An equal opportunities film-Something to offend everyone! - Pretty Persuasion review by Kurtz
This film really does set out to provoke, and the black humour is often grating- take your pick from sexism, racism, homophobia, paedophilia, and good old teen nastiness- it’s all there! The result is that the film varies wildly in tone, with some decent performances lost among all the PC-bashing. I particularly liked the hopeless lawyer who appeared to have wandered in from “Dude, where’s my car?” while everyone else thought they were re-making “Heathers” and James Woods… well God only knows what he thought he was doing!
