This movie is bad. I'll say it right now. This movie is so bad, I almost can't describe how much it melted my brain for a few hours so that I nearly lost the ability to speak English, write, or do anything productive. It had destroyed my brain so much because of just how awful it was.
There are so many pointless scenes in this movie. There was all of the sex scenes that only seemed to be there for padding and just kept repeating the same action over and over again (and re-using one of the scenes but rearranging the clips so that it looks different!), the infamous tuxedo and football scene, and then of course, just all of these plotlines that you think are going to lead to somewhere but never do. I think Lisa's mother's breast cancer was the best example of this. It's brought up a lot, but it doesn't impact the story at all. It's just there to serve as pointless filler for Lisa and her mom to talk about during their numerous, also pointless talks.
The dialogue was awful. There were only two characters I can think of that were decent actors (Lisa's mom and the drug dealer) and everybody else couldn't emote like a normal being. Or talk like one for that matter. Topics can stray very easily, like during one scene where Johnny and Mark are talking about work, and after Johnny says he can't talk about his client due to confidentiality, he abruptly switches to asking Mark how his sex life is. Yeah... no it doesn't work that way.
And then the scenery switches were awful. It'd switch to random shots of San Francisco all the time, even when it didn't need to. It was like the movie had some kind of fetish with that city, and it was worse because there was also tons of really obvious green screen.
But despite how bad the movie was and how much it destroyed my brain, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it. It's bad. Real bad. And yet, it's a type of bad that I can't help but feel fascinated by. It's just so bad that I can't help but wonder how something so awful could possibly exist.
