Perfume is a Stinker! (unintentional comedy rating 10 of 10)
7 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
this movie was just awful. totally predictable with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. the music was even worse, and the acting was atrocious. (and why do all the characters in movies set in France speak with British accents?) watching Dustin Hoffman phone it in is so depressing. there are a lot of shots of women's breasts, which offers little relief from the tedious story. The denouement depicts the serial murdering protagonist bewitching thousands of people with his perfume made of dead girls, transforming them from a murderous mob into a giant undulating group sex orgy. The capper is Alan Rickman trying to dramatically confront the hero/murderer in the foreground, while naked bodies mechanically pump away in the background.

i wish i could have my money and my two-and-a-half hours back. the budget of this movie could have fed a lot of homeless people. hopefully the producers of this bloated blight will hire some comedians to do the commentary track when it is immediately released on DVD.

unfortunately, IMDb does not offer a rating of '0'.
