Cool and the Crappy is an unknown telefilm that contains some of the worst acting ever on celluloid.
There isn't a plot in this dud, either. Because of the cars, the clothes, and the ugly baby carriage, it tries to
be a 50's picture but stays within the 90's. The ending, which is filled with black-and-white pictures, is beyond
ridiculous.
Alicia Silverstone gave only one good performance, and that happened in The Crush. The rest of her career had been
forgettable because she always played herself. Jared Leto wouldn't hit his stride until
Prefontaine before
following it up with Requiem for a Dream.
Jennifer Blanc's character, Joannie, is unbelievable for somebody who's supposed to be from the 50's. For the majority of the
time, she's like Joan Cusack on crack. The most amusing, over-the-top acting award goes to Matthew Flint who reminds me of
Ben Affleck. In fact, he looks like a clone of him.
All in all, Cool and the Crappy doesn't work as anything.
