	Bad Thing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Bad Thing, written with capital letters for added emphasis (and with the words similarly emphasised when spoken) is something which has negative consequences for the subject under discussion.
		Very Bad Thing is an emphasized form, often seen as its plural Very Bad Things.
		Since in these two sources the Bad Things include death, in the U.S. the term has come to be a sort of ironic euphemism for a serious problem whose consequences would be lengthy and horrifying to describe.

	Very Bad Things (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Very Bad Things, in keeping with its finger-wagging, moralistic title, raises this level of crime and punishment to hysterical, self-castigating farce.
		The really bad thing here isn't the clueless male characters' boozing, whoring, coke snorting, and serial killing -- it's pert and driven Laura (Cameron Diaz, minus hair gel and sunny disposition), the bride-to-be of colorless stockbroker Kyle (Jon Favreau, long-suffering to the point of inertia).
		Very Bad Things indulges in its title indiscretions and punishes itself for them, but the film never comes close to understanding the underlying good and evil.

	O.F.C.S.: The Online Film Critics Society
		Very Bad Things was routinely described as “offensive,” “violent,” and “masochistic.” Though this vocabulary is exercised to disapprove, it would recommend an exploitation film released two decades prior.
		Very Bad Things is currently imprisoned in repeat airings on Comedy Central, where it exists in a severely truncated form (in another decade this film may have been banned in some countries).
		Very Bad Things is endorsed by the terms used angrily to describe it; the more violent and less tasteful the film the better.

	TNMC Movies: The Club Reviews: Very Bad Things
		I was utterly appalled, and actually wished everyone had died so we wouldn’t have to witness the final scene, which once and for all removes the line that borders between shock and poor taste.
		Very bad things had all of the potential to be a really good bad movie, but it's really tough to enjoy with your wife sitting next to you reminding you how awful every scene is. Think Heather's only far worse and far more outlandish.
		I'm still disturbed from the things that happened and I'm kind of disappointed that Cameron Diaz didn't die, because she wouldn't stop whining.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Very Bad Things (1998)
		"Very Bad Things," is the most delightfully morbid film of the year, a movie that goes so far over the deep end with its outrageousness and violence that I couldn't help but be won over by the material.
		"Very Bad Things," which is actor Peter Berg's feature film directing debut, is the shockingly perverse and wicked comedy that, "There's Something About Mary," wanted to be.
		During the second act of the film, some of the fun was beginning to slightly dwindle due to so much death, which was beginning to undermine the humor, but it eventually recouped itself with a climax that has to be seen to be believed.

	CNN - Review: Darkness in 'Very Bad Things' nearly works - December 3, 1998
		That leads to a truly gruesome, highly unamusing scene in which the buddies press their weight against the bathroom door as the victim pounds on it, screaming and gurgling himself to death.
		It's too bad, then, that so many talented actors have wasted their energy on this thing.
		"Very Bad Things" is a smorgasbord of illegal, vile, and bloody.

		It's hard to know exactly how to feel about Very Bad Things without knowing exactly what Berg thought he was doing—and since the film betrays no real sense of purpose on its own, one is left to speculate.
		Very Bad Things may seem dangerous if you don't look at it too closely, but really it's just a series of tricks.
		Very Bad Things is not so much an immoral movie as one made in a moral vacuum, as if the director left his conscience on the shelf when he went to work in the morning.

	Very Bad Things: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Making his directorial debut with Very Bad Things, writer-director Peter Berg creates a dark comedy in which situations are resolved in the worst possible ways.
		While the characters are shown getting drugged and drunk in their hotel suite, one takes the prostitute into the restroom where they begin to have sex and where a sudden twist of events launches the rest of the story into repeated attempts of covering up an unintentional murder.
		Alluding more to the spectator's morbid side than to a genuine curiousity (of how the conflicts will be resolved), Very Bad Things relies exclusively on its capacity to shock (due to its graphic nature), and to be utterly "unpolitically correct" by building its comedy from the practical immorality of its characters.

	VERY BAD THINGS
		Black comedy: Things spiral out of control and progressively worsen as several friends try to cover up the accidental death of a stripper at a bachelor party.
		The one thing she's not happy with is Kyle's choice of friends, and the fact that they want to take him out for one last night of freedom before the wedding only furthers her dislike toward them.
		As it stands, while I understand what the filmmakers are striving for, they don't manage to balance that fine line of comedy and violence, and the picture consequently lands in the realm of the unfunny with a thud.

		The first step to making a film that has so many repulsive moments in it is to have a lead character that is good, decent and worth watching.
		Diaz has some funny moments as the fiancee who's waited and prepared her whole life for her wedding day, but she turns evil as well when it looks like the boys are going to ruin her plans.
		Though she was fairly obsessive about her big day, I really don't think she would turn to murder because things weren't picture perfect.

		And in the case of "Very Bad Things," what they have no respect for is bad taste.
		Basically a study in the evils of men in groups, it follows a gang of not very lovable white-collar Joes who head to Vegas for a bachelor party that will feature all those favorite boy vices – alcohol, cocaine, gambling, and sex with "cheap hotel whores," as the movie puts it.
		But boys will be boys, which is to say they will be bad: One of the lesser of them, a loser played by Jeremy Piven, accidentally kills the prostitute in the bathroom.

		This made it very confusing at points, and silly because Stern and Piven were supposed to be brothers but looked more like their buddies than like each other.
		C: The only thing I at all even remotely liked was Christian Slater’s character, because he was so good at being sleazy, and because he didn’t scream all the time.
		This movie is just so undeniablly bad that, where as at this point I would usually say wait for the video release, I will not.

		The men who populate Very Bad Things, the writing-directing debut of actor Peter Berg (The Last Seduction), represent the clear, lethal distillation of the American dream.
		When the woman is accidentally killed and they conspire to cover up her death, the slight moral foundation under these rootless men's feet suddenly gives way.
		Whatever savage commentary Peter Berg is making about the hidden rage of American guyville gradually loses its impact as Very Bad Things progresses from one outrageous episode to the next, dulling the satire's overall impact.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Very Bad Things"
		Having said that, the ending was ironically hilarious, and the overall audacity of the cast, and most of all, Peter Berg was a sight to behold.
		This movie is only for people who appreciate dark, dark humour under very bad, horrible circumstances.
		Bad criticism almost prevented me from seeing this dark little film, which I thought lived up to its title, and then some.

		liding back and forth between "fl" and "comedy" like a badminton shuttlecock, the bipolar "Very Bad Things" is enough to give you whiplash.
