This baby just hit #1 on the Bottom 100 at IMDB. Something for Jabootu? Can even Ken survive this movie?

No no, look at the title of the thread. Have you not heard of this stinkbomb?? It sounds like it makes that last Anna Nichole Smith fiasco look like The Magnificent Ambersons in comparison.

I've no doubt this movie is awful beyond belief but making it to the Bottom 100 on IMDB doesn't mean anything since people vote for stuff they've never seen. I've no doubt more people have voted it into the #1 slot on the Bottom 100 than have actually seen the movie.

So they release it in Russia and nowhere else? They sure have a lot of confidence in their product.

Um, I looked at the release date on the IMDB and it said "February 21 (Russia)" so I assumed that it was released only there. I'm probably wrong though.

From what I've seen on the movie review shows, and from what I've read, this Paris Hilton vanity project is something no one involved will want listed on their resume (well, anyone with any sense of shame), and yes sounds like great fodder for a Jabootu Review -- but I don't think it could possibly be worse than FREDDIE GOT FINGERED or DIRTY LOVE.

Eric,
Believe it or no, this was actually released to theaters for 3 whole days! Check out the mojo (or lack thereof):
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hottieandthenottie.htm
Just for a little math fun, a total gross of around $28,000 (!) at a price of around $10 per ticket means that fewer than 3,000 people in the entire country have in fact seen this movie. This is approximately 0.001% of the U.S. population. |

It is possible for a movie to be below even Jabootu's purview? This seems like something even He would stear clear of.

Wow, they released it in 111 theaters. Really, what was the point of releasing it at all other than writing it off on their taxes.

This might be a nugget-sized review for somebody.

Hmmm, so the film sounds like something that would normally have been "direct-to-video", yet was released for a short period of time to a small number of theaters? Sounds kind of strange, like some kind of mistake -- but then remember: To be considered for an ACADEMY AWARD, does not a film have to have been presented in actual theaters?? -- well, I think that explains it!

Sometimes the studios have a contractual obligation to the talent to guarantee the movie a theatrical release. Such contracts cannot dictate the breadth and depth of the release, though, which results in "quick dump" mini-releases like this one.

Or maybe a Razzie? As they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Looks like Cold War is returning. Somebody did a lot of thinking in what would be the most offensive thing they could do to Russia and here's the result. |

With that in mind…
Paris is listed as the executive producer. You’d of thought her stint in the penitentiary showed that she had no shame left.
Oh well. Never underestimate the power of self-delusion.
