Me You Madness

It feels like the vanity project of a rich guy's wife. There's nothing at all relatable or interesting in it; you've seen the same things in better movies plenty of times. Even the rich people in Mr. & Mrs. Smith had the decency to play down their wealth, and that's a much better version of this.

The acting is atrocious; I never though Ed Westwick was that great on Gossip Girl but he made it work for the show. Here he's wooden and unfunny. And she... well there's a reason she had to make a movie in order to star in one. Oof.

Plus, how many more tributes to the 80s do we need? It was 40 years ago, let's move on already.

Watch Promising Young Woman instead. You'll still feel icky but at least you'll have had a better time getting there.

Absolutely awful rip off of American Psycho. Could have succeeded as a different gender perspective. But wanders off to nowhere land of bad dancing extravaganzas.

I sit here after just watching this film and feel I've definitely wasted the last hour and a half, I could've cleaned the house in that time. I wonder what Ed Westwick was thinking agreeing to be in this.

One of the unintentionally funniest and terrible movies, arguably ever made. On the same level as "The Room" but what with considerably higher production values. It's worth it just for the experience. Likely to make those "Worst Movies of all Time" lists. I'd grab a 12 pack and commit to it because it's absolutely hysterical.

The reviewers who've said this is an obvious self-flagellating, movie-referencing, over-the-top, wannabe-clever movie is right. The people who've said this has an awesome soundtrack and some fun moments are right, too.

There are bits and pieces that are absolutely god awful. I, personally, couldn't stand the constant narration or the fact that what she's saying is literally what she's doing on screen. So much of it came across as someone reading a book over the movie and it's constant. There's also an eight and a half minute exposition dump at the very beginning.

The main character is an evil Mary Sue, super rich, loves showing it off and bragging. The only time I enjoyed her at all were the scenes between her and the male lead, and even then it was only sometimes. A lot of their dialogue was nothing more than quickly spoken sentences and repeated phrases for a solid couple of minutes because that obviously equals comedy!

On the other side, it does have moments of actual fun, but they're few and far between. So, yeah, both sides are right, hence the middle-ground rating. I didn't mind it too much.
