Date Reviewed: 13 April 2009 | Is Cruel World worth the $8 Amazon.com is currently asking for it? Probably not, even though that's cheaper than a single ticket at most multiplexes. The dollar-for-dollar value here is terribly low, though the movie might be worth watching at a party for the potential of a funny group commentary that is sure to become more entertaining than the movie itself. Still, as a standalone feature, this one offers no redeeming value. The premise is almost interesting but handled poorly. The script, and the characters it creates in particular, is bland. No one word can describe the deficiency of acting talent that went into this production, each egregious performance instead demanding a careful analysis of what makes it inept, and comparatively worse than the one before. Overall, this is a movie that may someday have its cover art in the dictionary as an example of some word defined as "1. The moment when Hollywood jumped the shark. 2. The lowest possible level of incompetence, as in 'Johnny really Cruel World-ed his spelling test with twenty wrong out of twenty.'" Echo Bridge's Blu-ray release of Cruel World is itself rather cruel and crude. The feature sports a decent-at-best 1080p transfer, an uninspired, 2-channel lossless soundtrack, and no supplements. Even considering the low price, this one just isn't worth the money. (Read Full Review)
