The Words

[David Jimerson]

With Bradley Cooper.

One assumes this scathing sear-fest of a review is not the words the filmmakers wanted to hear about their film:

But I happen to agree with every word of it.

I'm not sure I've read a review in the last five years which rips a movie to shreds like this one.

While "Imagine some drug-drenched hetero version of The Boys in the Band written by Andrew Dice Clay and directed like the most badass Michelob commercial of 1991" may be the finest sentence I've ever read in a movie review, in toto, it's still not as scathing.

But I happen to agree with every word of it.

And I agree with every one of these ten words.

The movie wants you to think about plagiarism. Instead, I found myself thinking that I hope the stuff I've done/written that I think is good isn't as bad as that, 'coz clearly, these guys really, really, really thought they were making a good, nay, great movie.

I have avoided revisiting this one in my mind because it was so damned disappointing. Honestly, the whole Dennis Quaid where-does-truth-end-and-fiction-begin bit had a ton of potential, had it been executed with any level of narrative competence.
