#MTV SWEET SIXTEEN MOVIE MOVIE#
The script almost appeared unwilling to bite the hand that feeds it, as if MTV ordered up a slasher movie parodying one of their most popular programs while instructing the writers to pull their punches when it comes to ripping on the superficiality of that particular program.Ī big problem is that birthday girl Madison (Julianna Guill, whom you may remember from the Friday the 13th remake, though more likely you only remember her “spectacular” breasts with the “perfect nipple placement”) doesn’t hold a candle to her true-life counterparts in terms of contemptibility.
My Super Psycho Sweet 16 proved to be surprisingly more watchable than I had anticipated yet was still lacking due to the satirical side poking fun at these spoiled teen princesses throwing their grotesquely elaborate egocentric birthday bashes lacking any real edge, not to mention the edge of the blades the slasher uses also not being nearly cutting enough. A tongue-in-cheek slasher flick based on this premise seems a no-brainer.

Now if you’ve ever seen a few snippets of footage from an episode of MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16” series and gotten an eye and ear full of these over privileged teenage girls living the vacuous life of rampant materialism and insufferable narcissism was probably enough to leave you wishing for a knife-wielding maniac to show up and put an end to them. By watching the premiere of the MTV original movie My Super Psycho Sweet 16 I do believe this was the longest I had watched the network in one sitting in nearly 15 years. I can honestly tell you that I did not have much use for MTV then and I sure as hell have no use for MTV now. Of course, to make that statement requires me add how VH1 went from being originally conceived as an adult contemporary AM version of MTV to the Generation X pop culture vomitorium it is now – the E! Network for heterosexuals, if you will.
In my lifetime I have seen MTV go from being the first music video channel to being a music video channel with some original programming mixed in to focusing more on the original programming with only the most popular music of the day getting video airplay during times of the day specifically designated for said videos to more or less transforming into BET for white suburban teens to what it is now, which is essentially VH1 for teenage girls. At the risk of showing how far past the age of 16 I am I can remember a time when MTV actually was a channel devoted to broadcasting music videos round-the-clock.
