I really need to know..


ive never seen this movie, but I keep hearing that it would have ruined Leo and Tobey's careers. What is in the movie that was soooo bad. Was there too much violance,racist comments, really bad language ect ect!! What was soo disturbing about this movie?

oh and are they acting or just being themeselves in front of the camera? Is it scripted. Im really wanna know soo any help would be great!!

It may not have ruined there careers, some of it was scripted, most of it improved based on scene ideas developed by the writers. But in reality, what it was really about, was the fact that a bunch of freinds made this film. Tobey and Leo were helping out there freinds. People got greedy. It was once a short film and then, because of all the extra footage, some of the producers got it in their head that they would cut a feature, which leo never agreed to. The film is crass, and it definatly gives the impression that the actors are playing themselves. But I don't think it relly would have damaged carreers as much as it was the principal of the thing.
Oh, and it's not worth seeing. It's not a good movie and now it's severly out dated.

Cool.

pick up a copy on ebay and see for yourself. If a movie was going to ruin a career and I think Man In The Iron Mask would have done it.

I liked them both in this (and I really hated Tobey after seeing him in Spider man) So...
The movie is not so bad, it's not great either.
