movie review - Facade

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1999.11.12

Fncking godawful. I rented this - despite my general rule never to see anything with Eric Roberts, due to his singular bad taste in movies - because it was suggested by someone at the little shop where I rent flicks.

It aims for zany and slick, but it achieves cheesy and insulting. Don't see this, or you'll regret it. Maybe not as much as a tattoo of Eric Roberts, but you'll regret it.

Not recommended.
