Can't believe I watched this

The movie actually had me until the last 20 or so minutes. I found myself cheering for the villian, after all, no one but Joy was worth caring about. I actually found it somewhat admirable that Voilet was looking out for for Joy.
Somewhat of a Spoiler here:
And then the climax. Our villian turns psycho and the plot becomes boring and pedsterian. Hello! You found your housekeeper in the closet and you actually sit to have tea? It was an ok film, too bad it had an climax.

Yeah, the movie actually caught my attention, and I completely agree that it is so ridiculous to come into a room, see your maid is dead, not know where your father is, and sit down with a psycho and drink tea. The movie was just okay, though.

No, don't keep it to yourself. That is what these forums are like. Ignore people like that stupid person above me.

The movie was kind of ridiculous agreed. But Joy had no choice but to have tea with Violet, and she knew it. She knew Violet was psycho, and played along.
But I thought Joy was such a doof, she DROPS the chair instead of using it as a weapon?!
Then STOPS at the top of the stairs and yells "HELP" to...who?! Who was supposed to help her?! Instead of running down the stairs?
Then she doesn't even search for her missing dad, seems not to notice the fumes doubtlessly filling up the house OR the sound of the engine running, empties her neat shelf, smiles and walks calmly outside!

"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

This film serves nothing, absolutely nothing but one purpose, watching Jaime Pressly at the zenith of her hotness. Seriously she is unfreakin'believable in this.
