Too Raunchy and a Bad Script

Rating: 2/10 (11 November 2009)

Abby (Heigl) is forced to increase ratings of the TV show she produces by allowing Mike (Butler) to show the women in the TV audience what men really want from women.
After 10-minutes, I shut this down. Too embarrassing to watch. Nothing funny, no good lines. The only thing it had going for it was watching Katherine Heigl. Then I tried again the next day hoping it got better, but shut it down again after an additional 10-minutes. Simply really bad and crude dialogue mostly by Mike (Butler) who was a non-stop Raunch Machine. Even the beautiful and talented Heigl fell into the trap and mouthed a few unfunny more-than-risqué lines. Enough was enough.
So now the DVD sits waiting to go back to Red Box where no one should ever take it out. Will the movie save itself? Probably, but I will never know after experiencing the first 20-minutes head start of garbage it produced. Yes, I know a lot of people like the dirty talk, especially hormonal 7th and 8th graders. But, they, too, grow up at some point. Let's hope. Sometimes the risqué has it's place and is funny, but not in here.
When I found out that three women actually sat down and wrote this, I kind of understood why all the raunch. Apparently, good lines, and comedy take a back seat to x-rated dialogue. Perhaps they felt they had to prove something. Oh, wait a minute, they thought they were writing funny stuff. HA!
I did laugh at one thing. Abby's cat poking his head into the goldfish bowl trying to get at the goldfish.
A magic show is mostly successful because we do not know how the illusions were done. We are not shown what made the trick work. In this movie all nuts and bolts were shown to us and there was no magic.
I like Katherine Heigl and I hope in the future she takes more time in deciding what scripts to indulge in.
Maybe I should try it again, this time without sound. Hmmmmm.
Violence: Not sure, didn't watch it all the way to the end, but I doubt it. Sex: No. I think they let the raunchy dialogue speak for itself. Nudity: No, ditto. Raunchy Language: Non-stop. Language, other: Yes.
