Scorched (I) (2003)
6/10
Let's egg the house....

Warning: Spoilers
Three bank tellers are fed up of there existence. One because she hasn't done anything of. One since Clueless, one, because he now realises White Men Can't Jump, and the other, because he lives with the chief elf from The Santa Clause.

Plus, their boss was one of the missing crew from The Blair Witch Project, so now they've just realise that that was a hoax too.

This is one of those movies that tries really hard to be farcical, but ends up just a watchable mess, thanks to the performances from all involved. The film is set into three different subplots, one involving a dead duck and a worthless appearance from Cleese. Another has Silverstone wanting revenge on her ex, and the final one is about two guys wanting more, but one having a conscious.

Cook is in it for no other reason than to divert Cleese from Harrelson, and even though she is a great actress, she doesn't need to be in this.

So all in all, it's perfectly watchable, but it all ends up being just. Little bit too pointless.
