Review:

Tim: Well, this is why I almost never watch direct-to-DVD movies. They are typically awful. If I could take a lesson away from this pitiful movie is that I shouldn't watch movies I know nothing about. I do enough research and reading about movies that I tend to know something about most movies. If I don't, I'll do a little research. I went into this film knowing nothing about it, except that it starred Fred Savage and Amy Adams. I thought to myself, hey, it can't be all that bad. It was worse.

I understand what they were trying to do here. The idea was to take a squeaky clean television actor- Fred Savage- and put him in the most raunchy, sex-fueled film imaginable. The idea was for him to play against type. None of this matters because the whole thing is so awful. The story is about a man dating a beautiful girl who he loves. She breaks up with him, and he becomes horribly depressed, becoming a sex addict in the process. There's much more to the story, but it's all so stupid and pointless. I hated the story immensely. I hated myself for watching this mess.

The biggest question I have is why Amy Adams signed on to this film. I know this was earlier in career- before she hit it big- but her role is fairly pointless, and the movie is just so terrible. I don't know why she's in this film. I'm sure she regrets it, but my god, why choose this one?

There's so many reasons why I hated this movie. There's not a single likable character in the entire film. The movie features gratuitous sex and vulgar dialogue for no reason other than to be controversial. The script was a travesty and the acting was awful. There's just nothing to like about this movie at all. The ending is atrocious as well.

I know I should probably write more about this, but I'm just so tired of thinking about this movie and I've already wasted enough of my life on this. I'm completely done with this awful crap.
