I don't think the other reviewers are being fair. How can someone who fast forwarded through most of the movie believe he can give a fair review of it? I'm also getting a little tired of the childish jabs other reviewers give these types of movies. It gets old when every review is coming out with them and is like what I would expect from schoolchildren, not in any way clever.

There is lots of sex in this movie and yes you could justify calling it a porn movie. However there are interesting scenes in it also, the characters and situations are often spectacular and really striking. Direction, acting and characters are all great. True, the plot is very simple, but it's more an artsy type of movie. There are all kinds of themes running through it which anyone can see.

These beautiful and elegant scenes doesn't just come about by chance or by having beautiful girls, which are dime a dozen. If you think that then you need to watch some bad adult movies and you will appreciate the huge difference.

Some very liberal grad college students have guests over to discuss politics. However after an incident with one ex-soldier, they start inviting over highly conservative individuals and poisoning them one by one.

The movie is fun, I like the premise and the "graphics". However it's not serious or believable. I don't like how they put it together.

For example the very first guest was a priest who was very offensive towards homosexuals. He was condescending and harsh. However he never indicated any intention to physically harm homosexual individuals. All he said was that he believed they were sinning badly, he wasn't carrying out any act on them. I don't think he was an appropriate way to start the killings at all, they should have started with some gun wielding far-right redneck who made multiple threats about killing black people or homosexuals. They could have then progressed to some fatcat individuals destroying the environment, poisoning water supplies, inducing slave labour.

Even though the writers missed these opportunities to highlight the real issues, they do seem like liberals. The people with strong conservative viewpoints are portrayed as "illiterates". I realize we are seeing things from the point of the liberal college students, but there's more to it than that. A kind of dismissal of topics such as abortion as being something that should 'obviously' be allowed. I resent that, abortion is a really serious matter where you are terminating something that is a little too close to being a human for comfort and not a clear issue.

I think they got the idea of Courtney B. Vance as being completely for the killings, and proactive with them sometimes, and that idea was great. At first one of the girls was against them, however she reversed it way too easy IMO. I think they should have kept her on as being the one who didn't like the idea.

I think they did the ending more or less perfectly also, and it redeemed some of the offence against conservatives.

David Schwimmer stars as ordinary guy Charlie with a quirky penchant for trivial facts (not funny), and he somehow gets talked into an extortion scheme with the brash Gus who he's recently met and a tough babe named Josey. Of course the scheme goes horribly wrong, someone gets accidentally killed, and the dead bodies start piling up. Charlie's wife happens to be a cop herself (you can imagine all the hilarious situations and intense scenes that will bring up), and there are all sorts of crazy characters along the way. It's very formulaic, what could possibly go wrong?

Nearly everything in the movie seems either very unrealistic or stolen from something else. It's like something you'd see on the horror channel... some direct to video movie made by people recently out of film-school. All of those little jokes that you've seen before pop up here and they're not funny here. Their idea of staging the crime scene to look like an accident was pathetic. Nearly all of the cop activity in the movie was doing something that they obviously wouldn't do (even the parts that weren't supposed to be funny). This movie's pathetic attempts at humour just left me cold.

I hated all the characters apart from Josey maybe, and I hated all the "unexpected twists". You can see the jokes and "twists" a mile before they happen. The cop in charge of the investigation was a really stupid character, not funny at all.

The reason I gave this movie 4 is because even though I found no real quality in it, at least it wasn't a chore to watch. I didn't feel like turning it off before the end.

If you want to watch a movie like this, watch Very Bad Things. That movie shows how this is done right. After watching this movie, I actually have a new appreciation for Very Bad Things, because this shows how hard it is to make things work right and be funny and good and have twists in a movie like this.
