Funny Games (2007)

In 7 words or less: Two preppy punks terroize townies

What's it all About? Two preppy punks terroize townies.

Best bits? I was going to say the end credits but even they are ruined by a god awful soundtrack.

Did it make you think thoughts? Man this film sucks. My main beef is that I like to be entertained and enjoy a movie while I'm watching it. This film failed to fulfill either criteria. 

Get out of my house


The film started off poorly with horrible scenes that are just a static camera with the action taking place out of shot and only the dialogue running. Bleh. Although the acting is ok, there are quiet a few plot devices that don't work and the moments when one of the boys turns to camera and breaks the fourth wall, telegraphs what is going to happen. Oh yeah, the ending is awful. Meh. 

Would you watch it again? Ha ha....No

Rating (out of 100%): Apparently the film is supposed to relate to the middle classes fascination with violence depicted in the media and how they are oblivious to the atrocities tat go on in the world. Huh? I got none of that from this movie. Fail. I give Funny Games an unfunny, unenjoyable 15%
