Has to be seen to be believed -- a very rare case of a movie that's such an utter train wreck you can't stop watching.

Reviews for Shortcut to Happiness
Much of the fault can be distributed to Hewitt's performance which has neither the zing nor the menace to effectively sell us that she has any credible advantage over heavyweights like Baldwin and Hopkins.
Baldwin, like so many thesp-helmers, lacks an instinctive sense of how to place and move the camera.
