Title: Igby Is Bad!
Review: The only redeeming feature of this "Comedy" is the pinpoint-perfect performance of the Waspy, preppy-bro, Ryan Phillippe. I suppose I thought this character capable of intelligent thought, but unfortunately, the script makes him do two so unfunny things, I can't reveal the horror without blowing the script.Look, I know everyone thinks Freud was wrong about homosexuality's derivation related to weak fathers and strong Ethel Merman like mothers, but this film is set up in such a way that I am convinced that the two brothers could not possibly be straight. I think that is a defect in the plot. Sexually they are normal, having sex with two beautiful girls, but, nahhh, I don't believe it from all the perversion of their world; why would they be straight?Black comedies are by definition laughs from unexpected sources, but we at least have to like the characters in a film to care about their problems. By the end of this film, I wanted Igby to do drugs and die.
Is the review positive or negative?
