1.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Idea Executed Poorly, August 20, 2000

By 

Anne (Boston, Ma) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Brutal Truth [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The actual plot of this movie was not that bad, but the casting and dialogue really destroyed any chance this movie had for being watchable. Christina Applegate is a good actress, but she has a very small role. The storyline strayed here and there and never successfully satisfied the viewer's curiosity. The only aspect that kept my interest was Moon Unit Zappa's performance, as a quick-witted and lonely lesbian. If you like Moon Zappa, get the movie; otherwise, save your money, and your time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Christina Applegate did not star in this movie, April 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Brutal Truth (DVD)

Christina Applegate was on screen for a total of about 10 minutes. While that may work for Marlon Brando in Superman it did not work here for Christina. This is a very pretentious, predictable mish mash that actually stars a bunch of people better suited for an Ed Wood production. This is another example of a movie trying to get milage from a performer with name recognition, no matter how small her part. The same was done in "From Dusk 'Til Dawn 2", starring Tiffany Amber Thiessan. She was in that movie for about 5 minutes, then killed off. Don't fall for it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many flashbacks..., October 2, 2002

By 

Wendy (Seattle, Washington United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brutal Truth [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What starts off as something that seems like it might be interesting becomes all too boring and contrived. You can see where it's going almost immediately. A group of reunited high school buddies in their late twenties/early thirties gather at the request of their friend, Emily (Christina Applegate). They go to her parent's summer home in the mountains. A cast including Molly Ringwald(a chain smoking nag married to one of Emily's friends) Moon Zappa, and some no names. But alas...they get there and Emily is no where to be found. Two of the gals are sisters, one is very pregnant. There is alot of mystery about who is the father. Everyone gets drunk and stupid and finally goes to sleep. One earthquake later and they are stuck on a mountain with a corpse (guess who?)Fake forced dialogue,no real "connection" between these so-called "great friends," lots of arguments, affairs, secrets, and way too many flashbacks to a night 9 months ago where a terrible thing happened at a party, is too much to take! While this movie had potential it seemed like they rushed to get the movie out and everyone had just memorized their lines. The one airhead in the movie, a gal called "Vanilla" was the only one,ironically, who seemed able to act. These friends even kill a dog (accidentally) in a dog-napping attempt that they hope will result in reward money so that they can buy some pot! Save your two hours for a different movie. You may be disappointed in this one!
