It takes a lot for me to walk out of a movie. But after 45 minutes of high school drama class acting, and the most hackneyed string of cliches ever put to film, I couldn't take another minute of this atrocious crap.

Otto; or, Up With Dead People
I came expected zombies. Instead I got an emo gay kid who was convinced he was a zombie, being exploited by a walking art school cliche. The dialog is stilted and delivered with way too much melodrama, and the plot really goes basically nowhere. Maybe there's some hilarious reference that I'm not getting.

Kiss The Bride
There's a tired old adage, "Why do gays want to marry? Haven't they seen how miserable married people are?" The same question should have been asked of a director who aspires to make a "gay movie" which contains all the worst elements of every low quality romantic comedy of the past thirty years.
Kiss The Bride is a dismal train-wreck of a movie. Inane writing and cringe-worthy jokes are only made worse by poor acting. Sadly there are a couple decent jokes buried in the midst, but they are more than overshadowed by the in your face, "We're gay, hey, look at us, see how gay we are! We're being gay!" attitude conveyed by so many characters. Any character who plays one facet to such extremes is next to intolerable, and to have literally dozens of them is mind-numbing.
