This movie is horrible on many levels *spoilers*


I saw this movie and thought it might be worth checking out, sounds different than the normal movie.

Well I must say I almost could not finish watching it because it is so horrible and wrong on so many levels, but let me give you the reasons.

1) The guy embarrasses this lady he doesn't know talking about her Porn choices in front of everyone.
2) The guy stalks this women
3) The guy becomes a "peeping tom" and watches her through the window while she is masturbating
4) He lies to her again and again about why he is always around
5) He lies to her to get inside her house
6) She treats him like utter crap and he keeps coming back for more
7) He makes a bet about his penis size and that means he gets to sleep in her bed, a guy she hardly knows
8) The guy hounds this women for sex, and says they are BF/GF when it's obviously not a real relationship, and it's completely one sided. And even that side doesn't seem to be truly about love at all.

There is more that I could comment on but those are what totally made this movie to ridiculous to watch and enjoy. If this movie had reversed sex's of the main characters and the women was the one being treated like crap I doubt many people would find it as appealing as they do in it's current state. Yeah lets watch a girl stalk a guy, and then get treated like crap and keep coming back for more.

Basically this movie says it's ok to stalk someone, lie to them to get in there house and then pressure them for sex, and if they treat you like crap keep coming back for more. Yeah real nice movie! (sarcasm in case you couldn't tell).

Completely horrible movie that I wished I had never seen in my life. I registered just to make this comment and also to give this the lowest rating possible to keep other people from thinking of ever renting or watching this movie and to stop them from going through the pain I went through watching it.

This movie gives us a perfect opportunity to watch people acting in a way that we would not act. I only say this because the OP reflects a trend that I've noticed, that many members of the movie-going public feel the need to pass their judgments on the behaviors of fictional characters. I've heard it before many times: moviegoers responding negatively to a film because the characters aren't acting in a way that is appropriate, or can be explained by modern rules of behavior.

I think it's a result of the escapism that is fostered in modern film making. I'm saying that films don't have to speak for you, the viewer. They can exist merely as a window into another world, saying nothing about who YOU are for watching them, or how you would act if you were in those situations. I have just been finding myself wondering lately: since when are movies expected to be guides on how to live our lives? I only say this, because the OP seems to reflect that sentiment. As he says: "basically this movie says it's ok to stalk someone." The movie says nothing of the kind!

how the *beep* does the plot make something a horrible movie?

I did not particularly like watching Jesus being crucified in any movie I have seen but that does not make the movie horrible!!!

If a movie has a bad plot usually its a bad movie. However, this film has a bad plot, script, acting, directing, etc. Everything about it was bad. I know this is said a lot but I actually mean it when I say: This is one of THE WORST movies I've ever seen. I find it hard to believe that anyone legitimately likes this film.

Agreed.
Another independent film about nothing. Another "INDI" film that documents behavior, rather then characters... Another "INDI" film to be called "INDY".
A film that seems to be born out of an snippet of an idea, an idea of an idea..a crumb of an idea. It's a kind of a movie that does not appear to have a script or a coherent idea on how to end this opus...But it's ok, because it's "INDI", right? Sort of like all the SNL films that are based on SNL sketch, but obviously not enough material for a full length movie...
Maybe "Good Dick" a short film?
Nah, forget it....
Nothing special, nothing new...just nothing.

Another film where Hollywood mistakes stalking for romance. No wonder so many guys don't realize when their behavior is inappropriate. They see movies like this and they see how girls swoon over how romantic the guy is for being patient and understanding and blah blah blah true love, then they try the same and girls freak out.

I dunno. It seems to me that good movies are you watch, you laugh, you cry, you do whatever your supposed to do. Great movies are the ones that make you think, challenge you in someway, and that you wish could go on forever.

I'll let you guess which one this was.

Does it really matter what she whispered to him at the end? Nah. All that you're left with is the emotional release that they felt together after an entire movie where they were on completely different ball fields on the emotional baseball ground of life.

I just didn't enjoy this movie. A lot of things went completely unexplained, the tone was unenjoyably awkward and the girl was obnoxious and needed nothing but psychiatric help.
