Movie Review - A Perfect Getaway


A Perfect Getaway - starring nobody notable (although Kiele Sanchez is alright looking) ... went from a somewhat interesting film to flatlining about 85% of the way through, which was the point of the plot twist ... in my opinion, this is a Made-for-(Sunday Afternoon)-TV movie, which somehow managed to sneak its way onto the big screen ... basically the plotline evolved from realistic/believable to "WTF?!" ... I've said before that the art of the plot twist has been lost ... this film was proof positive of that ... or maybe it's just me, because nothing surprises me anymore in "who done it?" kind of films ... I won't degrade this movie (like Lost In Translation or House of Flying Daggers), because it did keep my interest for a good percentage of it ... BUT, the plot twist REALLY killed it ... score 1/5

in some unrelated ... I've seen some good dramas and action movies over the past few years, but I haven't seen a good comedy in a long time, Along Came Polly was probably the last ... I guess There's Something About Mary and American Pie set the bar so high for comedies, that everything else just pales in comparison ...

You gotta go farther back for me. I think Ace Ventura is the last movie I actually laughed out loud at.
