wow ! I didn't think it would be THAT bad !


I mean, after hearing how poor this movie was I just assumed it would be bad - but this movie is REALLY bad ! There really isn't a single actor in this movie who can hold his/her head up high because of the performance they gave. Michael Myers tries so hard to show what a geeky yet brilliant queen Steve Rubell was that he's just laughable. Ryan Phillipe can't act. That's all there is to it. He is incapable of showing any kind of convincing emotions, and he is especially incapable of pulling off a New Jersey accent. Not that a New Jersey accent is so difficult. But doing any kind of accent while standing in front of a camera is far too difficult for Ryan Phillipe. He has to think in order to do that & thinking is not something that Ryan Phillipe is very good at. Selma Hayek is only convincing in the scenes when she gets to act bitchy. She's good at acting bitchy.

yha, you combine the horrific performances of this movie with the script which seems like it was written in about two days & you've got a very poor movie.

Then again, what do you expect when you're making a movie which is about a guy who blew Scott Rubell in order to become a bartender - and then based his entire celebrity status on the fact that he was a bartender at Studio 54 ? Stupid stupid movie.

I love it when losers like you try to defend such a piece of sh*t movie like this by giving that typical question : "did you actually watch the movie ???"

I love that.

ftr : I did watch the movie

and you're an idiot for thinking that getting one of the characters' names of this piece crap flick wrong means anything

I thought you would have dropped the whole "you obviously didn't watch the film" remarks by now. Can't you do any better than that ?

perfect !!!

that's the next thing that losers like you say whenever someone whom they accuse of having "obviously not watched the movie", has indeed seen the crap movie. They say "watch it again".

because it's IMPOSSIBLE for someone to have seen such a great movie as 54 & NOT like it - so you need to see it AGAIN !!!
