Honestly, I did glance at this and think that this probably won't be a good movie. But honestly there's a lot of bad movies out there and this one sure doesn't surpass them all.
Paris Hilton is a pretty good actress in this movie. If it isn't a lot for ya'll to think about, I haven't seen her genuinely smile a lot. This movie showed her portraying a character that was a good person and she pulled it off really well. Look at the talent not at the person. Sure there's probably a lot of greater actresses out there but I was proud of her because this showed off some of her good talents.
Jason Mewes is a pretty good actor. He pulled of this role amazingly well. Maybe the whole point of the movie was a little lame but he was one of those roles, you just had to like because he could hold his own.
Notice, I'm not talking about these people personally. IN the movie, their ROLES were pretty well acted. So yes, the movie was decent, i've seen better but I think specifically Paris and Jason were two good leads that acted well together and brought out their roles very well.
This movie is bad. With a major B. But it isn't close to being one of the hundred, or even thousand worse movies ever made. Saying that is about as intelligent as saying that Paris Hilton is a genious.
Oh neat, my argument fales due to a typo. Praise thee, almighty overlord of greatness. Though you may be a complete imbicile, you ability to correct me on my second language is amasing.
No, your argument fails because it IS one of the worst 100 films ever made. It. Is. Dreadful.
The "typo" was just poking fun. Apologies if it's your second language: just thought having Dakota as your name (and latterly using the word "neat") meant you were American...
Seriously.. I haven't seen 100 movies that were worse than this one, but I've seen enough to say that I really doubt that this is in the low 100s. 'Murder Set Pieces', there you have the kinda movie that belongs in the bottom 100, and though titles escape me, I know I've seen a ton of movies that were equally bad.
It was watchable. it puts paris in the best light ive ever seen her in. and shes so much more beautiful with brown hair. the blonde is to harsh on her and makes her look like a bitch without even having her talk
Not a great movie by any stretch but a lot better than I was expecting. Especially since i just watched National Lampoon's Pledge This. (BTW Pledge This is so bad its good. It's like when you have a toothache and you press down on the tooth and it hurts, but in a good way.)
Paris looks WAY better as a brunette and even though there were some rough spots (particularly the first real serious scene with her and Jason Mewes--her infliction is completely wrong) she made the character likable, which was what she was supposed to do.
The story was a little bit different, which was cool. There wasn't a ton of humor, just a few chuckles here and there. It's refreshing in that it's not a sappy movie where the guy turns into a little girl and pours his heart out. Thank you Jason Mewes.
I'm not necessarily going to recommend it, but if you have Netflix and you wanted to watch it instantly and stream it, there are worse movies.
No replies to this for 18 months but I gotta add to the thread. Watched this last night and.......I have seen lots of films far worse than this. I have watched numerous films that have had no redeeming features at all yet this has many and it does actually have some charm.
The media influences peoples thoughts so much. A lot of people rating this will jut think 'well, it's got Paris Hilton in it so it must be garbage, better score it low' It's like peer pressure. If Psris's role was played by some unknown actress of equal ability, the 1 ratings would not be happening.
One thing......why has she got blond hair on the DVD cover?
I didn't want to reply to any thread on this film, lest someone know i was here, and that i had GASP actually seen this "movie" while it was on HBO and i was... in a coma or paralysed, or shackled to a chair or something... god, i just cannot for the life of me remember why i watched this... maybe hoping Jason Mewes really was funny and could stand on his own two feet (He isn't and he can't).
That being said, shelley0603's three year old post drew me in like the Sirens Song, and i just had to open my big, fat, know-it-all-smart-ass mouth (fingers?) and say (type?) that, "How can you be proud of someone that you don't even know?" and to say that you're proud of her talents (beyond giving a mediocre blowjob with night-vision goggles on, she has not one discernible talent that i, or most, can see). Miss Hilton is a vapid, self-absorbed, flat piece of wet cardboard (and not just when preening for the camera) and she has spawned this bizarre, sick obsession with the same, that much of America seemingly cannot get enough of (aaaah, I just ended a sentence with a preposition!). America's appetite for, and applause of, mediocrity and banalities and boorishness (and celebrity in general) is just beyond my understanding, it really is.
You're proud of her because she tried her best... at what? She's rich and awful and a sign of the times and i really wish she would just go all Howard Hughes and lock herself away in one of her castles, and collect her urine in jars and drink the blood of infants or do whatever it is that the stupidly mega-wealthy do when they go nuts. And now that being said, i continue to ask questions (that will likely go forever unanswered by you), "How can you feel sorry for someone you don't know? How can you be proud of (that is to feel pride for) someone you don't know; someone who you will never know, and who would very likely look at you with disdain and openly mock you for wearing last season's clothes or for knowing how to read?" I'm serious when i ask this (to no one in particular, though i wish to have caught up with you in time to ask these questions of you); she tried? She gave it her best shot? And please, i'm not one of those people who jumps on others for saying of their favourite sports team, "We won!" or "We're gonna kick the Bengals ass next week." That i understand, that's just simplifying speech and associating your(hypothetical)self with the team you support. But to feel empathy and pride for someone you don't know and who very likely wouldn't be proud of you (or likely even aware of you) if you won the Nobel Prize in Physics for unifying Quantum and Newtonian Physics...
And for you to express this emotion towards her automatically makes you a better person than she; I wouldn't give Paris the time of day, anymore than she would me.
And you may say tu quoque, as i speak as though i have some intimate knowledge of her (which would also give me herpes) or have had some personal experiences with her. Of course I speak only of her carefully crafted(?) public persona; if that is the way she chooses to portray herself, if that is the way she wants people to perceive her, how she wants people (id est the public at large) to think of her... well, it may be a great and fallacious logical leap (i doubt it), but i say that i am more likely than not correct about her as being vapid and grotesque and a whore of many sorts (and I am by certainly no means a prude).
I agree. It was far from great, but it wasn't totally unwatchable. I can think of plenty of movies that I've fallen asleep to or turned off and I was able to make it through to the end of this one. Yes it has many, many flaws, but I liked David Keith's performance and thought the guy who played Hayden did a good job.
