No Wonder Christopher Walken Plays in This

[alexkolokotronis · 5/10 · 22 April 2008]

This could be looked at in many different ways. This movie sucks, its good or its just plain weird. The third one probably explains this movie best. It has strange themes and just has a strange plot. So who else but Christopher Walken would play in this no matter how bad, average or even how good it might be.

The acting was what you would expect especially out of Ben Stiller. Jack Black I have always liked so you know what you will get out of him but this is not bad. Christopher Walken is always off the wall. He is always enjoyable to watch no matter how bad the movie is. Comedy wise it is somewhat funny. This of course meaning that it does have its moments (though very few) but can get a little over top here and there which makes me feel like the movie is just desperate for laughs but of course not in a good way.

The directing was average as well. Barry Levinson is a slightly overrated director and really did not do a good job here. This movie seemed that it had a lot more potential and he did not do much to reach it. Just very average and did not seem like a lot of effort was put into making this film.

The writing is the key to a good comedy. Obviously that means the writing here failed. At best it is below average. Considering it does have its moments it was not too horrible. That is never a good thing to say about a movie though.

If not for Christopher Walken and it stupid ridiculous ending I would have given it a lower rating. He is always quite a character in his movies. Stil this is just a whacked out strange movie with strange characters that really don't go anywhere. Not completely horrible but I would not really recommend it though because it is a very forgettable movie.

Not as bad as I expected.....though this is hardly a ringing endorsement.

"Envy" has all the earmarks of a huge movie bomb. It sat on the shelf for two years, the stars and director publicly apologized for the film AND the film was in and out of American theaters so fast that they didn't even bother having it play in theaters in Europe! Why? Well, the script has a good idea but the execution just isn't all that funny. Some of this doubtless is because the film was directed by an exceptional director...but one who simply isn't a comedy director. His one other attempt at comedy was the godawful "Toys"...which, like "Envy", had some stars and a decent idea...but which just didn't work.

The story is about two friends. When the story begins, Tim (Ben Stiller) is the more successful of the two and it would appear it will stay that way. In contrast, Nick (Jack Black) is a dreamer....and his ideas for making riches sound really dumb. Amazingly, however, his idea for a miracle spray that makes dog feces magically disappear actually is made into a successful product...and he becomes immensely wealthy almost overnight. Now, Nick has built a HUGE mansion next to his friend's home and is very nice towards Tim and his family.

In spite of how nice Nick is, Tim becomes resentful and during this resentful period, he meets a weirdo in a bar. J-Man (Christopher Walken) wants to help Tim get revenge....and it's all very premature as soon Nick gives Tim a partnership in his company and now Tim, too, is a rich man. But what about the revenge plan? How will this come back to haunt him?

While I didn't hate this film despite it's low IMDB score and more, I didn't love it either. Much of it is because the story has some funny elements and should have worked much better...it should have been very funny but just wasn't. I see it as a bit of a time-passer and nothing else.

while not great...

[MLDinTN · 4/10 · 18 April 2005]

this movie doesn't deserve to be called the worst ever. This weekend I saw two movies that were less entertaining than Envy: they were Dickie Roberts and Van Hellsing. Now, those two movies were just stupid. While Envy didn't really make me laugh, I did find it somewhat entertaining. All the things Nick buys once he makes his millions was funny. Plus, just the concept and demonstration of his invention was amusing. And all the people picketing at his wife's political office asking "where does the **it go", which is exactly what Tim asks. I didn't really care for Christopher Walken's character. I didn't think the J-man added much.

FINAL VERDICT: I'm not sure why this movie has gotten the reputation as being one of the worst movies ever. I don't think it is. So, if you like movies that really don't require brain power, then I recommend this one.

Slightly Good and Quietly Funny

[b5txfan · 7 December 2004]

Saw it in May 04 when it first came out (yes in an empty theater) and thought it was quietly funny with a moral lesson. Not for everyone but if you like Stiler, Black or Walken, see the movie and judge for yourself. If you are a critic and you are looking for art, forget it. If you are looking for a rainy night rental movie that you can eat some cheap popcorn and diet coke to, then this is a movie you can enjoy. You don't have to think too hard to enjoy the comedy and the moral is easy to pick up on. It won't win any awards nor go down in cinema history as a gem but it's worth the price of the rent and don't forget to rewind. I give it 7 out of 10 Frogs.

