The trouble is that Berg doesn't seem sure how to draw matters to a close.

Favreau and Diaz are agreeably blank as the cloying American everycouple, which lays the groundwork for a neat twist, but the film belongs to Slater and the devilish point in the arch of his eyebrow.

Very Bad Things is a deliciously nasty morality tale that simply warns viewers that what goes around comes around.

A Swiftian satire on white yuppies -- it's American Psycho with five psychos.

There are some hysterically funny bits, but the excessive violence sometimes kills the laughter.
