Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): " very bad things , " is the most delightfully morbid film of the year , a movie that goes so far over the deep end with its outrageousness and violence that i could n't help but be won over by the material .
the film starts off with five friends leaving their homes in los angeles for a bachelor party in las vegas .
the groom - to - be is kyle fisher ( jon favreau ) , who is about to be married to the controlling , wedding - obsessed laura ( cameron diaz ) .
the other friends are real estate agent robert boyd ( christian slater ) , quiet charles ( leland orser ) , and brothers , michael ( jeremy piven ) and family man adam ( daniel stern ) .
after a wild night of gambling , boozing , and drugs , a stripper ( carla scott ) who was paid for by robert comes into their hotel room , but after a freak accident , to everyone 's terror , she is killed .
as robert puts it : " there are two options : go to the police and go to prison , or bury her out in the desert where no one will ever find her .
" after a security guard enters into the hotel room unexpectantly and sees the body , robert is forced to kill him as well .
"
okay , there is only one option now .
you can forget about calling the police , " he says .
by the time the five friends return home and as the wedding draws nearer , most of them are overcome with guilt , which sets off an even more elaborate series of event , that includes much , much more murder , double - crosses , and the inevitable wedding from hell .
" very bad things , " which is actor peter berg 's feature film directing debut , is the shockingly perverse and wicked comedy that , " there 's something about mary , " wanted to be .
it pulls out all the stops to create something fresh , original , and hilarious , even if that requires surprisingly graphic violence , gore , and a slew of truly hateful characters that all get what they deserve by the end .
the screenplay , also written by berg , is , to put it mildly , very funny and courageous .
during the second act of the film , some of the fun was beginning to slightly dwindle due to so much death , which was beginning to undermine the humor , but it eventually recouped itself with a climax that has to be seen to be believed .
the dialogue is edgy and inventive , and this film proves that a movie does n't necessarily require likable character to be extremely enjoyable .
there 's more fun , i think , in showing ignorable people getting their just desserts .
cameron diaz gives her best performance to date here , and has a lot of fun in playing the hateful laura , who eventually turns out to be more crazy than any of the five male friends .
diaz puts so much overblown energy to her character that i really do think she deserves a supporting actress oscar nomination
come next january .
by the time she is beating someone to death with a coat hanger , and reciting lines like , " stuff him in the crapper and get your ass upstairs , " i could n't help but crack up at how " balls - to - the - wall " this film had become .
jeanne tripplehorn creates another character original , as daniel stern 's wife , who late in the picture , we discover , is a tough kick - boxer that should not be messed around with .
it is at this level that , " very bad things , " was so entertaining and surprising .
just when you thought you could predict what was going to happen , there would be a little twist involving the characters that would be absolutely wacky .
the last sequence was perfect and managed to go even further over - the - top .
although i enjoyed the film immensely , let me make this clear : " very bad things , " is not a movie for everyone .
it is more tasteless than anything i have ever seen , it is more violent and bloody than a r - rated film usually is , and it is offensive .
luckily , these are elements that i would prefer in a comedy , since it clearly shows the filmmakers were set on making a no - holds - barred , politically incorrect comedy .
the fact that this film slipped through the cracks of the usually mainstream and " safe " wide - releases coming out lately , still gives me hope for the hollywood film industry .
