So I Married An Axe Murderer

Written 5 January 2006

Warning: This film review reveals most of the plot of the movie.

Sometimes I just wonder why on Earth a movie is even made. I mean, what were the people who funded the movie thinking? I think the movie is supposed to be funny, but I am not sure. Then again, it might be serious, but maybe not. There seems to be no point, but is there?

There are the Scottish parents, seriously messed up, who are so weird it just doesn't make any sense. Harriet is a butcher, and she's also an axe murderer. She's very insane, but the main character, Charlie, is determined to make the relationship work in spite of everything. You see, he's tried many different women, and always finds something wrong, an excuse to break up. He's become convinced the reasons are in his mind, and thus ignores, at first, the signs that his new girlfriend is not what she seems.

Mike Meyers, normally a reasonably funny guy, plays both the father and the son. He does improv in the film, and it is totally out of place. The jokes are stale and forced, and the comedy is about as low and stupid as I've seen.

I don't have much more to say about this movie, as there is absolutely nothing good to say about it. This video isn't even worth the rental fee.
