Movie review: Lucy

STAR STAR 1/2

The Pitch Review

SCARLETT: Hey, I've been wanting to be in my own solo kickass chick movie FOREVER. I want to do this one. 
DIRECTOR: Well it's like I said. This one is perfect. Cool premise, fun action. And it's all about you. I picture tying in all these flashes, quasi animated, quilted into the story to explain the...the story. Because it's a weird concept. 

SCARLETT: I can do weird. Like this (twitching).  If I used 100% of my brain that's what it'd look like. Twitchy.

WRITER: Yeah! You're so hot, it doesn't matter what you do.
DIRECTOR: Hm. Maybe you should alternate twitchy with sullen. And a little bitchy? 
SCARLETT: Fine. But I want my own car chase. 

WRITER: Absolutely. A one person car chase. I think I can throw that in. Yeah. That IS weird. I'll make it really long just for you. 
DIRECTOR: I guess we'll make that work...
SCARLETT: And I want Morgan Freeman in it. 
PRODUCER: Why wouldn't she use her brain power for something useful? Like making the whole world climax simultaneously?
MORGAN: Because she wouldn't be doing it by herself. 


SCARLETT: Shut up, Morgan.
