Review of Very Bad Things (1998) by Andrew M — 14 Aug 2009

This is how you pull off a dark comedy! Brutal, vicious, with characters you love to hate. I don't know what it is about Christian Slater, but the man plays a good psycho, he just has that air about him, an evilness you can't deny.

Cameron Diaz play the ultimate bitch bride, and almost every scene she's in you want to strangle her. The rest of the cast does fine in their roles, but those two steal the show, as does Jeremy Piven and Daniel Stern's increasingly emotionally taxed brothers.

While not the best dark comedy I've seen ( a title given to Dr. Strangelove), this one is definitely worth a watch just for the sheer insanity of it all.
