This is a New All-time Low...


This is the lowest form of screenwriting I've ever seen. Its almost as though the actors improvised the entire thing, that's how weak this "storyline" is, and these are terrible actors throughout. Its probably a stretch to even call it a story.

What's the point of making a movie like this? A star vehicle for Dakota Johnson no doubt, with a dose of hideous, offensive Rebel Wilson? That's all I can come up with.

This is an insult to chick flicks.

I agree on the improvisation aspect of it, because the dialogue was absolutely absurd and highly unrealistic. The dicksand argument really took the cake on ridiculousness and unbelievability.

Those conversations just do not exist in the real world. And the stories were just as ludicrous, especially with the skipping of important details.

Just absolutely horrific writing all around, horrific.
