I Should've Saved My Money
 
What movies did you pay to see in the theaters that made you want a refund?

Angel Eyes: I just can't buy J-Lo trying to play a white woman, to me she is obviously Puerto Rican
Unbreakable: Just bad all-around

About two years ago I rented "Get Down On It." That's the one where the two girls compete to see who'll marry first. Now, Hollywood Video lets you rent movies for five days, but they had that sucker back within 24 hours. I don't know why I expected any depth from characters named Kinky and Ta-Ta!

This "cinematic train wreck" was cited in another post called Mystery Ghetto Theater 3000. Indeed!

Video Rentals:

Leaving Las Vegas-I had to watch this for a substance abuse class so I didn't have much of a choice. But what made it so bad was that I rented it from the public library and for non-educational videos and DVD's you had to pay a dollar and after I watched that movie, I wanted my dollar back and went as far as to ask the librarian for a refund!!

In The Theater:

The Blair Witch Project-WTF was that???? :confused:
Baby Boy-Pimp Slaps for ALL involved!!!!

Confucius 04-03-2003 04:16 PM

Country Bears.

When I saw the preview for that movie I was like, WTF! I think I was more freaked out by the talking bears than interested.:eek:

I actually liked the Talented Mr. Ripley. But I am glad to know that I was not the only one that did not get the point of the Blair Witch Project!:confused:

Master P and Ezel (the crackhead off Friday)

I rented this movie off the advice of my ex. He was like, "man it was funny, you're going to like it." I immediately took it back to Hollywood video and got my $3.98 back.

PHONE BOOTH
 
That movie SUCKS!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Bamboozled 04-12-2003 06:30 PM

Thanks for posting that Exquizit. My dilemma Friday night was to see either Phone Booth or Head of State and since I heard such awful things about Phone Booth, I opted for Head of State. So, in case you haven't seen it yet, Do Not Waste Your Money on Head of State. It was horrible. I already told y'all that Chris Rock is not funny to me (in movies that is), but I expected Bernie Mack to pick up his slack. How come all Bernie's funny parts were shown on the commercial? HC the story line sucked? HC Chris Tucker's movie on the same subject will be 10xs better??? HC I'm so mad I wasted my money on this movie? Hc maybe I'm just getting too damn old?

librasoul22 04-12-2003 07:28 PM

Dang y'all. I was supposed to go see Phone Booth later tonight. Maybe I will catch Anger Managment instead...

prospectiverushee 04-12-2003 08:12 PM

So I went ahead and rented Trois this weekend.:o OMG!!! That movie was cheesy. Was there even a plot?:confused: And how did Terrence/Eric turn out to be the crazy one? That was just silly.

Clockstoppers is also so bad that I could get thur the whole move. I got it at Walmart, and I'm thinking about selling it

NUPE4LIFE 04-13-2003 10:44 AM

IF ANYONE HAS SEEN MULHOLLAND DRIVE, COULD YOU PLEASE PM ME AND EXPLAIN THAT WHOLE FREAKING MOVIE TO ME!

I agree with Vanilla Sky and The Ring (rented it this weekend and fell asleep). I kind of liked Minority Report for some reason.

To me it was a poorly written spin-off of Love & Basketball.

:eek: I loved this movie. Your the first person I've heard say they didn't enjoy it. Maybe the Matrix Reloaded will change your mind.:) Give it another chance.
