Very Dark Comedy
Added 10/12/2009
About ten years ago, I saw this movie on Comedy Central, absolutely loved it, then forgot about it until Owen Gleiberman mentioned it in a recent-ish issue of Entertainment Weekly.
A lot of people want a feel-good movie when they watch comedies, and Very Bad Things is exactly the opposite. I really feel terrible, sort of depressed even, after watching it. But this is definitely what you would call excellent film. If you want to see distilled essence of the victim story, this is it. Excellent performances from Cameron Diaz, John Favreau and Christian Slater. A must for film buffs.

very strange thoughts
Added 7/24/2009
This is a VERY sick comedy film about a bunch of men that kill a prostitute in a hotel room, then kill a security guard and try to cover up the evidence by taking the bodies out to the desert to bury them.
The reason the movie is sick is because it makes like killing a human being is no big deal. The men are more concerned covering their tracks and not getting caught then they are feeling emotion over killing people.
Besides the twisted sense of humor, you can also expect lots and lots of arguing involving the group of men. They constantly argue over who was to blame for the murders, and build up a swear storm trying to calm each other down. It's funny because they keep picking public places where people can hear them to argue.
I honestly don't know what to think about a movie like this. On one hand it's funny so the movie is worth watching, but then again, it's never funny to make fun of people dying in tragic ways (and the ending of the movie is almost sickening).
Furthermore the pacing and the writing of the storyline could have definitely been better. It's a good movie, but not one you HAVE to see or anything.

Kobe Tai Goes Mainstream in an Excellent Movie!
Added 3/31/2009
As far as I know, this movie features porn star Kobe Tai's debut in mainstream movies. I watched it until her character was killed, simply because I'm a fan of hers.
However, sometime later, a lady at work informed me that she had enjoyed this movie. When I told her how little of it I'd seen, she recommended that I take the time to watch all of it. I did, and I'm glad I did. It's an excellent movie about people and their relationships, values and rationalizations, and the stern hand of fate.

VERY black comedy
Added 3/2/2009
So black that many fail to see the comedy. But it's there - occasionally. The final scene is the film's punch line - and yes, it's funny. In a very sick and twisted way.
Be warned, this film is not pleasant. Most folks will be better off with a movie that coddles them with familiarity and predictability. Very Bad Things is for the viewer that is not afraid to be taken to horribly uncomfortable places. And to laugh guiltily at things we all know we shouldn't.
