Thirst Movie Reviews

Lacey’s biggest misstep

Oh, my. Where to begin? Lacey Chabert is not only the star of this movie but is listed as one of the executive producers as well. That leads me to surmise that this film was intended, at least in part, to showcase Lacey’s talents and get Hollywood to view her as a serious actress. If so, the effort backfires.

In order for this premise (stuck in the middle of a desert with very few provisions) to work at all the characters have to make some pretty stupid mistakes. And our characters do. Driving 80 miles into the desert without any sort of backup plan in case of car trouble is, in fact, beyond stupid. As the movie and the stupid decisions continue it becomes increasingly hard to either believe the story or feel any sympathy for the characters.

Thank God for Noelle (the lovely Lacey)! She is cast as a Captain Kirk here, keeping her cool while the others around her are losing theirs. But her hero status is all too clearly a plot device, again, to showcase her “talents.” At one point Lacey performs emergency brain surgery using s screwdriver and a rock. I kid you not! She can do this, but she isn’t smart enough to realize they should travel at night and stick to the road!

As a person who rarely laughs out loud even at things that are supposed to be funny, I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of the plot twists. (Did someone mention breast implants?) Of course, the movie also has to show us several “gross out” scenes for seemingly no other purpose than to get some junior high viewers to say “Oh! Gross!” Not only do we get to watch characters drink their own urine, we have to watch them take in every last drop. “Ewwww! Gross!”

Need I say more? This is a really bad movie with only one redeeming feature: The lovely Lacey Chabert who I have always liked in the past. “Thirst”, however, is probably the biggest misstep in Lacey’s career.

So bad it’s good…

I kept watching just to see how many idiotic mistakes they make trying to survive. I’m not a survivalist but I know enough not to finish all your water and ration. Also ow is the pregnant woman able to have more stamina then the muscle head guy? How about building a fire at night and eating the snake? How about they do everything wrong! It’s pretty funny

Terrible Survival Film in Every Way

Thirst is a truly embarrassing film, a genuine waste of footage that falls short in virtually every way. It has bad acting, bad characterization, and even bad camera work. It is a debacle.

The film follows four people who get stranded in the desert after a minor accident. Four of the most annoying people you will ever see on a film screen. Only the Lacey Chabert character is even vaguely intelligent. Her husband is too stupid to pick up on the fact she is pregnant after she starts having morning sickness and avoiding alcoholic drinks. The model played by Mercedes McNab is so stereotypical and stupid you practically root for a coyote to come eat her.

These characters fail to use even common sense desert survival techniques such as traveling at night. Similarly, the best way to deal with an angry rattlesnake is not to stand still within striking distance. I’ve never even been to a desert and I know this.

Furthermore, the camera work borders on the disgraceful. Although there are a few nice shots of sunsets, the scenes filmed at night seem murky, as if they left on the lens made for bright light. Many of the day scenes seem bleached out, although that could be a result of the geography.

Avoid this film at all costs.
