Funny Games  (2007)

Never, never, never see this film. What an utter waste of time. I ALWAYS try to find ANY positive aspect of a film I've seen, and I can honestly say that this film has NONE. It is quite possibly the worst film I have seen in my life. Pointless, infuriatingly simpy in its execution and message and yet well acted by all, director Michael Haneke beats you, pounds you over the head with what I'm sure he considers his genius way of "subtly" sending a message to all of us "bloodthirsty" Americans. Give me a break. It tries to satirize "art" films, and yet this film itself is of the shittiest order of "art" films by attempting to do so! This is not entertainment, this is not educational, this is not slyly humorous, and most odiferous of all, this isn't worth the money spent to "remake", shot-for-shot (Wow. Way to rebel against the system, jackass) the original its based on. This is, however, not worth any more of my time that I've already wasted.

Well said!.. i made the mistake of caving in to curiosity and watching the "original" last week. If the idea was to induce fury at having wasted an afternoon watching what is ultimately,THE lamest,most simplistic ,patronising piece of shit ever.Then he succeeded. To go on to re-make it for "the American market"? PATRONISING beyond belief.. obscene..