Look out Ishtar, you've got competition!

[megafurry · 1/10 · 18 November 2004]

This is my first movie review on IMDb. I was forced to register after watching this movie. I cannot in good conscience allow this movie to be unreviewed by me. The people must be warned!

First of all, my rating is: 0 (as in "zero")

I love Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Rachel Weis, and Christopher Walken, and yet, I hated this movie. There is a plot, but who cares when there's no script. The dialogue is unreal and plain boring, the situations are contrived, the flow of events is slow and somewhat arbitrary, the characters are unsympathetic and uninteresting, and the story, although based on a good premise, is stupid. This movie is a piece of poo.

Never mind wasting MONEY on this movie, it's not even worth your TIME spent watching it. Please do not see it... I beg of you!

Humorless

[yashicad · 1/10 · 2 June 2005]

I couldn't wait to put this movie in my DVD player when I rented it. Then after I started it, I couldn't wait to get it OUT of my DVD player. Actually I watched all of the movie. My wife and I kept waiting and waiting for something funny to happen, but nothing funny ever does. The box read like the it would be really funny. The premise of the movie sound good. Ben Stiller is funny. Jack Black is funny. How could this movie miss? Well....it does miss! This is the unfunniest "comedy" I have ever watched. Nobody I have talked with thought it was even slightly funny. It is just a really lame movie. Trust me. Avoide it....AVOIDE IT!!

My god, this was horrible.

[thegoonnextdoor · 3/10 · 4 May 2004]

Bad comic misfire that is worse than what was written in the reviews. Ben Stiller and Jack Black should be ashamed of themselves for even being in this film, and Barry Levinson should be reprimanded some how for what he did to this movie. Ben Stiller should get a new angle because his comic behavior getting real tire and it is real evident here that he should start talking very hard to his agent about his roles, and Jack Black should consider not doing the dumb fun guy roles any more because that is getting tired as well. Jack was great in the movie School of Rock but he is horrible here, and I hope this is a lesson for him to pick his scripts wisely. The whole movie is a disaster, and most of the comedy is D.O.A on arrival. The only actors in the whole film who do a somewhat fine job is Christopher Walken, who does over do it in the loony department, and Rachel Weisz, who manages to be shine, and be funny in a role that is really more of a extended cameo than a supporting role.

I used to have a lot of respect for Barry Levinson as a director but after this, and the misfire Bandits with Bruce Willis, I lost almost all of it. He manages to make good actors look bad with scripts that are horrible, and really bad direction that has no weight what so ever. People should put the blame on him for how bad the movie came out.

NOT AS BAD AS PEOPLE ARE SAYING!

[BigRed2001 · 7/10 · 4 May 2004]

Any Levinson fan should check this film out. Sure its your typical stupid comedy, but thats exactly what its intended to be. Anyone who enjoyed Toys or Bandits will probably enjoy this film.

Sure its not the greatest, but I do believe it is worth watching. Even from a directing standpoint its a pretty decent film.

The two main characters, Jack Black (Nick Vanderpark) and Ben Stiller (Tim Dingman) play complete opposites. From the first moment of the film you begin to see the differences between their lives. I found all of these little differences entertaining to watch.

Don't believe the reviews or what others are saying....go see it for yourself and find out.

6.5 out of 10

3.7 out of 10 is right

[mm-39 · 3/10 · 24 May 2004]

This movie ranks low with Weekend at Burnie's. The author who said he wished that there was a product that would make bad comedies like this vapoorise is right. Only reason I gave this movie a 3 was the excellent acting of Christopher Walken as the J man. Why was this movie made could be a comedy? Most of the film is just not funny. I was looking for a joke that was never there. Was the script better or did the actors just took the money and ran? At least it was a double feature at the drive in. At $7.50 that's 3.75 a movie better than a video rental. At least the first feature was shrek 2, which my wife will review. check for the review on my movie list. This movie is atypical 2nd feature at the drive in. 3 out of 10. Miss this one. Mike

Amusing comedy that pokes fun at materialism

[Wuchakk · 7/10 · 3 September 2014]

"Envy" bombed at the box office in 2004, but that doesn't mean it's not worth watching (or owning). Jack Black and Ben Stiller play neighbors & best friends in Southern California who work at a sandpaper factory. Black strikes it rich with an invention and builds a vast mansion where his former home was. Of course, this stirs the envy of Stiller who gets mixed-up with an eccentric vagabond, played by Christopher Walken. Amy Poehler and Rachel Weisz play the wives.

