Bolero (1984)

An American romantic drama directed by John Derek, starring George Kennedy.
A young woman has just graduated from college and inherited her family's wealth. She goes first to the middle east and then to Spain, looking to lose her virginity. She meets a man in Spain and they fall in love, but he is seriously injured in a bull fight.
I have seen films claimed to be the best that were worse than this. Obviously, this is claimed to be the worst. It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and has won Golden Raspberry awards. The production looked and sounded fine. I could hear and see what was going on. There were even some unique stylistic decisions like silent movie text screens when she was with the shiek. The plot was clear and the characters had a little bit of development. Not much, but some. The writing was alright, but the dialogue was a little hokey. There were some sex scenes, but they were done tastefully. I'm not saying it was great, but I don't see what was so bad about it. I rate it o.k. because it's a regular movie that I thought was alright. You may want to check it out if you don't have something better to watch.
