If you guessed that the kids are not, in fact, all right, then you would be correct! Go you!
Um this movie is about two ladies who love each other and they each have a baby with the same sauce and then those children grow up and decide they want to meet the man who donated the sauce.
I guess it is about families and how nothing is ever really perfect even if it looks like it is. This movie was nominated for some Oscars but I really don’t think it was the greatest thing ever. Maybe I have higher expectations for giving awards but I don’t think two straight girls kissing each other means you should get an Oscar. The story should be good also. And I felt this story was only so so.
I was kinda disappointed that this movie went to the ol’ standby of a lesbian doing it with a man, because you know all lesbians secretly want a man or whatever it is that people seem to think. I dunno. Is this true? Maybe I am pushing my own beliefs on it. But there is a part near the beginning where the ladies are watching gay man porn and the boy child finds it and asks them why they watch it, and Julianne Moore tells him that sexuality is fluid la la la and lesbian porn is usually two straight girls fakin’ it and I feel this was only there to wink wink nudge nudge and allow for the heterosexual sex later on.
Why couldn’t these kids just meet their sperm dad and be like hey he’s an ok guy and he could be part of their lives without doing it with one of their moms? I guess that is just not sexy enough. Or maybe is too challenging. I don’t know.
What do you think? Did anyone watch this? I’m kinda torn on how to feel about it. Also is Leisha Hailey some sort of secret boss of the lesbian world because she wasn’t even in this movie but there was a poster of her band in the daughter’s room and I kinda laughed at that. (Wait it turns out they had a song on the soundtrack, but still.)
Guys, if you know about horror movies you know that the virginal lady is always the one to survive. So it’s not really about the end, but how they get there.
I recorded this movie on a whim a few months ago. I couldn’t help myself. Who names a movie “Donkey Punch”, seriously.
While searching for the trailer to post here, I ended up watching a review of the trailer (people review trailers? Lazy.) and they were like “omg who is the audience for this?” and “omg it’s too weird”. It really wasn’t all that weird, it was more like what happens when things go wrong during sexy times on a boat. Kinda like 28 Days Later with bros and ladies with poor judgement instead of zombies and Cillian Murphy. Truthfully I was kinda surprised at how long it took to get sinister.
Basically three ladies are in Spain, I think to cheer up the one lady because she got dumped (this movie is British and sometimes it is hard to tell what the crap they are saying). They go drinking, find some dudes who are moderately handsome enough and go with them to their boat.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets out the crack pipe. Two of the ladies get all messed up and decide to do it with two of the guys (and another gets to watch… there are 4 guys, 3 girls. Clearly the dynamics are a bit off).
Surprise! The one with a slight facial deformity is evil! So is the brother! They trade off on one girl and the face guy ends up egging on the nerdy brother who punches the blonde one in the back of the head while they are doing it. Hard. She dies.
Now comes the part where they try to figure out what to do with the dead girl, and how to avoid taking the blame. The face guy is pretty dodgy (he’s the one with the crack) but the brother also ends up revealing himself to be a terrifying man. Oh p.s. they recorded the whole thing so there is a power struggle over who has the tape. No one really wants to go to jail here.
The girls are trying to escape the boys, who are getting more and more scary. There is a hilarious part where a lady shoots a flare right in a guy’s chest and he dies a spectacular, fiery death.
A little whiff of Patrick Batemen on this one, no? Anyway, this movie got 5.3 on IMDB but I think that was kinda harsh. It probably deserved more like a 6. I mean really, considering Black Hole got almost a 4. It’s only fair. I think if you are into horror movies it is ok. Not great, not terrible. Just ok.
Maine says: It’s like Lord of the Flies with a smaller budget, bros instead of kids, and lots of meth.
