Kama Sutra movie
How they managed to make a movie with hot chicks in an exotic setting
almost unwatchable, was twisted artistic genius. I came to the film
with every expectation of loving it, and I could barely finish the
film. I forget if it was the mind numbingly stupid dialog that
ruined it for me, but I remember a throbbing between my temples
instead of further south while watching it that made me reach for the
remote. Such a waste.
