Despite a talented cast this movie absolutely STINKS!

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2005)

Predictable, forced, crass, long, boring, stupid, silly, tasteless are just a few of the adjective that come to mind for this piece of dreck. It is pathetic to see the waste of talent on and behind the screen. The director and screen scribblers should be nailed to Mel Gibson's cross and dragged through Hollywood for everyone to spit on and jeer at them. Meet the Parents was mediocre. This is a worse offense because of the gross abuse and waste of money and talent. Movies such as this should be fined a fortune to fund independent films. This is a study in how unoriginality, predictability and clichés sabotage extraordinary talent, especially at the hands of a hack director. Sometimes a cast can salvage terrible material and direction. This cast sinks faster than the passengers on the Titanic.
