The cinematography is absolutely brutal. It is done in somewhat
of a documentary style, leading to many shaky camera and blurry sequences. I
have seen kids put together better shots using their cell phones than what this
one provides us with. The narrative is
weak and hard to follow at times, flipping through night and day and then past
and present in a matter of seconds. The subplot involving the movie production
is barely present and downright confusing at times. Most of the movie consists
of a song beginning to play, then the music lowers for a line or two of
dialogue and then the music gets louder again. This continues throughout the
whole picture, recycling some of the same songs. The acting is weak and often
feels forced and overacted, especially in one particular scene with the actress
Natasha Gregson Wagner. Her father Robert Wagner makes an appearance in what
would appear to have been done as a favor, since his daughter is co-starring in
this.
Maybe I simply don’t know what I am talking about and this piece of work is above my understanding, but I truly believe that this has absolutely no redeeming qualities and is one of the worst motion pictures that I have ever seen. I have watched pornography that contains a better narrative, story structure, character development, and cinematography than this. It is sad that the camerawork from an often untrained crew on an adult film is vastly superior to someone that graduated from the American Film Institute with a Master in Visual Arts as a Director of Photography.
Please, do anything else with your time than spending 82
minutes watching this disaster.
Share if you must.
