Negative Positive
Title: Stupid, trite, insulting, badly acted and unconvincing
Review: A friend whose likes I usually disagree with thought this the worst movie he had ever seen. So, I investigated, and found these favorable reviews here. Rented, gave it a shot. And I did disagree. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen. Probably not among the top five. But it is a world class stinker.There is nothing that would make me suggest anyone watch this. It is clumsy, silly, and tedious. Brendan Fraser is supposed to be wooden--casting coup--but he is more than that, he is patently ridiculous. Absurdity piles up on ludicrousness until the ending, where you just say "What the ****?"The Reflecting Skin was not a great film, but was almost interesting. This is just one where you have to wonder about the director. When it was done, and he viewed the final cut, did he say "Yep, that's exactly what I had in mind"? One hopes not!
Is the review positive or negative?
