Plot:
Peter Berg's dark comedy about a bachelor party gone horribly awry is highly ambitious in its attempts to satirize suburbia, male bonding, and self-help philosophy, and for the most part it does succe...( read more

MCT:July 26, 2008Not to say this isn't a good movie, I just feel a bit shameful having watched it. There are sparks of comedy, but too often scenes play out awkward and drag on. I expected more than what I got.

I usually like black comedies....this is one of the best. The first time I watched it I kept think WTF? OMG! it wasn't predictable like so many movies out there. Great cast too! Leaves you thinking WTF what could happen next? all the way through to the credits.

MCT:March 28, 2008Cameron Diaz plays Laura Garrety, a selfish, whiny bride-to-be. She's getting married in three days to a handsome fellow named Kyle Fisher (Jon Faveau). She isn't happy with his decision to travel to Vegas with his friends for a bachelor party. They include two bickering brothers, Adam (Daniel Stern), and Michael (Jeremy Piven) as well as an organized but cruel real estate agent named Robert Boyd (Christian Slater), and a quiet mechanic named Charles Moore (Leland Orser). Once they arrive in Vegas, a stylistic montage sequence shows the five friends gambling, snorting cocaine, and drinking lots of alcohol. They settle in for the night at a fancy hotel, where a stripper (Carla Scott) arrives and lap dances the guys into a frenzy. Michael takes her into the bathroom for sex, but accidentally drives the stripper's head into a towel hook, instantly killing her. The rest of the men panic and want to call for help, but Boyd has a better idea. He wants to bury the body in the nearby desert. The intrusion of a hotel security guard complicates the issue. Boyd kills him with a corkscrew during a particularly unpleasant scene. The rest decide to use a chain saw to cut up the bodies and carry them to the desert in suitcases, where they do indeed put the unfortunate souls underground. "Very Bad Things" takes us on a roller coaster ride through immorality and its consequences. It's fun watching the sequences of events, the bodies piling up, and the exaggeration of our most improper impulses. A great cast demonstrates their fine acting abilities. The script, also by Peter Berg, features very smart, witty dialogue. Berg directs the chaos with an engaging style-especially during the scenes in Vegas, and keeps the momentum throughout the movie.

I like black comedies. "Very Bad Things" is not at the top but it's definitely a good one. Not suitable for kids!!!

This is a pretty twisted movie but I liked it. All the actors did a great job and the movie as a whole worked.

MCT:January 31, 2008Christian Slater returns as a kind of yuppie big brother to his sociopathic character in Heathers in a film that tries terribly hard to be a "cult" black comedy. It shares some similarities with Shallow Grave, but where that film concerned a group of friends who find a dead body and dispose of it for money, leading to their psychological breakdown out of guilt for what they did, this film seems to think that brutal murder for self serving convenience is all a bit of a laugh. Every one of the characters are thoroughly dislikeable, from Cmaeron Diaz's clingy and manipulative shrew to the bachelor party's collection of whining, hysterical misogynists. I can't say that the film is badly made as it's decently directed and the cast do their best with the material they're lumbered with, but it is tasteless, morally dubious and misjudged on every level. And anyone who could possibly find it funny are as sociopathic as the collection of hateful w**kers it contains.

I actually liked this one when many didn't. Sorry all. It's so "Very Bad" that its good. How can so many bad things happen to so many people? And no redeming qualities about the characters that makes their perdicaments even more tragic of sorts

MCT:December 17, 2007I wanted to love this movie. I tried so hard to. But I just couldn't. It wasn't that funny, and the dialog is sad. Dark comedy is my bread and butter, and what seemingly better way to make one than with Christian Slater, Daniel Stern, and Johnny F? Killing strippers and the hijinks that ensue upon returning to normal life should be much better than this. Its sad really...
-
MCT:November 17, 2007A highly uninspired movie. All of the stars in this movie probably won't be owning up to these roles. The plot sucks, the characters aren't likable, the ending is shit. Please avoid this movie at all costs.

Almost suffocatingly mean spirited but it manages to walk the line and stay funny throughout. Slater plays smarm to perfection.
-
MCT:October 24, 2007Disturbingly funny! They all play a very good role in character definition! A must see! Just gets crazier and crazier!

Delicious little black comedy. This film is a sick mix of thrills, suspense, comedy, drama and.. disturbia! It all starts out very (kinda) innocently, with a bunch of blokes heading off to Vegas for a bachelor party. But things take a nasty turn when there's an accident that leaves all the guys in a horrible predicament - To do the right thing, or do something VERY BAD! Once the horrible bits have passed, it's quite sick how enjoyable the rest of the film is. It's basically a tale about fate and getting what you deserve in the end, when you do bad things. I thought all the actors were brilliant and Cameron Diaz was the perfect bossy bride. Loved her scene at the very end! F.U.N.N.Y. Loved it all, this is a good one.

This is by far one of my favorite of all time movies. Its all about you reap what you sow...a Must See!

MCT:September 16, 2007
One of the funniest films of all time - very bad taste! An essential for stag night viewing (played well at mine!). Try taking a hefty shot every time something 'very bad' happens!

This went beyond dark comedy into total tragedy. I watched it because it was to awful to stop. Not one redeeming quality to any character in the piece.

as far as dark comedies go this is the cream of the crop. outstanding acting, and tightly knit story keeps the death count rising and keeps the laughs coming. jeremy piven is at the top of his game along with the rest of the ensemble cast. go!! go see it now, don't wait go!!!!

MCT:July 2, 2007
LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!! Kept me guessing til the end, which couldn't have worked out nicer. Great movie, highly recommended.

MCT:July 1, 2007
This is dark comedy at its best. So dark, in fact, that it is at times downright horrifying. I haven't liked Christian Slater in too many movies, but I do like him as the menacing friend in this one.
