Better Living (1998)
1/10
Dreary, drab, incomprehensible - entertainment-free...
17 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Without question the worst movie I have ever seen.

Films such as "Plan 9 from outer space" are bad, but are entertaining for it - this film fails to engage the viewer on any level, even those who are fans of the "Dysfunctional family" genre of movie.

Most movies have at least one positive attribute - this one, sadly, is an exception.

The characters seem to be doing things without motivation or reason - it isn't clear why the father returned, and even less clear why everyone just accepted his direction without question.

The term "spoiler" does not apply to this movie - it is more a "Coup de grace." I'd tell you how the film ended but my brain started to dribble out of my ears half way through.

I suppose the bottom line is this - "Better Living" wasn't nominated for any awards, has received far more bad reviews than good (if any!) and was gracing the shelves of our local "Poundland" shop. The film is so bad that the actual disk is devoid of any credits, merely having the film title printed on it - no one wanted to own up to having anything to do with this disaster of a movie.

About the only positive thing I can say about this movie is that I sold it at a car boot sale for slightly more than I paid for it...
