Well, Its been awhile since I saw this movie. It was back in August when i saw this, and I am pretty sure that it was a rough cut. It was a preview screening for critics, and it sucked. It tried to pass some of the worst ideas off as humor. I personally don't find seeing x-rays of people chewing food disgusting or funny, unless I missed something like relevance. The movie was your basic film noir and such, but done horribly.
Normally, I'd say that the cast should be ashamed of themselves for even agreeing to do this dreck, but they were taking risks, and for that I applaud them. I do like Helena Bonham Carter, she is an interesting actress. So, anyways, the cast sort of walked its way through the mess and eventually they found the end. Its not like the director even seemed to be looking for a performance, but maybe that was the point. But, as a friend once told me, when I tried explaining The Doom Generation to him, "Just because they meant it to be like that, doesn't mean that it is good."
Maybe the director was competent, maybe that was what he wanted, maybe he purposefully misdirected the whole sham. I dunno, I just know that only *spoilers**Spoilers**SPOILERS* a few scenes were funny: the biting of people with dentures from somebody else's mouth, the pulling out of your own teeth, and i do believe one other one. *END Spoilers* But don't see this crap otherwise.
2/10
