I just walked out of a movie; this was the first time. I wanted to see “Wanted” for an admittedly shallow reason – it has James McAvoy in it, and I think he’s hot. I didn’t expect that the movie would be so awful I’d rather pay for a ticket to get out of seeing it. I only regret that I didn’t walk out sooner. (Possible spoilers ahead, if you care about that.)

My first clue that this would not be an enjoyable experience was in the very first scene. McAvoy’s character is standing in an office watching his boss stuff her face. His boss is an approximately 300 pound woman who he characterizes as extremely annoying, also describing her sarcastically as “anorexic.” Isn’t that great? In the very first scene we get a whole heaping helping of stereotypes.
