Video: Aussie movie reviewer absolutely tears 50 Shades of Grey apart on live TV

Might stay in tonight after all then

We feel sorry for Lisa’s husband, we really do.

The first reviews are in for 50 Shades of Grey and from what we’ve seen so far, a lot of people seemed surprised that it was actually decent.

Some were even more surprised that it’s apparently not as raunchy as expected.

It didn’t please everyone, mind.

One Australian movie reviewer was far from impressed with the movie adaptation of the EL James novel and wasn’t afraid to shout about it on the Today Show on Channel Nine Down Under.

“Quite simply, the worst movie I have ever seen” said Lisa Wilkinson, who called Jamie Dornan’s character “an emotional narcissist that nobody could love” and in perhaps the most damning criticism of all, said that “if there’s one thing this movie is not, it’s erotic”.

She also felt the need to let viewers on the sexual frustration of her husband, who must have thought he was onto a sure thing when the missus headed off to see it in the cinema.

Poor Pete.
