The story is unsatisfying because of the following reason: 1) the hero is not sympathetic. The only two decent people in the script are the boyfriend and the gay guy. Both of these guys get screwed over in the story, the gay guy by Meryl Streep and the boyfriend by the hero of the movie. The hero (or heroine) cheats on her boyfriend, betrays her own values, yet we are supposed to root for her? I didn't like the woman. And because I didn't, I didn't care if she was abused or not by the villain.

2) The villain doesn't get her just desserts. She gets no comeuppance, which is something we want to see happen to bad people. That's why this story is not satisfying at all. She gets away with being a total creep to people without any punishment at all. In good stories, bad people get punished at the end.

This was a very mediocre film, and the people that enjoy it are the easily amused riff-raff that populate this country.

Holy Crap this is bad. It doesn't realize that camp is admission to the audience that there is no underlying story. It's a wink to audience that "hey, this story sucks, but we're making fun of other movies so it's OK." Well, it's not okay. Parodies fail nearly every time because they don't have story lines that keep the audience's interest for the full 90 minutes. They have a string of lame jokes that wears out its welcome within 15. This wears it out in less than 5.

I didn't laugh once at this crap fest. The girls were on the homely side except for the villain. The dialogue was terrible. The storyline, holy crap, what a bad story.

This has no redeeming qualities at all. It fails at every single level. The director will always be a hack. Don't believe me? She directed that catastrophe Herbie: Unloaded. Or whatever the heck it was called.

Trust me. This movie sucks. Whoever says different is probably a mental retard or glue sniffer. Those people account for the popularity of professional wrestling.
