Awful, Just Awful

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2003)

Probably one of the most contrived things I've ever seen. Far too long, far too violent, and with a plot twist none of the poltroons who love this crud will see coming. Even the usually squeaky-clean Helena Bonham Carter looks horrid, hanging out with these dirty boys. Practically everyone I know loves this film, and all I can do is wonder why. I wanted to love this movie, but for the last 45 minutes or so, all I kept saying to myself was "Somebody please roll the credits!" By the time the film was over I didn't care how it ended, as long as it was over. I find it difficult to believe that this movie only got an R rating.
