tiki's rating: 1 1/2 stars (out of five)

What is chillingly billed as every collector's worst nightmare (treasured items left to the tender mercies of a vengeful ex-romantic partner) sputters out thanks to inept, unimaginative execution. We were hopeful for some tasty sledgehammer action at least as we watched the camera pan lovingly over the glass shelves in the opening shots, but instead the short subject "climaxes" with a couple of rubber-armed ninnies ineptly wacking on one poor, lone (albeit expensive) biker scout doll, minus a break to (they helpfully tell us!) go pee. Look, girlfriend, if you're OMG soooo mad 'cos he didn't get you A RING! then at least fucking invest in a few M80s for Mr. Biker scout so we could enjoy the 'splosions. This is like buying a ticket for the new Nightmare on Elm Street only to find due to budget cutbacks Freddie is armed only with Lee Press-On Nails.

So now he takes the video, calls the police and kicks her out of the house. Good luck trying to get a settlement out of this separation when he has proof that you are destructively psycho.

That being said it has to be staged. Anyone looking to get "revenge" because he went to vegas would have to be pretty dumb to record their illegal acts of vandalism.

But yes. If you are going to stage this, regardless of the weak plot. BLOW SOME SHIT UP!! lol

I agree: staged. Shouldn't a raging woman hit harder than a limp noodle, and giggle a bit less? And the "Probably like a hundred bucks or something!" bit? Please. Any twit that fixated on a diamond ring is not going to think of $100 as a whole lot of money.

I've seen some speculation now that it's a fake (evidently, if you ask the company for a replacement, they sometimes request that you *destroy* the damaged item). Which really begs the question of why no steamroller or boiling in acid or skeet shooting anything mildly entertaining. Or maybe I've just watched too much Mythbusters. :-)

If she were that hung up on the ring, she would have pawned all of the collectibles and bought herself a ring! Sheesh, my dog does more damage to toys than those wimps did! :)
