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 has 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. A
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.
