Worst Movie Ever

There's lots of competition for that honor

The problem with Rules Don’t Apply is that it’s a passion project, and it feels like a passion project, in a bad way. Beatty clearly wanted to play Hughes, the mid-20th century airline titan, sometime film producer and banana nut ice cream enthusiast previously played by Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator. And Beatty’s is a decent performance, focusing on Hughes as an ultra-charismatic, if somewhat tortured, eccentric whom his entire circle can’t help but to rotate around like he’s the sun. Put it up aside DiCaprio, and the difference is stark: Rules Don’t Apply’s Hughes is something of a tragic figure, to be sure, but it’s tragic in a glossed-over, old-school Hollywood way. There’s no bordering-on-fetishistic portrayal of mental illness. He doesn’t pee in any bottles.

Part of Hughes’ retinue are aspiring actress Marla (Lily Collins), all virginal sweetness and “oh my stars!,” and her driver, Frank (Ehrenreich), an aspiring businessman who wants Hughes’ ear so he can convince him to invest in a real estate project. Marla and Frank are interested in each other from the start, but their romance is star-crossed: Hughes has strict rules against drivers and actresses dating, and anyway, Frank is engaged to his hometown sweetheart (Farmiga).

Marla and Frank make up the other two points of Rules Don’t Apply’s main character triangle, and my God, Warren Beatty, pick a plot. You get the sense that Hughes was envisioned as a supporting player in Frank and Marla’s epic love, but Beatty-the-writer/director can’t help himself from going back to him time and again, because…. well, passion project. He’s always wanted to play Hughes—what is he only going to do two scenes? The result is rambling, disjointed mess that needed to be edited down in a big way.

There are individual elements that work—Candice Bergen is great to see again, as Hughes’ business manager Nadine. And Bening is a standout as Marla’s puritanical mother, whose views about what Marla is getting herself into, though they would have seemed prudish and old-fashioned back in the sexually-awakening ’60s, look pretty smart now. (To wit: These men just want to have sex with you. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of.) And Ehrenreich comports himself admirably, as the fish-out-of-water Frank bringing some jolts of humor to an otherwise tedious affair. If you need something to see this weekend, go to Moana instead.

Not even close to the worst ever. That is a stupid thing to say considering how many movies have been made and how many just flat out awful movies there have been.

A Warren Beatty passion project with no audience. People really don't know or care about Beatty anymore and the two main actors are unknowns at this point. They should have made this after the Han Solo movie, then you would have a bunch of Star Wars fans going to see it.

It's simply a juvenile, immature statement which has grown extremely tired on the movie boards.

While the film overall is no receiving high marks it's also extremely far from being any type of poor film, thus falling somewhere in between, thus making this thread ridiculous.

btw, great comment, if you've only seen 2 films in your life and the other was The Godfather, otherwise the immature comment shows much more about you than the film in question.

It's not a good movie but worst ever is a bit of a stretch. It was better than Incarnate which just came out. It's better than Bad Santa 2.

It's not the worst movie ever, since Beatty already has many movies that are worse than this, including (a) Town & Country (2001); (b) Love Affair (1994); (c) Ishtar (1987); (d) the Fortune (1975); (e) the Only game in Town (1970); and (f) Promise Her Anything. It is just absolutely incredible that a guy with so many bombs, including epic bombs, and so few hits, can keep getting people to fund his movies, especially when he starring in them.

I have no interest in this film after seeing the poster, and the female main character gets a pair of thick brows.

Not the end of discussion.
