the worst film I have ever seen


The plot is utterly implausible and the very good cast generally stand around like mannequins staring into the middle distance in very nice clothes. The exception is Colin Firth who is utterly convincing as the devoted and griefstricken spouse who is frustrated by the fact that his disabled wife cannot even remember him and who has to hold down a job and come back to do everything for .. Nicole Kidman has a camera diary which she uses rather pointlessly to take selfies showing her with red eyes, in a nightie in the toilet for some reason. What happens when the memory is full up or the camera needs recharging since she cannot remember how to do anything? Colin Firth is a teacher working and living in London, in a very nice detached house with a garden of silver birch trees within walking distance of Greenwich. Then we get onto the plot which I cannot talk about for fear of a spoiler. Suffice to say that it gives the audience the opportunity to see a defenceless, vulnerable woman used as a punchbag and that none of it is believable. How could it be that this seriously disabled woman is under the care of a consultant, unbeknown to her husband but social services do not know where she is? If she is divorced from her husband how come he took her out of hospital? And at the end, is this reunion really such a good idea with the man who abandoned her and had an affair after all? Why is it supposed to be a happy ending?

Didn't bother reading any of your post. All I wanted to say is that if this is the worst film you have ever seen, then you haven't seen many films.

LOL ! true dat.

God i'm sick tired of "Worst Movie Ever" threads

but even more tired of "If this is the worst movie, you haven't seen many movies" posts

use your brains people! people on both sides of this argument are idiots!!!

you Worst Movie Ever guy, really think hard, can this piece of crap really be that much worse than Leprechaun 4?

and you "you haven't seen many movies" douche, can't you think of other *beep* to say than to point the obvious?

*beep* you both!

Even worse: "I'm criticizing the thread you started, but I'm not even going to read the single-paragraph original post you did."

So easy to be a complete d#$k out here in beautiful internetland.

reply

Agreed. Equally f#cking stupid things to say.


...then whoa, differences...

reply

+1. those who say that are more likely to say the exact same thing "worst movie ever" on other movies they hated more.

completely cringy either way.

reply

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! The film is an absolute mess. I can only think some people like it in the way that they like Lifetime movies except the brand name actors trick their brains into thinking it's a good movie.

It's a Lifetime version of Memento!!!

Pretty bad movie I'll agree, but not the worst one I've ever seen by a long shot. Also, doesn't really sound like you were paying attention to a lot of it.

reply

there is one of these posts on every single film board. I kind of hope it is computer generated by IMDB.


I suggest you go watch Norbit.

reply

Norbit LOL, I had forgotten all about that pos...now I'm gonna see a nightmare with Eddie Murphy in it, laughing all the way to the bank.

reply

Clearly you haven't seen Highlander II.

Colin Firth saved this film for me. He was the only good thing about it.

reply

Every single film on IMDB has some D-Bag saying "worst film ever".

It stopped being funny 10 years ago.

reply

One of my favorite "worst movie ever" threads started with "Let me start by saying I didn't see this piece of ****." Based on the OPs description in this one, I'm pretty sure they didn't really see it, either.



Movies are IQ tests. The IMDB boards are each person's opportunity to broadcast their score.

Someone beat me to it!

reply

Equally predictable, for every one of those posts there are multiple responders who resort to name calling in a effort to defend against the imagined affront of anyone having the gall to publicly express an opinion contrary to their own.

reply

Every single film on IMDB has some D-Bag saying "worst film ever".

And half of them, like this guy, never come back to respond to replies. Or to see what everyone has to say. Has no clue what a dufus he is.

reply

There is a "worst film I've ever seen" thread on every single movie listed on the IMDB. Lol.

Sounds to me as thouh you haven't spent a whole lot of time in the real world.
