The best crap movie ever...maybe

And the award goes to.....Shoot 'Em Up.
Yes it's a straight to DVD action comedy (has to be rated a comedy) starring Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti. You read it right, two of the better actors of our present time. How they ended up in this film I don't know, hopefully they wanted to poke fun at the genre.
The acting is terrible, the script is terrible and unclear at times but the action. The action makes the acting and the script unimportant.
It's so over the top and ridiculous this film is one of the funniest I've seen in a while, right up there with Blades Of Glory and Good Luck Chuck which were actually meant to be comedies.
The good thing is that with the title, you know what you're in for.
Great exchange from Owen and Giamatti where Owen, holding a carrot I think, says `What's up doc?' and Giamatti replies `why you are a wascaly wabbit aren't you'. Crap, but gold.
