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.

when i watch a movie i expect a little bit of realism in that sort of genre. it's illegal to take photos of minors so turd one in the Paparazzi should have been jailed first off.

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