The Bonfire of the Vanities

By about 15 minutes into the movie we had deducted that it was terrible, but mostly because of terrible acting and cinematography - it was like they were allergic to having the camera at eye-level, but were having a sale on unnecessarily extreme angles and dolly zooms. Then we read about how at the time it an epic box office fail and attracted a lot of negative reviews and criticisms. Deservedly so.
Two thumbs down - more like Trash-fire of Vanities. You think Kim Cattrell's accent was terrible then you get hit with the hot mess called Maria who had an insanely bad accent and was casually super racist.
