movie???? WHOA. That's quite risky business of wanting to likely draw attention to his most well-known film "A Clockwork Orange", literally one of the most awful, confusing, and corrupt flicks out there.
Even bringing in Stanley Tucci and Thomas Haden Church into this circus show! Stanley Tucci was better in "The Terminal" and even the 4th "Transformers" film! (Yes, I went there) And Church was even better in "Heaven Is For Real" - that's also another film based on reality that I recommend).
Literally one of the worst films I think ever made, and I'm GLAD I never watched it earlier, or ever saw it in a theater!
But to be fair, Church, Stone, and Tucci are the best parts in this mess.
As Amanda Bynes puts it, "This is so stupid."
My final grade I put on this film is a "D -", just 1 steps way from an "F".
3/10
PS: imo, Emma Stone looks better with blond hair. That's not a joke.
