This is one of those rare, confusing films that features so much misguided talent in the hollow shell of a horrible movie. Movie 43 is nowhere near the worst film ever made, but it's certainly laughless and pointless. The series of vignettes seem to be employed for the purpose of shocking the audience with their vulgarity, but, without any heart or humor to back it up, they come up as pointlessly offensive (with the exception being the Terrence Howard-starring basketball sequence, which is mildly amusing.) The result is like a bunch of recycled R-rated SNL rejects and is not good. The most confusing thing, as has been often noted, is the dearth of A-list talent that were somehow convinced to appear and embarrass themselves on screen.
