Very Bad Things (DVD)

Are you easily shocked? If you are, then this is certainly not the film for you, as it it does not spare you from gory details or questionable actions. I first saw this film when it was released in 1998, but this weekend I watched it again, and I just have to review it for all of you here, because it is so good you have to watch it, as long as you are not prone to taking things too much to heart. At the time of release it really didn't create much publicity, but since it's general release it has gained a small cult like following. The film centres around the activities of Kyle Fisher (Jon Faverau) and his stag night before his impending marriage to his ...  Read the complete review

Taken as a serious thriller, which I presume many have done, Very Bad Things is a pretty shoddy and melodramatic affair. Whilst it may sometimes be difficult to discern, this is, in fact, a very, very dark comedy, that pokes fun at silly suburbanites and their pathetic indulgences. When a hooker is killed at a bachelor party weekend in Vegas, five men are faced with a choice - confess to the cops and hope for the best, or cover up the evidence. They choose the latter, and so open up an even bigger can of worms that results in a huge pile of bodies, broken friendships, and a whole world of hurt before the end credits hit. The film's main problem is that it ...  Read the complete review

Watched this one on Sky the other day and I'm still undecided as to whether or not I liked it or not. I thought perhaps writing an opinion on it might help so here goes. Very Bad Things is set around the stag night and wedding of Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau) and Laura Garrety (Cameron Diaz). Kyle goes to Vegas with 4 buddies for his stag night and things go very wrong. One of his friends accidentally kills the stripper while getting jiggy with her in the bathroom. Christian Slater's character takes charge and they decide to dispose of the body in the desert and clean up the evidence. But then a hotel security guy turns up and finds the body so Slater kills ...  Read the complete review

OK firstly the cast. Cameron Diaz who does pretty much nothing for a large amount of the movie. Christian Slater totally type cast as a mad idiot, one of the burglars from Home Alone (he's also in City Slickers), a guy who was in Alien Resurrection, a guy who was in Friends as a boyfriend. The grand total of 2 people whose names I knew & the rest were faces I half recognized from other films or TV. It's a movie about a drunken stag weekend in Vegas where one thing goes wrong and ruins lots of people's lives from that point onwards. I really can't see how the hooker was killed, she has something in the back of her head, obviously a drunken ...  Read the complete review

As the title of this film suggests, Very Bad Things is overflowing with people doing very bad things. The film stars Cameron Diaz who plays Laura Garrety who is getting married to Kyle Fisher, played by Jon Favreau. Laura is obsessed with her wedding day and won't let anyone or anything get in the way of her dream day. She loves her wedding day more than she loves her fiance. As with all weddings, the men have to have a 'stag night' so Jon and his buddies (Christian Slater, Daniel Stern, Jeremy Piven and Leland Orser) decide to go to Las Vegas for an unforgettable bachelor party. When in Vegas, all the men are happily drinking and snorting ...  Read the complete review
