Bug: The Prequel or A BJ Fixes Everything?
10 October 2007
This film has some moving moments that are touching in regards to a man losing his family in the 911 attacks. That said in dealing with such a important topic the filmmakers should have made sure they treated it with dignity.

Instead we get a film were a very unstable man(Charlie) is left to wonder the street until the inevitable day that he snaps. Then when he does and you think "Thank God, he'll be taken off the street and get the help he needs", he is instead casually thrown out on his own yet again.

Then His friend and his shrink who have been "helping" him do so in the end by playing matchmaker and hooking him up with a obviously unstable women who earlier in the film was obsessed to the point of insanity with giving Charlie's friend a BJ.

As anyone seen Bug? Charlies new apartment in which He and the women have been left to their own devices, is going to end up covered in foil, scattered with bug zappers.

That or the moral of the story is that a BJ fixes everything.

For dealing with such powerful themes and having some truly moving moments, it is way to irresponsible a film IMHO.
