I think I know why it didn't get a higher rating


It's a guarantee that all the paparazzi have viewed this movie. And they don't want the general public to view them as villains, so it makes sense that they would give the movie a very low rating.

it's a logical thought. I may agree with you, but gave it 8

You were generous. I gave it a two.

First off, it gets a 5.8, way more higher than it deserves. Second off, I love revenge films and I can say Paparazzi was the second worst revenge film I have ever seen which is saying something because I generally like most revenge films I have seen. The kills were pathetic, the acting was pathetic except for the late great Dennis Farina and Cole Hauser did alright for what he was given. The movie was too preachy, the paparazzi are scumbags, no doubt about it but the way they acted in the film is borderline ridiculous. It made it seem like they were saying "poor actors, they are harassed by these psychopaths every day in their life". It is true that actors do get harassed by the paparazzi and undeservingly so but this film makes it seem like the paparazzi are borderline murderers. There are better films that rate lower than Paparazzi, to be honest, I don't understand how people can like this film. If you want to see some great revenge films watch The Crow, The Punisher(2004), and Death Sentence. 3/10 only for Dennis Farina and some unintentional laughs(like the kill where the paparazzi member pulls out a gun on the police and when he gets shot three times, there is no blood just sparks, I guess he was a Power Ranger after all).

I loved the story and the ending! It was the best! What did that idiot think he was doing shooting Bo's bed? Was he supposed to be justified after all he did to that family? Great movie!

I am a huge fan of both Kelly Carlson and the movie, Paparazzi. But each time I watch Paparazzi, I look for Kelly Carlson and can't find her. It says in the credits she plays Kristin, who is Kristin?

I've never seen the whole movie so I can't tell you! I can only remember her in "Nip/Tuck!" Maybe she's playing an actress opposite BO so she didn't have a huge role! Must have been just a cameo because even on the WIKI page she isn't listed along with others like Mel Gibson, appears as an anger management patient in the waiting room of their shared therapist. In addition, Chris Rock appears as a pizza delivery driver, Vince Vaughn appears as Bo Laramie's co-star, and Matthew McConaughey appears as himself at a movie premiere. 
