Product: The Butcher's Wife [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 2.0
Bad as three-day-old ground chuck...
Five minutes into The Butcher's Wife, my thought was, "The has got to be a vanity project." It feels like Demi Moore's version of Eddie Murphy's Vampire In Brooklyn, a movie were a megastar is attached, everyone lets them do their own thing, and no one wants to tell them, look, this isn't working. The cast does try hard, but the inept script gives them nothing to work with. The DVD quality is mediocre at best. From the opening seconds of the film, the screen is crawling with grain, not made any better by the low video bitrate. Audio is passable, and the only extra is a laughably bad trailer. Fans of Demi Moore -- if there are any left after The Scarlet Letter or G.I. Jane -- may want to add this to their collection, but the other 6,185,348,023 of you in the world will want to give it a pass.
