The Ugliness of Beautiful People

Rating: 1/10 (7 June 2010)

The only reason I didn't walk out of this movie was that I saw it on a plane. A truly terrible film, there is no on screen chemistry between these actors no matter how often they did the nasty between takes. Not only is there no chemistry, in the entire running time they fail to give any reason why any person would like either star.
This movie isn't funny, so it can't be a comedy. Yet it is not in any plausible or possible, so it can't be a thriller or drama, either.
No, this is the sort of filmaking at which Hollywood succeeds, big budget, bankable stars, and sex/violence aimed at 14 year old boys, and containing not a wit of originality or interest. The kind of movie that has a decent opening weekend, and due to the star power and violence sells well overseas and in home-video markets.
Yet it remains a big, stinking turd, despite the gloss.
