Review of Walk of Shame (2014) by Ramona S — 26 Mar 2015
This film hinges on one inept joke: Good girls act appropriately, and all others are whores. Seriously, that out of date set of gender politics frames this entire film, and spawns most of the jokes as well.
Elizabeth Banks is giving it her all here, but it's hard to work with such a piteous script and this inept direction. The little that is good about this film relies in the great chemistry between Banks and Marsden, who seem to have a rock solid attraction, though formulaic in its approach.
Nobody saw this film; nobody bought it, lent it to a friend, or talked about it outside of berating its creators and stars. Not only does this film suck, but it's detrimental to women for its sexist depiction of them, and blatant sexualization as well.
Please don't see this film. No good will come of it.
