Slop by Numbers

Surely there is at least one writer in hollywood with half a brain that can come up with an original idea?
This is unoriginal, predictable and utter slop. The only redeeming feature is the acting by Slater and Masterson which is professional. Other than that, this film has been made over and over again with a slightly different title.
I know I'll be unpopular for expressing this view and some folks will love this 'film by numbers' approach. But surely writers and producers could at least strive for a little originality?

Can you give us an example?

I think I might have appreciated it more if their pasts were revealed in some way other than each giving a monologue. Not very original.
