Movie 43 plot
"The biggest cast ever assembled for the most outrageous comedy ever made."
'Movie 43' is a comedy consisting of several short films, each with its own director and many famous actors. Some stories are; A psychopathic mother (Naomi Watts), who suffers from borderline, and her husband (Liev Schreiber) teach their son (Jeremy Allen) at home, but subject him to bullying. A woman (Kate Winslet) goes on a blind date with a man (Hugh Jackman) and learns that he has a weird birth defect, after which she goes completely crazy. A coach (Terrence Howard) of an all-black basketball team in the 1950s gives his players advice that is clearly not politically correct. A beautiful woman (Halle Berry) plays a game of truth or dare in a restaurant.

Well, I went into this completely blank, then had a great time with some scenes (the one with the great Jason Sudeikis as annoying Batman I probably laughed the most, but the one with Chloë Grace Moretz on her boyfriend's beige couch was also don't miss it, and Kate Winslet was great of course), and then find out via Wikipedia that this movie ranks as one of the worst of all time?!? "This movie had no heart", "the Citizen Kane of awful", " the sheer soul-sucking badness of the cringe-inducing Movie 43 " because of that Tampax commercial? "NOW LEAK PROOF!"
By the way, I haven't read all the previous 181 posts, so what I'm telling you now may already be known, but there are two versions circulating with different "frame scenes": in the version I've seen it's about three guys who use the " urban legend" Movie 43, but there is also a version in which screenwriter Dennis Quaid takes film boss Greg Kinnear hostage to "pitch" him all ideas for a movie to be produced.

huh.
Very bizarre that so many well-known actors have gathered for this, and all of them play something silly. I still don't know if they got paid for it or just kind of volunteered, but this doesn't do justice to their status.
Points with such a well-known cast, because it makes it a bit more fun to watch. No matter how some actors make a fool of themselves, it is comical and the film is sometimes nice and dry. Too bad nothing really makes sense.
Quite a few random things that really don't make any sense. This makes the story itself less interesting to follow and it is sometimes even boring. Only the supercast knows how to lift the film to a higher level.

A twelve-episode anthology film, directed by twelve directors and performed by fifty actors, including highly celebrated names. That must be something nice. Uh, yes it should, but it's actually quite disappointing.
The films are notable for their gross humor. Not surprising with producer and director Peter Farrelly at the helm, who is not exactly known for his subtle films. And if you know that he only gave the directors of the films the message that the films had to be funny and cross-border, then it is not surprising that the humor of Movie 43 can often be found below the belt.
Flat humor is nice, but when the tacky jokes last for an hour and a half, there are no subtleties and the storyline is often roughly cut short, a tired and dissatisfied feeling sets in.
The videos are all original and fun. However, most don't build a basic creative idea impressively. Most movies let go of the basic idea quickly and get bogged down in gross and silly humor. The end result is therefore almost without exception rather thin.
An hour and a half full of gross humor packed in promising absurd plots that barely develop. The banal humor is nice in principle, but the persistent excess is just tiring.
