I wonder where the 0 out of 10 button is...

Rating: 1/10 (19 May 2008)

So my friend and her boyfriend rent this movie...they invite my boyfriend and I over to the apartment to watch it. None of us knew what to really expect, so we sat down with our bowls of popcorn and waited to be entertained.
Out of 4 people, 0 of them were entertained in the least by this ridiculously vile piece of tripe.
The plot isn't too unbelievable: a pretty, successful woman imbibes a bit too much at a bar and takes home what she sees as a charming, sexy fellow. They have sex. She gets pregnant. Despite the fact that 'Ben' is a jobless, drug-addicted slob of a man, she still wants to keep the baby and raise it with it's father. That doesn't sound to bad right? Wrong.
The plot, while predictable, had the potential to be rather sweet and funny. However, it was so bogged down with disgusting dialogue and awkward scenes, I lost all empathy for the characters and plot. The script was offensive in every way, to every type of person. The man/woman stereotypes were completely over the top: Seriously, does the director think that every woman is a Molotov cocktail of conflicting emotions? Is it THAT necessary to say 'fuck' every other word? Vagina jokes? Stabs at other races/religions? Are we adolescent children just learning about sex who giggle every time someone says fart and penis? Apparently so! They might love this movie!
The acting was very good, when it wasn't oozing with said foulness. Sadly, the decent acting took up perhaps...20 minutes of the film. Perhaps the most awkward, poorly done scenes were the sex scenes between pregnant Allison and Ben. It just dragged on, and on, and on, due to Ben's reluctance to smack the baby in the face during sex, which he commented on ENTIRELY too much.
No...I take it back. The MOST awkward moment? The birthing scene, the camera panning between Allison's legs to show a baby starting to pop out. Who in the HELL wants to see a woman giving birth?
I found myself coving my face in embarrassment during most of this movie...I felt to uncomfortable to even look at my boyfriend. Save yourself from this drivel! Don't watch it!!!
