I think I will miss this one but dont say you have not been warned.
Excerpts from Daily Mail review.
Movie stars Hugh jackman, Richard Gere, Gerard Butler, Terence Howard, Uma Thurman, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Haille Berry, and many more BUT .......................
For Movie 43 — the first comedy produced by Sir Richard Branson’s film studio Virgin Produced — is a Hollywood movie so unremittingly awful that it had to be sneaked out on an unsuspecting public before critics could see it and warn them.
As Hollywood shakes its head and wonders whatever possessed so many stars to get involved in such barrel-scraping sleaze, many of America’s top critics believe they may have witnessed cinematic history.
Quite simply, Movie 43 — now on general release in Britain — could be the worst film ever made.
The reviews, which are far more entertaining than the actual film, don’t pull any punches. Respected U.S. critic Richard Roeper describes it as the ‘Citizen Kane of awful’. Most of his colleagues struggle to remember another film so dire. The ‘gross-out’ humour of defecation, perverted sex, cruelty and rampant political incorrectness isn’t even funny or original, they complain.
But the general dismay at how low the standards of taste have sunk is matched by sheer bewilderment at how the film ever came to be made. As one New York critic put it: ‘Was someone holding Kate Winslet’s children hostage? Did Richard Gere or Hugh Jackman have gambling debts?’
