Summary: Very BAD things is right!
Review: I WOULD GIVE THIS MOVIE NO STARS IF I COULD! This movie was horrible. The story was stupid, the acting was HORRIBLE and it was not funny (in any way). I expected better from Camren Diaz. The only thing you should by this movie for is a coster. Please, Please save your well earned money.

Summary: Not just a clever title
Review: "Very Bad Things" sums up the movie as a whole, in plot and in overall quality. Everyone is describing it as a "dark comedy," a genre I really enjoy. I got the "dark" part but there was not one thing funny about this film. It's a sick, spiralling melodrama of truly shameful acts that didn't deserve my time to watch it. The filmakers and stars owe their audience an apology.

Summary: Comedy of the Absurd
Review: This movie is a great example of comedy of the absurd. Situations presented here are carried to the worst possible extremes. This would be a worst-case scenario movie. The movie keeps you watching out of sheer desire to see how things could possibly get any worse. And things do get worse... Contrary to some of the reviews printed here, this movie is a comedy. It doesn't have it's roots in The Three Stooges or Keystone Cops, but instead is firmly rooted in the same comedic base that made movies like "Heathers" and "Death Becomes Her" funny. This is often not an easy movie to watch as it is graphic in nature. The basis of the story is a group of guys do one horrible thing, and spend the rest of the movie dealing with the repercussions of that deed. The movie puts normal people into a genuinely horrible situation and shows what happens when they start reacting the wrong way. Strong performances by all of the actors involved, especially Favreau and Diaz. This movie is not for everyone. At least half of the people I saw it with hated it. I, however, thought it was amazingly funny. If you like your humor a little on the grim side, check this film out.

Summary: SICK, UNFUNNY & A WASTE OF TIME
Review: This film's too gross and violent to be entertaining or funny. Some of you may groan "it's only a movie", but keep in mind the weirdos that seriously get off on this stuff, plus teens that find it "cool" and at times, fun to imitate things they just saw. Sounds like somebody's rich producer/uncle handed Peter Berg a chunk of money and said "here, direct and star in your own trashy film!" You'll feel like taking a shower after seeing this flick.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I can't believe I'm writing this, but this film is excellent. After all of the tarring and feathering it's suffered at the hands of reviews here, I watched it anyway on a lark, when in the mood for B-grade movie badness. Suffice it to say that I was extremely, pleasantly surprised...this is an excellent film. The cinematography, plot, screenplay, and acting are all so uniformly excellent that I ended up with newfound respect for almost every player that had a hand in it. I think I know what the problem is behind the wildly opposing viewpoints on the movie: its idiotic marketing. It is assuredly NOT a comedy, especially not on the order of comedies like There's Something About Mary. It's a disturbing film, with some brilliant insights and statements on human nature, and yes, it does have some funny scenes, but the humor is generally somewhat nervous. In any case, I am now shocked (and pleasantly surprised) to find that Very Bad Things is one of my favorite films. I think Peter Berg is very talented; it would be travesty if he didn't get another chance behind a camera (and screenplay), and I have newfound admiration for Christian Slater, who not only relishes his part, but all but steals the movie. It's unfortunate that some are raking this movie through several layers of mud; I believe there are two problems with this. Firstly, they are letting personal discomfort at the subject matter get in the way of an impartial review...even if they didn't enjoy it, they should be able to concede the film's obvious technical and performance strengths at the least. And secondly, I think that, quite plainly and frankly, if you're really THAT disturbed by this movie that it could, for example, ruin your night, your sensibilities really are too low. If you can deal with a sometimes-uncomfortably naked look at the ugliness of human nature, and yes, have a nervous laugh or two all the while, then you'll likely enjoy this film as much as I did.

Summary: A horrible movie, a worse DVD
Review: I can't even begin to tell you how sickened I was from watching this movie. This is a truly disturbing movie not worth your time even if you like black comedy. The ending, more than anything else in the movie, left me in complete shock. What is worse is that I like Jon Favreau (of Swingers fame!) and wondered how he could have accepted this depressing, wretched role.However, what really bugs me is the DVD itself. Complete lack of extras (save for the trailer). Not even subtitles. At the end of the story, I was actually hoping for the commentary track, just to see what exactly the twisted screenwriter or directory was thinking when he vomited up this movie.

Summary: This Movie is a Classic!
Review: The first time I saw this movie I thought it wasn't that great..but the more I watched it..the more I liked it. It is a movie like no other. It keeps you on the edge of your seat because everything is so unexpected, unlike some movies where you can predict everything that's going to happen and how it's going to end. If you haven't seen this movie--it's a must! It's worth it!

Summary: Addictively Sick and Definately Insane
Review: The opening scene at a very wild bachelor party in a Vegas hotel room is the movies hook. After being shocked into submission by this scene you will not be able to turn the movie off (try as you might) The remaining scenes are less interesting and pointlessly violent yet increasingly insane. Cameron Diaz also throws some extra "spice" into the movie and over-all it makes an excellent movie for someone who lives in a boring suburb to watch. But prepare to be shock to a degree that you will remember every scene the next day. Especially shocking to women.

Summary: Don't waste your time, money or health.
Review: Don't waste your time or money baying this movie. It is not a Comedy, I didn't laugh seeing it. Violent films with no don't offend me, but this is nothing but random violence. This movie is truly very bad. the movie should be named "Very Bad Movie" ZERO STAR MOVIE
