Nice try, asshole

Directed by: Alan Cumming, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Starring: Alan Cumming, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Parker Posey, Phoebe Cates, Kevin Kline

It's really hard to see people I like (John C. Reilly, Jane Adams, Parker Posey) involved in this dreck. Self-indulgent garbage. Painful to watch. People acting like spoiled obnoxious idiots for 2 hours is neither entertaining nor interesting. I admit that I don't know any celebrities, I've never been to a celebrity gathering. But there's no way you would give Ecstacy to a couple that you've NEVER MET BEFORE for their anniversary. And everyone there is just like "Oh cool! Let's take it now!" I call Bullshit. Every character was utterly detestable. And maybe that was the point, and maybe not. But if I don't care about the characters, then I sure don't want to watch their stupid lives. One gets the feeling that Cumming and Leigh meant this to be a scathing commentary on people they know, but I bet there's more of themselves in this than they're willing to admit. This movie also further intensified my hatred for Alan Cumming.

RATING: 0.5

PROS: not bad from a technical standpoint
CONS: alternately boring and annoying, like a Creed album
