Alas, the concept was funnier than the execution
...as is often the case. **
We watched The Last Supper last night, a 1995 movie with a pretty good cast, a bad script and HORRIBLE directing. (at least to our uninformed eyes that appeared to be the problem.)
I'd give you a spoiler alert but believe me, you shouldn't waste your time on this movie.
The idea is that 5 liberal academic friends have an accidental guest for dinner (Bill Paxton) who ends up being as horrible offensively bigoted as they are snide and condescending. After the conversation deteriorates into hate speech on both sides, Bill Paxton's character ends up "accidentally" dead from a meat cleaver to the back. Ashamed by Paxton's character's claims that liberals are all whining & no action, but exhilarated by putting to death who they've rationalized was a future Hitler, they decide to invite bigots of all flavors to dinner and put them to death.
The concept is a little bit funny, but the execution (haha) is just wretched.
On the other hand, you get to see Cameron Diaz in pleated, high rise pants that stopped just shy of her armpits. I couldn't stop staring at them.

Yep, it was awful.
And annoying.
