Blades: 3.5

Review: Just when I thought this fictitious day of spending money and placing a price tag on emotions could not get anymore pathetic, this film with most of Hollywood’s second-hand, low rate actors are cast in is released. Depicting why most folks go through the wasted trouble of feeling loved for a day most of the relationships are shallow and a waste of time. These characters were either lonely and desperate, blind to a bad relationship, or focused on the wrong points of being in love. George Lopez received too many scenes and proved once again to be a corny actor. Most who have nothing better to do than waster $12 will sit and hug and cry in this film; the rest will find lives and skip this film. I was more annoyed at the foolishness portrayed by having a boy run out of a house naked because the girlfriend was to meet him but her mom showed up instead. Annoyed that another character was a phone sex operator but took calls even on her 9-to-5 job. WTF? Moonlighting means you do another job on the side while NOT at the main job to avoid being caught. Either way, there were very few chuckles to be had, but I’m sure I had them for different reasons than what the screenwriter may have hoped. 3.5 blades for a lukewarm film that left very little to be desired. It will not be part of my collection.
