Good start, but then it gets ruined
As Good As It Gets
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
One of the most horrible movies ive ever seen.this is not a comedy. and the dialogs were horrible...
what a load of rubbish. It got a few laughs in the beginning with the humourless clown and his bad attitude and poor clown skills, but quickly went downhill from there. This movie is somehow even worse than the scary movie series which is also barely tolerable. I stopped watching at the point that ripping apart a man's genitals is presented as a humorous event. Had this been a clown ripping out a woman's genitalia, and everyone finding that hilarious I am pretty sure the movie would have been banned everywhere, but because its a man, its just fine, as men are objects to be abused and laughed at. Any time a man gets hurt or injured in a movie its a source of amusement, and any time a woman gets hurt or injured its a source of tragedy, even if its just her precious feelings. It's crass, cheap and offensive. That's why I gave this a 1/10 and didn't bother watching to the end.
A clown (stand up comedian Ross Noble) comes back from the dead to haunt those who took his life during a fatal party mishap.This film is a dark comedy at times, especially in the beginning. As it goes, the movie becomes more of a gross-out comedy involving genitals. That is unfortunate, but may still appeal to some audiences.Star Tommy Knight is well-known in the UK, and certainly has the potential of being an international star. Co-star Gemma-Leah Devereux is much less well-known, but possibly has even more potential. As far as movies go, she has "the look".It was well played using Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms", though it is unclear if they were trying to use it in its double entendre sense (methinks not). Appropriately, Cutting Crew is an English band (though it would have been even better if they were Irish).Bloody Disgusting wrote that the movie was "destined to become a cult classic" and carried "heavy replay value". This is doubtful, but not impossible.
The film opens with Stitches the clown have doggy-style sex with a fully clothed young lady. This pretty much sets the tone of the movie.The plot line is pure and simple: mess with a clown and he will come back for you.The film is neither graphic or terrifying or moving or titillating or extraordinary in any way. But its strength lies in the fact it doesn't pretend to be anything different.About ninety percent of the budget is blown on the death scene effects - which are pretty standard but entertaining - so the rest of the film weighs on Ross Noble and the cast of unknown, young actors who give great performances. The story delves into their characters just enough so you invest in them.The film is almost two stories one about a killer clown, the other about teenagers house party.Nothing special here, but that really isn't a bad thing. If you like horror and fancy an old school slasher flick to burn up an odd 90 minutes then this is perfect!
