 S.F.W is D.A.H = Dumb As Hell June 11, 2009

I'm sure fans who wrote four star reviews won't like this, but that's okay because I didn't like this movie. Stephen Dorff stars as Cliff Spab a onetime burger boy who finds himself thrust into the media spotlight after being taken hostage by a group of terrorists dubbed The Split Image. Spab was just going to get a sixer but found himself tied to a chair along with his best friend (Jack Noseworthy) and a cute blonde named Wendy (Reese Witherspoon). Spab becomes the group spokesman spouting such inspirational codas as "So F'ing what. Everything is nothing and doesn't mean anything". The media seize on the opportunity to turn him into an instant celeb and soon Spab's face is everywhere from T-shirts to CD covers. He's also broadcast 24-7 on every T.V. station. Spab finds it impossible to enjoy any kind of normal life since he's become so famous and all his friends want something from him. I agree with some reviewers who say the film is ahead of it's time but I also say it's all in the delivery. All of the characters, most of all Spab, are so tasteless and annoying. Witherspoon appears too young and naive to come down on her hard. Jake Busey is kind of entertaining as one of Spab's crazy friends but the best bits of casting are Joey Lauren Adams and Natasha Gregson Wagner. Adams is super cute and has about three seconds of nudity in the film. Gregson Wagner plays a Spab follower who doesn't go as far with her idol as Adams does. If this movie's message is "So F'ing What" than why the hell make it?

Save your money. This is a terrible movie. I don't know what else to say about it. I can't believe that Reese Witherspoon agreed to do this movie. This is a trashy movie and not fit for children of any age.

I received the movie in very good condition and it arrived within the time it said it would. I was very pleased with the level of service I got and would definetly order from amazon again.

Joey Lauren Adams, as Monica Dice, was the best thing about this movie. Her time onscreen was all too short.
SFW? Exactly. September 18, 2007

SFW, shorthand for an expression of disdainful dismissal that I doubt Amazon would like me annotating, is one of those cult hits whose popularity defies all logic. While genuinely endearing movies languish in studio vaults, dry rotting and forgotten, films like SFW (and you really do understand the title, right?) ride the wave of acclaim and fond regard, and personally I have no idea why. This story of the aftermath in the lives of suddenly famous teens whose entire month-long ordeal of being held hostage in a convenience store is broadcast live before the world might be suitable for a short sketch or a brief student film, but to stretch it out to feature length and say it has artistic merit...? No. Not buying it. Of course it does feature Stephen Dorff and a pre-A list Reese Witherspoon, so maybe that's a clue as to why it's still fondly referred to today not only by those who sat through it in a decade ago but by those coming of age in this decade, long after the time when by all sanity it should be a '90's artifact. Much less a satire of celebrity and media feeding frenzy, SFW is more like an inside joke its makers have played on the general public.
