Very Bad Things (1998)



Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but to make it up to you here is my review on Very Bad Things.

So this is classed at a Comedy, Crime, Thriller. To be honest though I didn't find it funny, there were a few moments at the beginning but nothing that would give it a comedy genre. Even looking at the plot that is mentioned in the blurb it doesn't make it seem like it is going to be funny at all. So on to the plot....

Kyle (Jon Favreau) and Laura ( Cameron Diaz ) are getting married and Kyle is going on a bachelor night to Las Vegas. But things suddenly turn bad when a prostitute turns up and is killed, with bodies and pressure starting to building up the friends start to turn on each other. So as you can see doesn't sound to funny.

Kyle is annoying he has no back bone until the end and spend most of his time moaning and crying which is fine up to a certain point. But the character that annoyed me the most was Laura, she was so obsessed with having a wedding ( it was all she ever talked about even when people where dying all around her) and then when she finds out everything and why it has all happened all she has to say is that Kyle is not going to ruin her big day for her and the wedding will go on with or with out him ( which is slightly impossible, unless she has someone on the side) I mean im sorry but I don't know of any one or heard of anyone that obsessed with weddings ( im sure there are people out there) but it just got irritating and seemed to far-fetched.
Christian Slater's character was by far the one that made the movie watching his thought process of everything that was going on and seeing him loose his mind was interesting to watch.

It wasn't an all bad movie it did get you involved in the story and did keep you interested in what was going on but it won't be a movie I will recommend as a good film to watch on a movie night. Or even one that I will watch over and over again.

All in all I give this movie 5/10

Thanks for reading and watch this space :)
