Without a doubt, one of the worst movies I've ever seen!

Now, before all the pretentious snobs start chiming in with "you just don't get it" or "you're just not smart enough," let me explain a couple of things. I don't hate movies with non-traditional endings. I am a big fan of Indies and I am quite educated. This film had some of the worst writing I have ever seen. The dialogue was about as well-written as a Sci-Fy Network original movie and the ridiculous over-acting reminded me of bad community theater. Add to that a plot-line that goes nowhere and you have this steaming pile. Just because Woody Allen may have made some good movies once upon a time, people seem to faun over this when really they should be putting the inverted plastic bag over their hand and locating the nearest receptacle.

PS-Seriously, always clean up after your pets.

but it wasn't that bad. They make an awful lot of atrocious movies, really stupid movies.

I guess it depends whether you think the hypocrisy in Blue Jasmine is worse to watch than is the stupidity in a lot of other movies.

I used to know a chick that acted exactly like Jasmine. She even looked a little like her. I loved the movie because I can relate.

I wouldn't say it was one of the worst movies, but it definitely was not one of the best. Everyone was such a caricature, it was difficult for me to have any real feeling about the film, despite Cate's tour de force performance. Also, why did all the people in San Francisco sound like they were from Canarsie? I live in CA and I've yet to meet anyone like them since I left NYC. It kind of made me mad that Woody insisted on making a NY movie in San Francisco! Nitpicking aside, for me, the best part of the movie was Alec Baldwin. He seemed to provide the only realistic portrayal of anybody in the film. The lowpoint? The scenes with the dentist. Why? No really, why? Couldn't Jasmine have just lost her job for sucking at it? This movie seems old and outdated right out of the gate, propelling us into a world of cheating husbands, sex-crazed employers, doofy working class heroes, and effete politicos. Even if it's true, blech, no thanks.

Jesus Christ your lucky if this is one of the worst movies you've ever seen. I've seen dozens if not hundreds of worse movies than this. You must have viewed a very select group of films for this to be one of the worst.
