Very Bad Things

Rating:
Summary: It made me laugh so hard in a very bad way.
Review: This movie was so crazy and psycho that I couldn't believe I laughed so hard during it. It's definitely not for everyone though, only those with blacker than hell sense of humor can fully appreciate this movie. Thank you.

Summary: Reprehensible, irresponsible poorly concieved snuff-comedy
Review: Everybody involved with this rancid nightmare should be ashamed of themselves. Especially the lame-o stars who took to the TV circuit to say 'It's okay to laugh at this movie' in response to the near unilateral disgust experienced by early audiences. As if it's wacky and funny that five coked-up honkies impale a chinese hooker then stab a black hotel security guard while holding lame, uninteresting discussions about the morality of it all. Cameron Diaz's phone-in role is on screen for all of 3 minutes. A monument to the decline of film company respect for the audience. Why do you think so many of the ads showed only big pink lettering? Because there's nothing worth seeing. Don't confuse this witless work for another Heathers, or Something About Mary. Steer clear. Your eyes and brain will thank you

Summary: "Pulp Fiction" meets "Shallow Grave" .... in better !
Review: Terrific, Funny, cynic, a great punch to the american dream and to Las Vegas city . Christian Slater in his best part : simply diabolic ! And Cameron Diaz is here a kind of a anti-Cameron Diaz able to do everything to get married,... everything.... Wonderful!

Summary: definitely dark and at times very humorous
Review: yes they have done some very bad things. great movie
shocks you, scares you, thrills you, chills you, makes you laugh all at once almost. highly recommend this one. it's different roles for each character. and they play their parts part well. I was definitely shocked after seeing this the first time thru. I shall watch it again and again. the ending is nice. the story is very twisted at times. but I think it helps the viewer think of what might happen next before they show it. I am glad I have this on dvd. a true shocking classic movie. That goes to show you that when you do "very bad things" sooner or later your conscience will eat away at you for them and you'll either beg and confess or something else. quite a shock of a movie they made. but it's worth the watch always

Summary: A Violent and Over-The-Top Black Comedy
Review: If you enjoy watching people scream, fight and kill through an entire movie, then you'll love this one. If not, don't bother. No redeeming value whatsoever. I'd give this negative stars if I could.

Summary: BERG YOU SUCK. Sincerely, Marty
Review: What do you get when you put a bunch of good actors in a movie and have them scream at each other for 90 minutes? Plenty of dark comedy in that! It's funny cuz they kill more people! Then they scream some more! Then Cameron Diaz screams too! Then they all scream for ice scream! WAKKA WAKKA!

Summary: AWFUL
Review: Save your time AND your money. Thank the gods I didn't pay theater money, only to have to walk out after the first half hour (as apparently many did). I hit "Stop" on my remote control and went on to better things.
I love black comedy, but this movie falls FAR SHORT of being a good black comedy. Obviously there are many who disagree.
I recommend you look elsewhere for your black comedy because this movie SUCKS.

Summary: "Did you ask about the chairs?"
Review: Let me preface my review by saying that "Very Bad Things" is not for everybody. It was the first movie I'd ever seen where people walked out of the cinema within the first half hour. Possibly just after the scene with the stripper in the bathroom...
Let me begin my review by saying that I love this movie. It slaps us in the face with several themes we'd really rather not think about and forces us to for an opinion on situations we'll hopefully never have to encounter. In many ways the movie resembles "Kill Bill vol. 1." in that the totally over-the-top nature of the violence renders it cartoon-like and therefore meaningless. Pretend that this is set in an alternate universe if it makes you feel better...
The central theme explored in the movie is "Karma", the concept that what goes around comes around. The guys go to Vegas for a bachelor party that goes horribly wrong, and they all end up paying for it in different ways. Comparisons have been drawn between this movie and "Shallow Grave", but I'd also say that "Stag" and "Deliverance" are also valid reference points. Cameron Diaz plays the same character she does in "A life less ordinary", while Jon Favreau revisits "Mikey" from Swingers.
The movie is shockingly brutal in it's portrayal of the limits people will go to in order to lead a quiet life, and while the end of the movie does take on a somewhat farcical tone, it is ultimately nice to see the wheel of karma spin right round.
If you like black comedies, Vegas and Deliverance, you'll love Very Bad Things.
