347: "Scarred-Up Burnt Sex" - Pay It Forward (2000)

You want Oscars?  Get two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey on the phone.  Sweeten the deal with Academy Award winner Helen Hunt.  Throw in Academy Award nominee Haley Joel Osment.  But you really looking for Oscar gold?  Then you need Jon Bon Jovi and, more importantly, SNL alum Jay Mohr.  We watched Pay It Forward from 2000, a movie that is a failure on multiple levels.  Little Haley Joel Osment tries to change the world with kindness.  His mother's a drunk, his teacher has burns all over him, his best friend is a hobo junkie that looks like Jesus.  Jay Mohr is on the hunt for a big scoop.  Then most of the movie is devoted to trying to get Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt to bone burn victim style.  Stay for the last 3 minutes if you want to see a kid get stabbed for no thematic reason.  Enjoy!
