-50 Shades of Charisma

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2015)

I cannot believe I persevered with this truly dire film, hoping at some point it would redeem itself. No such luck unfortunately, minutes of my life I'll never get back. The leads had zero charisma or chemistry, and with such a poor script I guess it's no surprise, so the writers can shoulder some of the blame.
Really speaking though, while it would have been somewhat predictable casting 'known' more suitable leads, it would have at least made things a tad more bearable. I suppose the dilemma is finding Hollywood 'A-list's', that are willing to gamble their career.
Anyway to sum it up: creepy, icky, awkward, unconvincing, z-movie, lame, wooden, worse than 'Show Girls' (rating-wise; as I thankfully haven't seen that pile of poo), actors & film crew who must've thought OMG have I really involved myself in such an embarrassingly bad project (oh heck at least I'm getting paid loads), Thunderbirds puppets delivered lines more convincingly and had oodles more presence, worse accents than Dick Van Dyke ("Chitty bang-bang, chitty chitty bang-bang!" 😁), unsexy, not a jot of romance, more cringe worthy than watching your folks getting frisky. In a nutshell, the next time someone asks me to watch this, I'll poke them in the eye with a sharp stick as they're certainly no friend of mine.
