BMW's film "Star" Only Earns One Star (archive)

Guy Ritchie should be given 10 lashes. It's like the pretty but bitchy girl breathing, "oh, why are you driving so slow" and then 8 minutes of that silly "Whoo Hoo" song and a reckless car chase which I believe will cause our insurance to go up about $50 a month should anyone from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety see this stinker. Not that there's anything wrong with car chases of course but you know those rear shock mounts didn't withstand that 8 second airborne jump, and I don't even want to think about the tranny mounts.

I'm all for branding and creative advertising and everything but BMW drivers, I think, are above the adolescent fantasy of simultaneously giving a hot pouty young woman her comeuppance and impressing her with a display of unabashed vehicular power and driving skill. Well, ok, most BMW owners probably are anyway. Anyone else subject themselves to this atrocity?
