Top Ten...Biggest waste of time in History

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2009)

My Fiancé really wanted to see this movie. I had my doubts but relented due to severe cuteness on her part. I should still have refused. It's terrible. Not the kind of campy terrible where the movie knows its terrible and is having fun with itself. The kind of terrible where you consider the only valid options to be: sleeping, leaving or killing yourself.
It's of the same type as the "Blair Witch Project" only not nearly as well done. Not that Blair Witch was the best movie ever but it had a certain something about it that was truly creepy. This movie failed on every possible point. The characters were basic "Reality TV" types. The guy who was purportedly a highly paid day-trader was a weak shadow of a man. The woman was a standard gold-digging, self-absorbed flake. I spent half the movie wanting the guy(appropriately named Meeko or something) to tell the chick to shut up, stop being such whiney bitch and start doing something useful with her life.
After all the boredom and pain of this movie I could still have been somewhat mollified if there was some kind of marvelous ending or twist or grand payoff. But no such luck. It remained pathetic to the very last second. If there is a saving grace to this crap, it's that it's only 86 minutes long. This would be too short if it was decent but was a blessing in the case of this clunker.
I've learned a lesson here. A bunch of people can get together and write enough reviews on sites to make anything seem like a good movie. I need to learn to read carefully and get the opinion of actual critics from credible sources before I toss my money in the trash like I did with this movie. I'd have been better off flushing $40 down the toilet then smacking myself in the head with a hammer for 90 minutes.
