The Ref

The Ref
Touchstone etc.
March 11, 1994
Comedy?!
DVD
F+

A strong contender for the worst comedy I've ever seen, not only is it painfully unfunny but nearly every character, major or minor (the marriage counselor partially excepted), is thoroughly unlikable.  Still, the Christmas decorations (yes, it's a Christmas movie, in March) are pretty.  Ted Demme directed, seven years before Blow, which I enjoyed comparatively (a C-).

Depp stars as a drug-dealer looking back at his life.  It was kind of fun to see Reubens as a hip gay salon-owner, but I didn't care about the other characters.  Ted Demme directed.
