Reviews
On January 7, 2006, Scott Weinberg scoffed at www.dvdtalk.com that the movie This Really Bad Movie with Sandra Bullock who can be seen naked ( "That Really Awful Sandra Bullock Movie Where She (Kinda) Shows Her Boobs" ) call. It offers "standard elements of the plot" that are "thrown" onto the screen and tells the same story for the 3,000,000th time. Sandra Bullock, who is charming in better films, appears irritated and bored.
Film-Dienst wrote that the film was “just as striking as it is simple-minded” , that it “only met stale thriller and romance standards” and that “its South American staff were degraded to second-class actors” . Only “a nude scene by the star Sandra Bullock” arouses “interest in this outdated and disappointing film” .
