Breast Men (1997)

When the lawyers start coming out of the woodwork towards the end of "Breast Men", most of the entertainment value has already drained away. What starts out as an insightful look into the female psyche, winds up splattered all over the courtroom floor. Along the way, nice performances by David Schwimmer and Chris Cooper get lost in the dramatically glorified corruption which results from their success. This uneasy mix of professional plastic surgery and promotional advertising eventually ends in a fun house of mirrors. After the intriguing beginning, things steadily slide downhill, and the characters become less and less likable, as does the entire movie. - MERK

This movie is advertised as something of a comedic look at the guys who invented breast implants. I expected some dark humor, and some good vintage 1950's and 60's sets. However what you really get here is a poorly told story, bad acting, hard to follow plot that goes from the 50's to the 80's. There's no way of knowing how much of the story is true from the movie. The ending is just plain stupid. I can't believe that they couldn't have done a better job with this.The issue of the movie having a lot of breasts is mostly a non-sequitor. The breasts shown were non sexual props. There's nothing wrong with that, but if you're looking for titillation this movie doesn't have it.What this movie is really about is how doctors and lawyers are greedy sleazeballs with no real interest in their clients. In that regard it may be something of a documentary, but I just found it making me angry.Breast lovers won't like this movie. People who like comedies won't like it. People who like documentaries won't like it. Frankly I can't imagine anyone will really like it. So skip it.

A young plastic surgeon comes up with a "eureka" invention which changes him and the cosmetic surgery world for good.Despite being someone that did good for people - well in their own minds anyway! - this reminds me of one of those Average Joe tales where Mr Average stumbles in to history despite being unbelievably dull.Horrible miscasting of "Friends" David Schwimmer as Dr. Christopher Saunders, he is totally wrong for anyone in the medical field. The guy might be good in comedy, but comes across as a bit goofy. Can the guy listen to anyone speak with his mouth closed? The producers don't really know if this is supposed to be a comedy or a drama and given that there is no laughs I would side with drama. Yes there are moments of irony - who would want to be the first to try out something like this?There isn't a movie in breast implants and the producers are finding it out the hard way.Give it giant miss - unless you want to look at some bare breasts and can only justify it on medical grounds.

It was so awful. Not a single funny part or a clever part about a subject that, clearly, would be pretty easy to ridicule. And all those breast shots were added just to have some interesting moments in a piece of crap flick.
