The Final Cut
I do not find it difficult to see why this film was not initially screened for critics. But that just goes to show the admission on the part of the filmmakers that they knew what kind of movie they had made. It will ultimately find it's place, on DVD and shoved underneath the bed of your average college dormroom. And while it is not a film that will compete for Oscar's grace, it will find it's audience and make people laugh. A word to the wise: if you didn't like Scary Movie, you will not find much else to laugh at here.
The Upside:
Alyson Hannigan is attractive and has great natural comedic timing.
The Downside:
This one seems to be on the verge of being hilarious. And then it ends.
On the Side:
When Julia gets on a motorcycle to speed across town and meet her love, the stunt rider is a large black man. Hopefully this goof was intentional, though it was not funny at all.
Making the Grade:
The Story: F
The Acting: C+
Behind the Scenes: C-
Overall: D
