Reply #52: Ferris Buehler's Day Off or True Lies [View All]

[jobycom]

To me, low budget films have to have expectations adjusted downward, so bad low budget films are more acceptable than horrible big budget films.

Both Ferris Buehler and True Lies used ever cinematic and literary cliche in the book and seemed to have been written by computer programs generated from focus groups. Every character is a stereotype, every punch line is slapstick, every emotional moment is taken straight out of a hundred other flicks of the same genres. Hated those films. True Lies had the added incentive of being completely racist and sexist (though, you know, I'm male, so I got a kick out of watching Jamie Lee and what's her name kicking each other in skirts in the back of the limo-- still bad filmmaking.)
