Review of MegaFault

Eriq LaSalle and the late (in this movie, not-so)great Brittany Murphy should have run away...not from the MegaFault, but this MegaAWEFUL script. From watching peoples' heads spontaneously combust as they are walking down the street(presumably from the underground volcano) to the folks walking briskly after total strangers that grabbed their children from the family RV and ran to the Osprey, the overdramatically spoken lines and the generic special effects scream for help. LaSalle's acting was good for what he was given and Murphy's presence shows that she was physically ill not too long before her December 2009 death, as she was so gaunt in the opening sequence that she was unrecognizable. The woman's legs had a gap between them that goes all the way up, which is continually emphasized by the bad camera angles. Murphy's bad scripting goes on to show awkwardness with her lines in scenes dealing with the military. This role was not what I would have expected from a talented actress. All in all, this was a sad waste of money and Hollywood acting talent and a horrible way to remember such a talented young woman.
