I can only remember on other film that I have loathed more than this one, and that was the 1980's turkey 'Xanadu' featuring Olivia Newton-John. That is the only movie I have walked out of the Movie Theatre while there still was a good 30 minutes left of the film. Fortunately/unfortunately (take your pick) this film I rented at my local Video store when they offered three films for the price of two, otherwise I would forever be walking around with bruises on my legs from kicking myself for wasting money on something so hurtful and insulting to my intelligence and to my gender.
Okay, I have seen other films that have been bad, but I usually am able to find one or two redeeming facts about them that make me think that I have not totally wasted my time watching... If nothing else, I have at least been able to laugh at how bad they have been, but with this piece of trash, I cannot find a single positive thing to justify just throwing away a couple of hours of my life.
Sandra Bullock is no great actress, and the motive for watching a film featuring her have for me always been to see Sandra playing... eh... Sandra. Sandra is a beautiful woman that usually are able to give us, the audience, a few cute moments as she pulls her face and using her mimic to make us go, "aww" and "ohh". Sadly, she appears to have become a Botox addict as so many of her fellow Hollywood actresses, and throughout this film, all you get from her is bad acting and a stiff Barbie face with way too much make-up applied. On top of that, she plays an utterly obnoxious and unlikeable clone of Gracie Heart from the first 'Miss Congeniality' film, and I constantly find myself having to fight off the urge to throttle the character along with the director and the writers.
I really could rant on for quite a while about everything that is wrong and plainly insulting with this film, but I think I have already wasted enough precious time of my life on this rubbish. Therefore, I will not bother to mention the lack of plot, the total deficient of character development, the fact that this is a comedy that does not offer a single laugh, that this film has some of the worst casting in the history of films, and that this is a total turkey... No correction, this film gives turkeys a bad name.
I have learned my lesson the hard way, and after today, the name Sandra Bullock will never lure me into renting a video or trick me to walk into a Movie Theatre ever again.
If you are masochistically inclined, and the prospect of cringing for a couple of hours gives you a kick, then this is the film for you. If not, stay as far away from this as you possibly can.
Sandra, you owe me 115 minutes of my life back. Now, hand me the Lysol so I can rinse my eyes!
