As Bad as It Gets

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2006)

Since I saw this for free (borrowed DVD) I shouldn't gripe. But this was a pathetic a piece of "entertainment" as I could imagine.
When I was looking at the listing on the IMDb I found what went wrong. The screenplay went through over 50 drafts and a mob of screenwriters. Under better circumstances the project would have been put out of its misery and a new project found.
Doug Liman used to be a director. Watch GO! if you don't believe me. But with THE BOURNE IDENTITY and this he's gone to the dark side of the force. Now he's making assembley line prefabs. Sad.
There was one surprise in the movie. Seeing Vince Vaughn working in a piece of crap like this. Shame on you, Vince. You should know better. Brad and Angelina are self absorbed creatures of publicity who together have (almost) the intelligence of a clam. Vince is way too smart for this.
