Plot: A series of interconnected short films follows a washed-up producer as he pitches "hillarious" and insane story lines featuring some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. 

Every once and a while a horrible movie comes out that really makes me question how out of just pure stupidity the studios in Hollywood haven't gone out of business yet.  Sure, I know that the masses of mouth-breathers out there love mediocre crap, but every once in a while a movie comes out that just makes you wonder how anyone could possibly like it.  Movie 43 is one of those movies.  I don't think I've ever seen a movie that made me feel more pessimistic about Hollywood.  It makes me sick to my stomach to even think this movie got green lit.
