Very Bad Things Couldn't Be Better



With the similarly themed The Hangover doing the rounds I'd thought I'd check out Peter Berg's Very Bad Things. It's still a great black comedy that fortunately managed to find a great cast. Everybody shines, especially Cameron Diaz as the obsessive Bride to be.

It's been so long that I've seen it I couldn't remember the plot, beyond the basic set up. The narrative twists and turns in the most unexpected and enjoyable ways and it's great to see how simple decisions of selfishness can backfire in very bad ways.
Very black, very funny and very wrong. Great.
