There have only been two movies I have walked out of or stopped playing


And this is one of them.

Awful.

Excrement.

A complete and utter waste of every single person ever associated with the production, acting within, marketing of, or simply viewing's time.

What was the other?

I also have 2 movies on my list of "walk-outs". (Melancholia and Date Movie. Both excruciating in the first 20 minutes for different reasons).

I stuck it out to the end of the even worse film "Burning Palms" because I knew this was not one movie; it was 5 vignettes. Sadly for me (and good choice for you) its first vignette was its best. From there it got bad fast and didn't improve.

BP is one of those films that is so bad it is burned into your memory forever. There are hundreds of films that I have enjoyed and rated a 6 or a 7 that I could now not remember one detail about even if you prompted me with a title. BP must be proud that it's so memorable.

I can't disagree more about Buyer's Remorse; I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Lake Bell was a revelation.

As for the rest, I would never recommend those vignettes to anyone. I particularly disliked the one with Jamie Chung. Not her fault. Just hated the premise.

I guess all the storylines were pretty grody. But I will never forget Anson Mount's portrayal. Very well done. Probably doing the heavy-duty testosterone roles now to try to make up for it.
