Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
rioplaydrum My, oh, my.I first received a copy of this film on VHS back when that was still the industry standard at the time and watched it multiple times.Absolutely horrific and an illustration of just how bad an average middle-class life can turn on a dime for no good reason what-so-ever.At the time I had a Lady Friend from work who wanted to borrow it. She had a young child at home and I warned her this was some rough stuff and explicitly told her that her kid definitely didn't need to see it.She thanked me later.This film has not lost it's impact over the years. It is a terrible story to behold and is a testament to the sometimes vapid themes otherwise normal people will overlook just to appear as respectable human beings to the rest of the world.No one has a happy ending in this story.
Ipso Facto Good premise ruined by horrible, over the top acting ,and over- reacting that was intended to hide the horribly weak plot development ..This movie is a great material for a MadTV skit ..This is not a black comedy, this is a black blotch on the book of black comedy.Sometimes when I watch a movie like this, I wonder what were the director or script-writer thinking.It looked like they forget about real life and it was highly possible that someone would ask about the whereabouts of the deceased stripper.What about the hotel security guy, how absurd it is to assume that you can let him inside your room and then kill him and bury him and move on with your life as if nothing has happened because you made sure to cover your tracks by going to supermarket and pick up some cleaning detergents and walk down the aisle with disco music playing in the background ..the movie makers assumed that the weak plot can be drowned under the the screaming, the sound effects and absurd violent behaviour and they were rightly so given the reviews posted here.People, dark comedy must be intelligent , subtle and oh do I need to mention,funny?
SnoopyStyle Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau) is getting married. Laura Garrety (Cameron Diaz) is stressed out about planning the ceremony. She doesn't trust Robert Boyd (Christian Slater) in charge of the Vegas bachelor party and doesn't like his weird childhood friend Charles Moore (Leland Orser). Brothers Michael (Jeremy Piven) and Adam Berkow (Daniel Stern) join their workmate Kyle. Adam's wife Lois (Jeanne Tripplehorn) warns them about over-indulging. They gamble, take drugs and trash the room. Michael accidentally kills the stripper while having sex. That's only the beginning.This is darkest of black comedies written and directed by Peter Berg. I don't find it funny. Everybody is actually a bit annoying. Christian Slater takes over as a pretty interesting character. There is no doubt that these are reprehensible characters. I don't care about them and their problems. Stern's manic behavior is annoying. Instead of worrying about these characters, I would rather have a rising kill rate. Every kill brings a smile to my face. That would be funnier instead of everybody yelling and being annoying.
Claudio Carvalho A couple of days before his wedding with Laura Garrety (Cameron Diaz), Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau) travels to Las Vegas for a bachelor party with his friends Charles Moore (Leland Orser), Robert Boyd (Christian Slater), Michael Berkow (Jeremy Piven) and his brother Adam Berkow (Daniel Stern) in his minivan. They go to an apartment in the hotel and get crazy drinking booze and using cocaine. When the stripper Tina (Carla Scott, a.k.a. Kobe Tai) comes to their room, she teases the friends and Michael goes with her to the bathroom to have sex. The prostitute hits the hanger for towel with her nape and she dies. The group panics, but Boyd convinces his friends to bury the woman in the desert. However one security guard comes to the room because of the noise and he glances at the dead body. He wants to call the police and Boyd stabs him to death. Then they clean the room and bury the bodies in the desert. They return home and Adam freaks out with the situation, causing an accident with his wife Lois Berkow (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and children. Meanwhile Laura organizes the wedding party and during the rehearsal, Michael and Adam have a serious argument and Michael decides to hit the minivan of his brother. Adam tries to protect his minivan and is accidentally murdered by his brother. Soon Lois finds a note written by Adam and presses the group to know what happened in Vegas. What will happen to them?"Very Bad Things" is one of the darkest comedies ever. The storyline of a group of friends that accidentally kills a woman is not original and has been used many times (for example, the 1997 low-budget "Stag"). However, "Very Bad Things" by Peter Berg has improved the story and is little gem of black humor. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Uma Loucura de Casamento" ("A Crazzy Wedding")
