Did I just watch the biggest flop in movie history?
Was bored, couldn't sleep, so I turned on the Encore Avenue channel from Movie Central. I watched the Warren Beaty movie TOWN & COUNTRY (2001). Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Andie McDowell (love me some Andie), Jenna Elfman, Natasha Kinski, Charleton Heston, etc.
Well to put it bluntly it sucked. I looked it up on IMDB to find out why it sucked so bad, no excuse for it really with that level of acting talent. I found out it cost 90 mil to make, and it only grossed just over 6 mil TOTAL.
That has got to be one of the biggest flops in movie history, no?
This film is a perfect example of what having weak writing can do to a production. Weak plot, annoyingly obtuse dialogue, bad horrible writing. It will sink you every time.
People in adult, take note of what I say. If you're ever looking to hire a writer, think twice about going with the CHEAPEST out there. No, think three or four times if you have to.
