Don't Do It

Wow, this was absolute crap from start to finish. The plot was horrible and it was so very predictable I'm so sorry I even rented it. What really grinds my gears is that they wasted Heather Graham's time. She was totally wasted in this movie. Honestly, the only reason I picked the movie up was to watch her in it. But the role was wasted. I feel bad. She was so good in 'From Hell' along side Johnny Depp. She was vibrant and so focused. This movie she was just annoying. Too bad. Anyway, It was bad. Plain and simple. I wish that they could have had some sort of twists. Or something! And I mean honestly, a girl walks in a bar and all the sudden her and this guy is 'spooning' on a couch in the bar? LAME. If you like movies that have a lot of camera jumps and story switches then go for it.

A cast comprised of three romantically interwoven couples, with an additional pair who spend a good portion of this film discussing their failed relationships, deals hopelessly with a jumbled script and lacklustre direction, eventually sinking beneath the force of hollow purpose. Some of the players, notably Sarah Trigger, Sheryl Lee, and Esai Morales, produced some crackle for their dialogue, but this studentish production softened the effect. This type of scenario, involving cleverly coincidental connections among the cast, is more commonplace today than when this work was released (1994); in this instance, however, all chance of freshness was broken down by weak architectonics.

Well another masterpiece from the maverick that is Eugene Hess. When I first saw this film I thought - "Yeah, not bad could be better". However the second time I watched it I realised the true meaning for it in today's ever contrasting society. The juxtaposition of humour and drama bode poorly to give the audience a whole disappointment for the film. Since I've only seen the film once I can't make a rate it therefore I would qualify it for a rating of 2 out 10. Although this may be true, the colloquial use of dialogue and constant contamination of James LeGross a.k.a The Elephant Man brings in a truly masterful work of art that can be depicted as a film worthy of the rating 10 out of 10. It is in my true feeling that it deserves an Oscar or rather a Razzie award for the worst sounding film ever. Despite the abysmal acting there were areas of real talent and promise, which should be mentioned. Sound amongst other things were upon the most achieving I have had the ability to hear. For this it deserves some award to accommodate the appreciative writings of credits. The plot is relatively simple combining few words with crazy brilliantly adapted lyrics of music. Yes, and that is another part I must comment on the music it was appalling. So at best I would give this film 10 out of 10 and at worst 1 out of 10 so really it should be give 7 out of 10 hence forth I would agitatedly recommend this film. In conclusion it is my belief to award this film 4 out of 10 and consequently I wouldn't recommend it.

PS I think it is out on DVD so get it.

Don't worry about any spoilers from me, I like providing what I honestly felt after watching the movie. Obviously, not every body on planet Earth is a fan of Heather Graham and I myself cannot say that I truly am, but I actually enjoyed this ditty of a movie and found the performances from all the actors throughout the film quite entertaining and very truthful. I think the last time I saw her in a movie was Boogie nights. Can you guess my age? Ha ha ha! Anyways, I highly recommend this movie if you simply need a nice Friday evening with your favorite person and you simply want to be entertained with a nice cozy flick to stimulate the senses that won't leave you hanging in dumb land.

This movie was on late night t.v. tonight, and I was so unimpressed with it that I had to come here and find out the title so I would never make the mistake of renting it. When I found out that the title was Don't Do It! It suddenly made it all worth while. The cast is deceiving. There are multiple names that you might associate with movies of integrity, but don't be fooled. I have never seen Heather Graham give a more melodramatic and unconvincing performance in my life, and that includes Dream a Little Dream. It is mind boggling that a movie can be so dry and unrealized. The premise is actually potentially very good, but it seemed that no one's heart was in it at all. Perhaps this is because the dialogue was poorly written, the actors were apathetic, and the director was satisfied with performances that were more vacant than an empty hotel. Oh well, if you come across this one, look no further than the title on the box. Unless, of course, you are a film maker and you want an advanced course of what not to do. That was what kept me watching, and boy do I ever feel enlightened.
