The worst movie ever made

Rating: 1/10 (25 June 2006)

I love most films but this sucked. It spent so long pumping the audience full of poorly-scripted sentiment it forgot it was meant to be a comedy and left out any jokes. I think it is a dreadful movie, the little boy striking me as particularly trite. I think Richard Curtis just said, "Let's have a really sweet little boy who finds the love of his life and makes everyone go 'aaah'." "But will it have any jokes Richard?" "No! People will think it's funny because I co-wrote Blackadder. Oh alright, I'll recycle some humour from Notting Hill, no-one hated that film!" For more touching, charming and funny films I would recommend the following: Se7en, Carrie, Braveheart, The Dirty Dozen, The Silence of the Lambs.
I think deep-frying my own skin would be a more effective source of joy than this dismal piece of garbage. The only tears I cried were for Alan Rickman's dignity, and his magnificent descent from Die Hard. When did people decide that comedies should be more about plot and characters than about being funny (When Harry Met Sally... proved both are possible- in my opinion unquestionably the greatest rom-com of all time). Which is more enjoyable: Love Actually or Police Academy? I think the latter, because it is simply trying to make people laugh, unlike this steaming crapola, which was trying to do god knows what. P.S. Coldplay suck.
