Reviews for Very Bad Things
Berg is so in love with his escalating shock tactics that they quickly cease to shock.
...hollow, simple-minded and about as profound an experience as stepping in a pile of road kill.
The gross-out humor lacks edge, the guilt never kicks in, and the outrages are predictable. It's one flat brewski.
It's entertaining to a degree, but lacks all of the elements necessary to form a truly compelling motion picture.
...Berg's listless direction brings the film so little point of view that it doesn't much matter who lives or dies.
Berg ... brings wit, energy and a twisted kind of joy to a story that's little more than a tasteless anecdote.
Peter Berg's Very Bad Things isn't a bad movie, just a reprehensible one.
