Coco Chanel (2008 TV Movie)

Started off great, but plummeted due to several major flaws

[5/10 · 22 April 2012]

I was enjoying the first half of the movie, but it started to drag by hour 2 with still some time on the clock...but it was a made-for-TV movie, so...

The younger Chanel was great, but Shirley MacClaine was a horrible choice for the older Coco. She may be a great actress but cannot pull off being a Frenchwoman! I cringed whenever she opened her mouth.

Finally, after the movie I did some research about the real Coco and the movie totally glossed over her antisemitism, homophobia, and pro-Nazism. It is hard for me to think of her as icon after learning that. Of course, the irony is that Chanel is now headed by two Jewish men whom she previously derided.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001)

Gross, not cute.

I thought this movie would be fun to watch as it sounded like a great parody idea, but this movie has to rank as one of the top 10 worse movies I have ever seen in my life. It is not a funny parody in the slightest and instead is disgusting and revolting.
