Review of Love and Other Disasters (2006) by Amy P — 23 Feb 2008

Someone threw random snippets of an assortment of money-spinning chick-flicks into a bag, gave it a good shake, and then hurled them at a DVD to see which bits would stick. I like postmodern pastiche homage as much as the next girl, really I do -- but this isn't it. this is just derivative.

But here's a fun game to make the viewing-time seem fractionally less interminable: see if you can identify which less-crap films it's 'borrowing' from; just don't try counting them if you're reliant on your fingers and toes to keep track, because you'll run out.

Poor Brittany Murphy. she's trying so hard, and yet it's still just so so ghastly.
