## Plot

Twelve directors, including Peter Farrelly, Griffin Dunne, and Brett Ratner, contributed to this collection of outrageous spoofs and stories. A seemingly perfect man has an unusual blemish on his neck in "The Catch." Superheroes attend a speed-dating event in "Robin's Big Speed Date." Two people on a blind date try to break the ice by playing "Truth or Dare." Other stories include "iBabe," "The Proposition," "Beezel" and "Victory's Glory."

## Why It has 43 Torture Orgies in 1 Entire Movie

1. The movie's title alone makes no sense, and sounds similar to *Action 52*. And it was a result of one of the director's kids talking about an urban legend-sounding made-up movie with the same name, which the director regardlessly "cooked" the movie’s name for the marketers of using.
2. **VERY** unfunny and ridiculous skits. The main problem with the humor is that each skit hinders on only one joke and drags throughout the entire segment, meaning you may get one second of laughter, but a few minutes of boredom.
3. Very bad acting from an all-star cast even from actors like Emma Stone, Hugh Jackmann, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Halle Berry, Gerard Butler, etc. For example; Richard Gere, who plays the boss in the *iBabe* segment, clearly looks bored with the film; what's infuriating is that he actually wanted to get out of the project but was forced to continue.
	* In fact, this is the type of movie that is **SO** bad that even it's actors are ashamed of it. For example: By the time of its release, no one from the cast promoted this movie and as of today, they haven't spoke about it, mentioned it or acknowledge the fact that they were in it.
	* There were even deleted skits starring actors like Julianne Moore, Tony Shalhoub **and the late Anton Yelchin.**
4. Horrendous dialogue, mostly "*Hey, guys! Come check out this kid's weird pubes!*".
5. Blatant and shoved in product placement, such as Taco Bell, Apple, and a mention of *Family Guy* from Halle Berry's character.
6. The humor basically relies on gross-out, sex, and even bestiality jokes.
	* In particular, Beezel and a guy are seen kissing each other.
	* In that same skit starring Beezel, a group of kids ***brutally MAUL Amy to death*** (who's played by Elizabeth Banks, if you're wondering), just because they saw her beating Beezel to a pulp. To make things worse, her boyfriend Anson (played by Josh Duhamel) scolds her for this, and just walks off with Beezel.
	* In one appalling skit titled *"The Catch"*, Hugh Jackman has a ballsack hanging below his neck. This is all played for laughs, and it's not funny ***at all.***
	* The "Truth or Dare" skit is full of these crass jokes, such as the one scene in which Donald (Stephen Merchant's character) gets a realistically grotesque penis tattooed on his face, and another in which Emily (Halle Berry's character) inserts hot sauce into her vagina.
7. Beezel looks horrifying and not cute. He looks more like a Garfield reject and is incredibly perverted and unlikable.
8. The posters are very inappropriate, as the woman in the poster is only in a bikini with the words covered up.
9. It wasted many talented directors and actors by giving them terrible and embarrassing material
10. Terrible score from Christophe Beck, David J. Hodge, Leo Birenberg, Tyler Bates, Miles Moon, and William Goodrum.
11. The trailers are misleading and confusing and they don't really tell you what is this movie about.
12. According to co-director Peter Farrelly, most of the cast members were so embarrassed by the film that they wanted to quit during production; they even tried to include George Clooney and Colin Farrell.
13. The ending is just abysmal.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. It has some funny moments (such as the Black Basketball skit).
2. At least the songs are passable to listen to.
