A showcase of how pathetically and dangerously sad society has gotten

Rating: 1/10 (1 April 2014)

When I first saw previews for this film, I thought it looked fairly decent. From the quick-fire clips it seemed like this would be a funny movie with plenty of serious sides with a good-natured sprinkling of sex appeal (i.e women in skimpy lingerie or even perhaps topless).
Within the first fifteen to thirty minutes of watching it, I came to realize just how incredibly wrong I was. Now, I can appreciate utilizing sex and drugs to make your point in a movie, such as Scorsese did with Good Fellas and Casino, but what he did with this movie was go light years beyond overboard. I don't think it's any kind of an exaggeration to say that 3/4 of this movie is about absolutely nothing other than doing extremely copious amounts of drugs, acting like a bunch of lunatics from an insane asylum, and having sex with anything that possessed the right biology. Oh, and of course, let's not forget the fact that the male leads are completely disrespectful and disgusting to every single woman that enters their lives, including their wives. Someone mentioned in an earlier review that this movie was reminiscent of the ancient Roman orgies, but I honestly think the Romans would have far better decorum than this film. All it seemed to do was showcase the absolute worst kind of sociopaths society has to offer without them being psychopathic serial killers. They even come close to doing that when the lead character decides it's a grand idea to snort a half a ziploc bag full of cocaine, put his four-year-old daughter in the front seat of his car, and go screaming out of the garage in reverse before slamming into a brick light post. Let me just say that thankfully the people who made this film did not depict the little girl being injured despite what looks to be an incredibly painful whiplash. If they had, I would have simply shut the movie off and never watched it again, regardless of how it might have ended.
Let me just say this movie has no redeeming qualities to it. The sheer volume of quite graphic full-frontal nudity, sex, and drug use would probably be enough to make even the raunchiest frat boy look at his buddy and ask, "Is this all there is with this thing?" The fact that this movie received so many accolades, award nominations, and even wins, makes me truly despise how pathetic of a turn our society has made. To glorify this kind of completely insanity, to make heroes out of complete sociopaths and psychopaths, to say that everything they did is just fine because it's entertaining is all the more reason for me to justifiably feel that the way our society currently operates needs to end.
