Gutterballs (2008)
5/10
I made it through the whole thing.

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this purely based on the score this film got here. Every time I do that it seems I end up sorry. But, this time I'm at odds with myself. The reason this got a five from me and the ONLY reason was the outrageous factor the film had. All the comments based on that are not exaggerated. It was definitely over the top. If you think you might wanna watch this film, make sure you are doing so for the gore/shock factor alone. Do not watch this if you can't handle bad acting. I barely got through it because of that, but I'll admit...the gore kept me going. Never in my life have I seen a film that I wanted everyone to die in so badly, and I do mean EVERYONE. I don't think I've ever hated a whole cast like I have in this my entire life. It's undeniable that there are some very cool things that happen in this movie, although admitting that about myself is kind of disturbing.

Things to hate:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

1. Steve.....If I were on the set I'd have killed him myself.

2. The film didn't know what decade it was in. I think it was trying for late 80's considering the dress (the whole punks vs. preps thing) but the technology didn't fit, i.e. electronic scoreboard (they used projectors back then), siliconed teen (think they waited a little longer to get that procedure), and the only cell phone back then was the 10 pound Zack Morris job.

3. The acting.....The reactions these people had with what was happening to them was ludicrous.

4. The dialog.....If you cut the unnecessary f-bombs out of this film you may be left with 4 complete sentences. The fact that this disturbs ME (got a hum-dinger of a doo-doo mouth myself sometimes) says a lot.

.............................and finally..............................

5. Someone survived.
