Film doesn't need to be French to be good, and believe me, my taste is quite wide. But it is not nearly wide enough to include a cliche-driven pathetic excuse of a suspense. You watch it and you see things you have seen hundreds of times before, and none done in any refreshing way. If you call a drowned person jumping back to life "classic suspense language" then I think we do have different expectations on what "classic" is.The film is so bad I could never watch it in its entirety. Man, I would take any of Cheech & Chong's movies over it any day, or even Dumb and Dumber. Now... those are classic!
Follow Ups:
you've elucidated your intellect better than a thousand other posts could have. "Dumb and Dumber" a classic. OK, Vic! (Perhaps Cheech and Chong movies are the cause.)
As for Fatal Atraction, I knew the film was headed for disaster when they showed a close up of the cute little rabbit. I said to myself if it shows up dead later they've played their hand. The fact that it showed up in the stew demonstrated that the film makers tasteless attempts to manipulate the audience with no concern for the suspension of disbelief exceeded my already very low expectations.
As for Dumb and Dumber, it is a laugh out loud unpretentious popcorn comedy. Any analysis of this movie only extends the joke to those making the analysis. Farts are funny. It's an irrefutable scientific fact.
Dumb & Dumber? Nawwww...
