Caffeine (2006)
1/10
British humor?

Mostly cringeworthy.

The majority of the actors were clearly not British with bad accents, but that's not what made the movie bad. That would just be the reliance on vulgar language and crude situations to make for a storyline.

I wanted to smack the actors most of the time and tell them to grow up and get back to work. For instance, the waitress who ignored her senile grandmother - who was especially irritating in her role.

Not sure why Katherine Heigel chose to be in such a juvenile and formulaic movie, but it must've been early in her career.

There was never an opportunity missed to make the audience roll their eyes or cringe, as with the random depressing guitar song or the crazy old woman's violent antics or the obvious conclusion of who's 'rubber' it must have been. Almost comical how it tried to tie up all the loose ends with a happy ending despite how unbelievable it would be.
