Terrible

This is quite possibly the worst piece of cinematic trash I have ever had the misfortune to witness. Thank God I didn't actually pay to watch any of it by either renting it or seeing it at the theater. I've seen better acting at high school plays and musicals and the scripting was so bad, it seemed like they were making it up on the spot. I think that the only highlight for me was a scene where Paris Hilton gets slapped, however she quickly ruins any further pleasure with her wooden acting (an insult to wood) and even more about two scenes later when she thinks that it's sexy when she finds out her ex lover killed her current lover. What I want to know is who was the idiot who read the screenplay and decided to dump money into trying to make this train wreck? I was fortunate enough that I didn't further burn out my eyes by watching any more of it - I caught it when I flipped the channel to it and had I not been distracted by some other things, I probably would have watched even less of it than I did. What a waste celluloid.
