    Five liberal students serve poisoned alcohol to a collection of bigoted extremists in this entertaining but insubstantial black comedy. It could be an intriguing, double-edged premise — are Cameron Diaz, Ron Eldard and the rest any less twisted than their victims? — but Dan Rosen's script presents the culinary vigilantes in purely one-dimensional terms. By far the movie's strongest features are its various dinner guests, particularly racist trucker Bill Paxton (the first victim), male chauvinist Mark Harmon and homophobic priest Charles Durning. While unquestionably unpleasant, these characters are infinitely more interesting than the ones serving the wine.

  • A slight black comedy that skirts around the matter of the end justifying the means, but which fails to develop its theme in an interesting way.

    Yummy!

    A delicious black comedy examing the self-righteousness of the political and the politically correct.

    Dark and unsettling

    I was shown the first 20 minutes of this film in a lecture recently to demonstrate how morally developed the main characters were in the film. We stopped after the first fateful supper, and having never heard of this film previously I was really intrigued.

    Having watched it I have mixed feelings. It was a good film in that it had a good storyline etc, but I didnt enjoy the direction it took, and I didnt like Luke's character from the outset. Many people in the lecture were disturbed to learn that he was considered to be the most morally developed character!

    The film left me with a bitter aftertaste (no pun intended) because of the way it casually descended into murder using the 'if you had a time machine' story. Also, burying the bodies in the garden hardly seems like the cleverest thing to do for a bunch of graduates ...

    The ending was meant to be clever, and I suppose it was, but it was also a tad predictable once their final guest started sniffing around. How he justified his actions though the viewer will never know ...

    Not a film I would have necessarily wanted to see had I not seen this preview recently, and I'm glad I've satisfied my curiosity, but I won't be rushing to watch it again.

    Interesting to see Cameron Diaz before her heyday though.

    J- Lo "broken-hearted" after split

    • 30 Jan 2004

    Jennifer Lopez says she is extremely broken-hearted after her split from Ben Affleck. The 34-year-old revealed that it was the actor's reluctance to make a commitment and his love of gambling that led her to break of their engagement. The singer and actress also said their constant bickering over where to live created added tensions, The Sun newspaper claims. She told US magazine Star they couldn't decide between living at her Miami mansion or his estate on Hampton Island, Georgia. The couple,... Read more
