A crude, ludicrous exploitation movie with a questionable moral.

The movie and its unpleasant brood just eat into your skull and make you wish that they would all simply go away.

The dialogue, storyline, and performance of Robin Tunney all combine to push this film up.

There are so many preposterous moments that I couldn't help but appreciate the comedy of the moment. The problem is, I don't think the filmmakers intended Paparazzi to be a comedy.

It's a surprise that this was even released by Fox. There are straight to DVD titles that are better than this.

Mad-Melin tuottama paparazzien kyykytysfantasia! Elokuvan paparazzit ovat niin yksiulotteisesti saastoja että ei voi kun nauraa. Levoton leffa! :D

I have been reading some critic reviews but the length some of these paparazzi's go to only motivates someone to make movies like these..
