Famously Bad

Rating: 1/10 (1 October 2007)

This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. Why? The writing and plot is juvenile and simplistic--big revelations that no-doubt had the screenwriter clapping in self- congratulation will have you rolling your eyes; characters are unbelievable and do unrealistic things; certain "noir" conventions used are so trite they're laughable to watch. It really comes across as being written by a junior in high school, containing all the plot twists and characterizations that a 17-year-old would think were "cool." Unless you want to watch a truly bad movie and make snarky Mystery Science Theater-type comments during it with your friends--which this movie is a great candidate for--avoid it and see something better (which is just about anything), or do something constructive like mowing the lawn.
