Is being reviewed by critics as the worst movie of all time...

"The "Citizen Kane" of awful movies"

-Richard Roeper

"If you mashed-up the worst parts of the infamous Howard the Duck, Gigli, Ishtar and every other awful movie I've seen since I started reviewing professionally in 1981, it wouldn't begin to approach the sheer soul-sucking badness of [Movie 43]."

-New York Post

Yeah I mean the preview itself looked horrible. Not surprised it is getting panned.

Movies like these are a quick-buck for producers. The cost to produce is fairly low, and they almost always recoup their investment + a few million.

How is it a money grab for everyone if their budget was only $5 million? (I honestly have no idea how they were able to get that cast.)

I'm actually slightly interested in seeing this. It has a great cast, and the unedited trailer is much better than the tv preview.

Read about the production of movie 43...the film is only comprised of 11 different very raunchy skits. They would sometimes go 3-6 months between shooting each skit, hence the 3 year shoot, and used 11 different directors for the film. Wikipedias page for the movie describes each of the 11 scenes in detail, and it's disgusting.

I am sure they get % of the profits...and they probably each had a day or two on set.
