Review of I Am Dina

I Am Dina (2002)
1/10
Horrible! I'm scarred for life!

Warning: Spoilers
Doesn't contain any spoilers because there really isn't any plot I could possibly spoil! Well, what can I say? This has to be one of the worst, if not THE worst movie I have seen in my entire life, and I happen to go to the cinema a lot. It was one of those rare experiences when I actually wished I had a better cell phone in order to be able to distract myself from the total disaster that was happening on the (unfortunately way too big to ignore) screen (any game would have been better than that sorry excuse for a movie...barbie's dress contest, how to spell for 6 year olds...bring it on!). Alright, you're probably wondering what this film (and I'm using this word very loosely here) is about. Well, to be totally frank with you, that's a pretty damn good question. Let's see, uhm, there's this girl named Dina who hasn't got anything better to do than repeatedly utter the words "I am Dina" every 10 minutes or so in order to distract you from the very fact that there really is no plot at all except for the pretty dumb story of a 6 year old that accidently kills her mother and isn't able to cope with that incident. The following 100 minutes (which actually seem like half a century) are stretched to the very max with inane dialogue, boring talk about how men are the worst thing that ever happened to our precious mother earth and bear the weight of every single mistake known to mankind on their shoulders, sex scenes that wouldn't be half as bad if that actress playing Dina wouldn't be so incredibly ugly and scenes that show Dina herself getting away with one murder after another because she's been hit by her father once when she was young...(Hello? She killed her mother for god's sake...I for one would have made sure she never disgraced the face of this planet again) and therefore had a difficult childhood (you gotta admit that really is a justified reason for manslaughter...yeah right!). Other than that there is no concept behind "I Am Dina" whatsoever. Please, do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at all costs. No really, don't go see it, you'll only encourage them! Think about it this way: Would you pay someone for continuously bashing your skull against a steel plated wall, strapping you to a wheel and subsequently breaking all your bones, one after another? Me neither...and all of this doesn't even come close to the painful experience that is watching I Am Dina!
