Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Ready to Wear (1994)

It's an "everyone's a winner!" situation when trying to figure out which of the performances was the worst, but I think the prize would have to go to Kim Basinger: she was the most unconvincing out of at least a dozen ill-conceived efforts.

Truth be told, I feel a little mean pointing out poor acting when the material itself was completely stupid. As a whole, it was a boring, wandering, absolute MESS. This would be the "leave off my résumé" project if I were in any way involved.

I'm also pretty sure that there was a "no second takes" policy on the set. Every single scene seemed like a trial run of ad-libbing -- I really don't think any bit worked. And whose stupid idea was the running-gag of stepping in dog shit? It didn't make any sense at all.

In case it's not clear: I hated this movie.
