Movie for Schmucks!!, 3 August 2010
Author: MoviegoerYes from United States

I don't think I have ever watched a worse movie in my whole life! The movie started at 7 and by 7:30 I was trying to get out of there! I did not hear anybody laugh throughout the whole movie and there were a lot of young adults and teenagers watching the movie but it was scary quiet in there, at the very least I knew I wasn't the only one hating the film. What hurts me the most is the two hours I lost and can never get back! I didn't pay for it and I am very glad about that! It is so disappointing how such great actors fell for such horrible script! I agree with all negative reviews posted, this is by far the biggest disappointment ever. Please don't waste ANY of your money on this crappy movie, wait for it to come out on TNT!!!
