Another 9 1/2 Weeks (1997)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I didn't realize that this was a sequel until minutes before seeing it. I just found it on the bottom 100 list and decided to see it because of that, so my judgment is based solely on it's own merits, without influence from the previous film. I must say that I don't think it deserves a place in the bottom 100, I actually liked the extremely dark, almost suicidal tone in the beginning but about 35 minutes in, the whole movie shifts direction completely, becoming some kind of "Eyes wide shut" parody. I found myself asking "why is this happening?" over and over again throughout the second act of the film but at least something was going on. The last part of the film was just dreary, a drawn out sequence of nothing with dialog long winded leading nowhere, I was so close to just skipping to the end. Love in Paris (or Another 9 and a half weeks) could have been good but ended up being totally and utterly meh.

This is for any viewer that may go against their better judgment and watch this, 1: because the first one is pretty decent for what it is, or 2: 'cause Angie Everhart is uniquely attractive. (Quick capsule side-track - less than 3% of the world's XX-chromosomed inhabitants have naturally occurring blonde hair and redheads via genetic fusion will be gone by the year 2100, say some geneticists). I am a member of the latter category (and the first one too, actually). Heed my warning, even if the hottest woman in the world was in this movie, it has no redeeming value whatsoever. It is an incoherent mess of seemingly random scenes shot, and then edited blindly together in an attempt to make a story of it, I don't think an actual script exists. Children could make a better film than this.Do yourself a favor and tour the stop signs or traffic lights on foot in your local area rather than watching this abysmal turd of a movie.

Serious, getting to see Paris Hilton in the embarrassing positions she winds up in during this film makes it all worthwhile. Seriously, who else deserves to take it in the face and have everyone see who's got $17.99 to spare? Maybe Nicole Ritchie, but Paris is the ultimate "I'm famous cuz I'm famous, but I'm really just a rich, talentless air-headed tramp" skank gets hers, at the hands (and camera) of her ex-boyfriend, and in various naughty positions to boot. You will not regret being witness to...um, wait, this isn't One Night in Paris? Oops. My bad.*grin*

This film truly bored me. Roarke looks terrible, Angie Everhart's character went nowhere. The storyline is incomprehensible.
