Fifty Shades Of Grey Review: 14 Hilariously Awful Moments

2. "I'm Fifty Shades Of F***ed Up"

At the tail-end of the movie, as the pair argue about Christian's intimacy issues, she asks him why he doesn't like being touched, and he replies, "Because I'm fifty shades of f***ed up, Anastasia." Though it's again a fan favourite line from the novel, it doesn't translate well to the screen at all, and like "Laters, baby", is more likely to elicit chuckles, all the worse because the scene in this instance is actually quite serious. It's as though James just wanted to shove the words "fifty shades" into the story somewhere because writers love doing that, even if it didn't really make much sense because nobody actually talks like that in real life.
