    Maso Menos

    by hollygolightly1

    Having read the book, I was thrilled when I saw a preview of the film. The screenplay closely parellels the novel, as it should with Bret Easton Ellis one of two screen writers for the film. Aside from that accuracy, the film was just a high patina of nothingness. I didn't hate it, but it was as shallow a film as each character was. Wait for DVD. Disappointing because simillar films, American Psycho and Less Than Zero, portraying the priveleged pissing away their existance were done with much more panache than this film. I'm done.

    after reading some of the reviews for this film, i have to ask...did anyone know anything at all about this movie before you saw it? I knew going in that it wasn't gonna be all that good. I knew it was hardcore with drugs, sex and nudity. And I went anyway. People need to educate themselves about what movies you are going to see, otherwise you should just stick with the obvious fast & furious or hannah montana. in other words...if you have never heard of it, you are probably going to be too closed minded to appreciate it.

    Awful piece of work! Easton Ellis's work seems very dated and the acting was at best average to below average. The younger cast was terrible! Chris Issak may have given the best performance in the work of c**p! I grew up in the 80's and loved Less than zero and even laughed through American Psycho, but this movie was absolutely nothing!
