  • Drearily inane comedy, with uncertain performers enunciating unspeakable dialogue to an overpowering soundtrack.

    EmPOOR Records

    Really stupid film, with a painful soundtrack, one-dimensional stereotypical characterisation, easily predictable neat-and-tidy ending, and terrible dialogue. Several aspects of the story just don't make sense.

    I nearly gave up on this movie 3 or 4 times, but unfortunately I stuck with it til the cringe-worthy end. 'Cult comedy classic' they said! It might be cult, I don't know, but I didn't detect any comedy and it's certainly not a classic.

    At BEST it's watchable, and that's only because Liv Tyler is so gorgeous.
