Embarrassing

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2013)

An atrocious movie that basically surgically removes the dignity of every actor in it. Owen and Vaughn play a pair of self-absorbed idiots who crash weddings to pick up desperate women. Until Owen's character falls for Rachel McAdams' character at a big time society wedding. Invited back to the upmarket home of Secretary Cleary (as played by Christopher Walken who really should know a lot better). Jane Seymour crashes and burns as Walken's nymphomaniac wife. The story is by turns ridiculous and desperate, the jokes old and stale or non-existent, everyone is crazy, and it's all so manic you give up trying to work out what's going on after about fifteen minutes. I can take zany comedy, make it as screwball as you like, great, just love it. But this? Oh my god. The big sting in the tail is that everyone in the film is totally dishonest, about everything. Horrible, not funny, just creepy and unpleasant.
