not as bad as everyone says

First off most people will probally want to rent this first, Because it's not something everyone like despite the huge esemble cast. The movie is pretty funny largly in the last half with Andie Mcdowell and Charslton Heston Yes I said Chalston Heston. The Movie came and went quickly in theatres and I had decided I would Purchase on dvd. I don't regert buting this movie but a lot of people probbally wont like enough to own. One more thing The dvd is bare bones and includes only the trailer and cast and crew biogrpies and the option to watch it in wide or full on a one sided disc which i liked, I hate flipper dvds like terminator and goodfellas.Why did they not atleat put a featurette and some delted scenes on the disc.

Thin Plot But Lots Of Laughs Along The Way!

The American public really OVER does things sometimes. I've heard people say this is the worst movie of all time, and that it's the worst film of the year. I don't understand how and why someone would say that. Yes, I'm rating this movie 2 stars. And yes I didn't like it. But there appears to be two sides to this movie. Side 1- OK, yes it gets a bit confusing and yes the acting isn't great which is a suprise due to this cast. But, hey, it's funny. Go see this movie because you will laugh. Side 2- It's dumb! It has bad acting and isn't funny. It's also the worst movie of the year and the worst movie ever made. Here are my thoughts on the film. It has a very thin plot. There are moments in this film where we have scenes in this movie that make no sense. I mean, it doesn't movie the story along. I didn't get the purpose of certain scenes. For example, there's a scene where Porter Stoddard (Warren Beatty) walks into his kitchen in the middle of the night and soon his son,his daughter's boyfriend and his maid's boyfriend all find themselves in the kitchen too. What's the point? I guess the director, Peter Chelsom thought to himself, well, people might think this is a funny scene. Maybe we'll get some laughs out of this, lets keep it in. Bad idea Peter! We've all heard the on the set stories about this movie. About, how long it took to make, about the 90 million dollar budget, and about the script changes. So with that in mind it should come as no suprise to anyone when I say the movies doesn't seem complete. It moves briskly but things don't add up. The story isn't solid. We're going from scene to scene and the ONLY purpose of the scenes is the punchline at the end. Everything in the begining is setup for the joke at the end. And after they make they're joke the scene is cut to a new scene that has the same agenda. The story as we all know is about Warren Beatty (Porter Stoddard)and his wife Diane Keaton (Ellie Stoddard) who seem to have a good marriage. Unlike there best friends Mona (Goldie Hawn) and Griffin (Garry Shandling). Griffin has been cheating on his wife, but, not with a woman! Soon, they get a divorce. Now while this is going on, Porter (Beatty) for reasons unbeknown to me starts to cheat on his wife! But, it happens so fast! They didn't lead up to it, which I didn't like. There is also an amazing waste of talent here. Andie MacDowell plays Eugenie Claybourne, one of the women Porter was with. But her part is so bland, and she barely has any screentime. Why put a famous actress in such a small role? The answer- so people will go see the movie. The same is true with Jenna Elfin (Auburn). Now, I'm not really a fan of her's but she is given an even smaller role than MacDowell! And Nastassja Kinski (Alex) has 3 scenes! And oh my God does she look old! lol. I guess I never realized how old she is. She looks awful now lol. But, while I have all these faults with the movie, it is funny. I couldn't stop laughing at a bedroom scene with Beatty and MacDowell. And the scene where Beatty meets MacDowell's parents played by Charlton Heston and Marian Seldes. There were about 3 other scenes that I felt really worked and the rest of the movie is either smile material or just a failed attempt. It's NOT the worst movie of the year and it's NOT the worst movie of all time. If people are looking for a movie that's funny but not well made, it really wouldn't hurt to go see this movie, it's not a great comedy but it tries to be. ** 1\2 out of *****
