The Paperboy

Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron

It's hard to know what to make of this one. We get the chance to watch rich, talented hollywood stars act like the lowest form of Florida trailer trash. If you've ever wanted to see NK piss on a jellyfish-bitten victim here's your chance. Or copping the thrill of John Cusack as a drooling, greasy-haired psycho-killer.

Other than those highlights it's hard to know what these people thought they were doing with this film. Unlike, say, Winter's Bone or Frozen River which also dip into the nether reaches of American society, this film seemed to have complete contempt for its characters. So, naturally, so do we. I guess this was made as a public service...it gave the audience the opportunity to feel superior to these disgusting slime.

Well done chaps. Tennis anyone?
