The Dinner Party (2009)
Most anti-climactic film Iv'e ever seen, it's impossible to spoil because nothing happens
This movie description was very misleading, from the cover with the gun (there are no guns in this film- they are illegal in Australia so it was a flat out lie) and from the blurb. It's got NOTHING to do with "angela" wanting to kill her guests, she only wants to commit suicide with her ex boyfriend. For some stupid reason, her ex brings his new girlfriend with him to parade in front of his mentally unstable drug addicted (he knows this) ex girlfriend. He is stupid enough to do this AND drag his new girlfriend along, which is painful to watch. Yet, despite this potential "conflict"- no confrontations even happen! Why he is even at his exes house is anyones guess- so my ability to find any of this plausible was going downhill fast. To make it worse, and remove all tension- the people KNEW what she was planning, its just that no one wanted to warn the guy and avoided "getting involved" and simply left after dinner, which was infuriating to watch and did nothing to help the plot. Anti climax all the way. It was an immature film about immature and unlikeable characters.
I noticed the DVD cover also includes a picture of a man with a gun, having shot himself. Why? In Australia, guns are ILLEGAL. Don't expect any guns (or any kind of violence at all) It's just a cheap way to try and make this film look exciting, or even thrilling and action orientated. It's not. At all. There is not even a fight or a struggle. I was disappointed in how boring it all was.
The acting was terrible, the flow was terrible, lighting, sound- all sucked. Oh and after all this drama and planning to "end paul's life" by drugging him (horror? Um no, not even any blood) angela decides she made a mistake and starts crying. Whoops! Not exactly a "menacing villain" just an idiot- what did she expect? What a pathetic character.. mind you, her ex wasn't much better. Everyone in this movie was stupid and useless, not driving the plot forward AT ALL and it was the most boring dinner party ever, even during the actual dinner. No arguments, no tension- nothing. I don't know why people would even go to Angela's- none of the characters had any back story, absolutely no chemistry with each other or conflict, and they hardly even knew each other- so it was all small talk. All potential was completely wasted. I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing interesting ever did. Angela is not threatening at all, to call this movie a "thriller" is a long shot. They don't even use cheap thrills. There is no tension or shocking moments, I can't express that enough.
No twists either, so don't expect some big reveal- there is none, its as shallow as you can imagine, and you know the entire plot before the film begins. You learn nothing of anyone, and they are just as one dimensional at the end as when the film began.
Friends (1994)
Stereotype city! A Dumber, Sentimental version of Seinfeld. Show for Kids, and Morons.
This show is very easy to grasp- I remember being 10/11 years old on a plane to England from Australia, and laughing at Joey acting (whilst acting) in a Hospital bed. I thought Friends, especially Joey, were SO funny.
at the age of 17 and beyond, now 23, Friends became increasingly predictable and dull whenever I see it, and its formulaic plot. All the characters are stereotypes, who in reality wouldn't get on at all- well, I don't buy Pheobe as a friend of the girls- why would someone so laid back prefer to hang with materialistic anxiety ridden work-obsessed, over other like minded "boho" people? Each episode falls ass backwards into the old jokes- and only dumb people, or children, will miss this (they are the audience for the show, just look at education statistics in the USA, and it will be explained why this show is so popular there)!
Pheobe singing on her guitar with stupid lyrics and a simple melody "littlestar, hello there, furry and kittens love your blonde hair" or something stupidly simple.
Ross and Rachel playing hard to get, whining.
Joey making an "italian joke" by talking about food, eating lots of food, saying "I'm an Italian so I eat lots of food." Cue the Laugh Track.
Chandler and Monica being anxious and acting more like Brother and Sister than lovers.
Jennifer Aniston wearing fake nipples under white jumpers- again and again. WHY would she be made to wear "see through tops" with those plastic nipples? Isn't that KIND of distracting and inappropriate? Even Seinfeld make jokes about women who do that! Same with sex and the city! Really, it was pathetic, and made me disrespect Aniston more for just being a bimbo- on TV, and off. She can't act, so they had to make you forget that fact.
Joey being a "Male Bimbo/Mimbo (Seinfeld word)" and doing a silly acting job.
This show is outdated, sentimental mix of soap opera and a sit com, as oppose to Seinfeld and curb your enthusiasm, which are strictly sitcoms, and had a No Hugging policy- they also didn't care about making the Seinfeld characters look "sexy", just funny! Where-as on Friends, the actresses would have hair dressers on call between takes to brush their hair perfectly before the cameras were allowed to role. While Pheobe and Monica were quite comedic, Jennifer Aniston, the vainest woman on the planet, cared more about being pretty than being funny.
If you want love stories and drama with comedy- watch sex and the city- its insightful and far more intelligent than friends (besides the product placement, its fantastic). If you want pure laughs that never date, characters to relate to, and a show that makes you feel happy about your life in a Ce La Vie fashion, watch Seinfeld.
Wedding Daze (2004)
You laugh AT it. Not with. Ultra Conservative, Ultra Stereotypical and Christian-Friendly. Intelligent people, be warned.
Now this movie gets a three because I like the main character (the dad) who also plays a major role on Boston Legal, so he's like-able. The movie was enjoyable on the basis of how lame it actually was. So I found myself laughing in the sentimental parts. It's very safe, and very conservative. I came across this movie on TV, and watched it because it was pathetic basically.
The plot is that the dad's first daughter gets engaged. Then the second. He stresses out because they want to be married on the same day. Then, you guessed it, the THIRD. Mummy and Daddy walk in on daughter kissing tubby boyfriend, and they announce their love and the dad faints.
Why they need to wed within weeks at the age of 18, I don't get. It's very old fashioned and idealistic. In reality their lives would be very boring. Basically it's dull and the puns are predictive and unoriginal. Would of been OK in the 1940's, but not today. If you are Amish, you will like it. If you are intelligent at all, you won't.
