I love cheesy romance, happy Disney endings and small-town tales. And I just watched Ten Inch Hero.
What a crap excuse for a film. The only reason I don't regret downloading it is because Jensen's in it and the tampon scene was funny. Otherwise, it's the most sickly sweet, sex-obsessed, poorly-written, hypocritical, hippie-wannabe piece of shit that I've ever watched. Jensen is a good actor, but he can't pick his movies to save his life (or career). Priestly is about the most genuine, likeable character in it, and his character gets completely annihilated in the end.
And it got an 8.8 rating on IMDB? WTF? Granted, it's not the worst movie I've ever watched, and the storylines do manage to keep you interested, but the screenplay reads like it was written by a high schooler, the narrative is clumsy, every single storyline disappoints you in the end and you just feel like throwing things at the screen half the time. No wonder it had so much difficulty finding a distributer.
Do yourself a favour and leave this one on the shelf. Unless you really, really love Jensen Ackles and would sit through any sort of crap for him. I feel like I've done more than enough in that department. I sat through the second season of Dark Angel, the fourth season of Smallville, Devour, most of the third season of Supernatural and now this failure of the indie genre for him. That's how much I love Jensen Ackles.
God, Jensen, you're so much better than this. *sigh*

Date: 2008-10-30 03:16 pm (UTC)*Is impressed* I set through the second season of Dark Angel (with lots of fast-forwarding) but that's about it. As for SV, I used to watch it before Jensen came along, but the fourth season was so bad I only watched the Chloe scenes. Of the few minutes I did see, I thought he was a pro (a serious compliment, considering his horrible lines) but he wasn't very exciting. Then SPN came along, and I just wanted to see if Lana's bf is doing better now...
The rest, as they say, is history.

But I did love Transference (Clark/ Lionel bodyswap episode) and Blank (Clark's amnesia episode), though. And the season opener was, ahem, hmmmm. *slurps*

Yeah, those eps were okay, but the rest...*shudders*
