The Worst Film Ever

The Age of Commercialism

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

With comedies, some things are funny and hit your funny bone just right and others don't for whatever reason. I particularly enjoy a tongue in cheek style dialog like the one in this movie. Travolta plays a self important weatherman on a cheesy news program and is so clueless, he becomes charming. I think this film is clever, campy, intelligent and sardonic and I loved it. I have seen it many times and it is still very entertaining. For the record it is crude and there are strippers, hit men, tacky sex scenes and some language but it is always making fun of itself so the crudeness is not really that offensive in my opinion. Lisa Kudrow and Travolta are truly funny together and the other actors add a lot to the film, they are so well cast. I looked up the writer of this film and wonder why he has not written more comedies- as he is really witty here.

A review from mattymatt4ever from Jersey City isn't helpful in reviewing Lucky Numbers. Matty gives it a 7 while the average voter gives it a 4.9.It isn't a bad film, but shallow. Definitely below average. So the average around 4.9 is maybe more appropriate than a higher number; certainly 7 is 'way beyond the range.What can you expect of a film that has Michael Moore in it. That alone knocks it down at least two full points.You get what you pay for, so don't pay any money for this one. See it free, and even then you are spending your precious time, more than enough payment. Better yet, avoid ALL movies associated with Michael Moore.

Well, well, well...Many people were curious what would be Travolta's follow-up stinker to his previous MEGA-stinker, "Battlefield Earth: The Saga Of A Dumb Hollywood Scientologist". And he didn't disappoint: "Lucky Numbers" is a piece of crap, not quite the kind of highly enjoyable garbage like that little intellectual exercise written by "Elron" Hubbard, but nevertheless trash of the highest order. Not to be enjoyed in any way, but marveled.1: the movie was utterly unfunny. 2: it was supposed to be a comedy. 1 + 2 = an embarrassment to all involved, to the viewer and to the maker of this crap.The plot is supposedly based on true events, yet so much in this movie smells of phoniness. It lacks realism. Besides, any film that has Michael Moore (a bad propaganda-movie maker and even worse actor and director) in its list of cast members can't have much chance of being quality stuff.Having realized after the first 10 minutes that this movie is going to be relentless in its pursuit of unfunniness, I was half-hoping that Travolta would once again introduce the concept of "leverage" into the plot. (Leverage was an essential tool used by aliens in "B.E.", riveting stuff, I assure you.) I thought maybe John's character could try to find out what Roth's character likes to eat and send him on a quest for rat - as happened in the afore-mentioned bomb.Forget his movies for a second if you can - and something tells me that LN is easy to forget (or at least advisable). The only thing I want to know now is how such a brilliant mind, such as Travolta undoubtedly has, can learn to fly an airplane? Is he an idiot savant? Or is learning to fly much easier than I thought? (MUCH easier.) Dear John, go back to your plans of making a sequel to your wonderfully inept "Battlefield Earth" saga. All us fans of that Edwoodsian mega-flop are praying (even though I'm an atheist!) that you make that follow-up stinker - and you promised you would!

Adam Resnick? Fresh off a Pulitzer Prize perhaps? Hardly. Do not rent or see this movie. Just do not do it. It is the most totally uninspired, totally worthless piece of tripe to rub off the hands of Nora Ephron ever.And Nora? Nora! Nora! What do you think you're doing? Only making money, bringing home a paycheck? OK, fair enough - but is the best you can do? Really? No one believes you, Nora. Harry/Sally and then Seattle - and since then? Exactly. A two hit wonder? DUH.There's no risk of plot spoilers here because there's nothing to spoil. Travolta, Kudrow, Michael Moore????? Ed O'Neill, Bill Pullman encoring his performance as Daryl Zero and absolutely nothing more, a cast of thousands and a waste of ammo.According to the IMDb this turkey cost 65 cool ones to make and only made back ten of them. That's about as unlucky numbers as you can get.It's a shame the IMDb don't allow a user rating of zero because a '1' implies a movie has at least some value, and this one has nothing, absolutely nothing.Sit down, heck why worry about a premise, just write stuff as it doesn't come to you, make it up as you go along, introduce dei ex machina like a swarm of locusts - who cares?The losers who backed this movie care. They're not likely to put their money on Resnick or Ephron ever again. Right move if they do it. You do the right thing too: see something else. Anything. It can't get this bad. The odds are against it. Does it matter this is 'based' on a real life story? 'Hey sorry the movie sucked but did you know it's based/inspired on a real life story?' Whack!
