    Academy Award Candidate

    This is whats frustrating about the academy award process in Hollywood...how Guy Hutchinson's performance could be overlooked..is astounding. This actor captures all of compassion and pity of the fool...that he is portraying. I guess because this was'nt a box office success...that sadly a good piece of work like this is overlooked again....just like Wayne in Genghis Khan and Nolte in the Hulk...we look at the revenue of a movie and not the quality. At times throughout this movie..... I just couldn't believe that it was actually a movie and not a reality show...thats how deeply this movie affected me and my family. Sometimes I think we as film goer's are more interested in the money spent on the film and not the overall movement in the bowels of depth that the actors are capable of accomplishing.

    Another crappy movie for free on YouTube.

    Just like Foodfight, I watched a bit of it on YouTube and I have the exact same feeling as Foodfight. Thankfully I'm not going to watch all of it because it would be a waste of my time.

    Very funny

    It's a decent parody with some hilarious gags, amazing performances, great sound effects and adorable characters.

    Trash, no wonder no one knows about it!

    I would have never have even known about the film if it weren't for the ever famous James Rolf reviewing it, this is... Terrible! The jokes are as about as lame and cheap shot as the ones in Epic Movie, this is what a 80's Selzter and Frieberg film with no budget would be like! I'm surprised they even released this film, with a budget of about $20 I still doubt it made a profit.

    I think what makes this worse is films like these are getting a budget today, even if the film disributors gave them a "$20" budget they're still stupid, did the creators really think the viewers would laugh at immature Sex and anti-religious jokes?

    Conclusion: Awful -Cybersaur

    So Bad, It's Just...Bad

    I personally never heard of this movie until AVGN reviewed it back in 2008. It's essentially a god-awful Naked Gun-esque comedy with a no-name cast. The so-called sight gags are just unfunny and painful, including a scene that parodies The Godfather with the Corelone look-alike just mumbling and groaning for the filmmakers to fool the audience into thinking he's just that hard to understand. Half of the film actually has nothing to do with the story. I can obviously tell why this was released straight to video, probably to avoid a lawsuit from ol' Sly himself.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film remained mostly obscure, until internet personality and filmmaker James Rolfe (famous for The Angry Video Game Nerd (2004)) reviewed it as part of his mock feud with Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic (2007)) in 2008. He criticised the film for its weak comedy, poor plot and nonsensical references.