While "Envy" isn't very laugh-out-loud funny, it's consistently amusing and the story is good enough to maintain your attention. Walken stands out as the offbeat bum. What I like best is the film's originality; I really can't think of any other films like it. Maybe that's why it bombed. I also like the way "Envy" pokes fun at materialism and everything that goes with it, e.g. envy. In addition, it's nice to watch a comedy like this without overt sleaze and overkill cussing, like 2007's "The Heartbreak Kid" (I don't mind realistic cussing in movies, but when it's overdone it's neither impressive nor funny; it's just stoo-pid and smacks of lazy writing).

Weisz and Poehler are as gorgeous as ever, but they're decidedly peripheral and the filmmakers never take advantage of their presence. Regardless, "Envy" is solid, original amusement.

The film runs 99 minutes and was shot in Santa Clarita, L.A. & Culver Studios, CA, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

GRADE: B

No-one's going envy this strained tedium

[paulnewman2001 · 2/10 · 12 January 2005]

How can Barry Levinson possibly assemble white-hot comedy talents Ben Stiller and Jack Black, the gorgeous Rachel Weisz, old pro Christopher Walken and still deliver such a humourless stinker?

Stiller and Black are friends until the latter invents a spray to make dog mess vanish and becomes a conspicuous consuming multi-millionaire.

The premises is thin but sound enough in the right hands to have been a springboard for some great bitching between the two stars but all concerned overplay every hand, every chance they can.

Stiller and Black are simply not funny for way too much of the time, Weisz looks sensational as always but is criminally underused and, with the exception of Walken as a batty barfly who urges Stiller's character to take revenge, it's a turgid trudge to the end of this strained farce.

This movie is secretly brilliant

[eornad-1 · 10/10 · 7 February 2011]

The central image of this movie is a dog taking a crap. Knowing this, I can't imagine how anyone could judge Envy by the same criteria as a "real" movie. This movie is stupid and it knows it's stupid. It's fully aware of that fact, so don't bother using that as a critique. Accept the stupidity into your heart and let this film melt your brain with comedy. In many mainstream comedies, audiences have to wade through some cheesy or worn out plot to get to the funny stuff. But at the end of the day the stories these movies are telling aren't really any good, they're merely a labored suggestion of substance. Ultimately the reason we watch them is to see some funny performers doing funny things, not for the narrative. However good a movie like the 40-Year-Old Virgin maybe, Bergman it ain't! The story only really functions to support the comedy. So then why not make a joke out of the plot too? Why not make a comedy that is one long extended joke? Just enjoy the insanity of the brilliant cast and be thankful that Envy has the common decency to forgo the usual pretense of profundity and focus on poop jokes instead.

Now this next point may be a harder argument to make and may contradict my last point, but if you do look closely at the recurring gags and images in Envy, the dare-I-say motifs of the film, you might find that it is actually a very nasty spoof of our consumer culture. Plus, the main conflict of the film is that the characters have such a hard time reconciling their greed for material possessions and their moral obligations to other human beings. Jack Black's character even utters a line that I think many people actually live by: "Nice things make life better." So perhaps Envy is secretly brilliant and is merely hiding behind a mask of utter stupidity. That would make it the inverse of most movies out there today (I'm thinking of Inception right now).

The Modern Day Ishtar -- But In a Good Way

[pdrdes · 7/10 · 20 April 2005]

Like Ishtar and King of Comedy, other great, misunderstood comedies, Envy has great performances by two actors playing essentially, losers (may be too harsh a word, I will call them suburban under-achievers).

This film was a dark comedy gem, and I'm not sure what people expect. I relish seeing a major studio comedy that isn't filled with obvious humor, and I believe that the small moments in this movie make it worthwhile. The look on Stiller's face when he sees the dog doo disappear for the first time captures a moment, a moment that most people should be able to recognize in themselves. Yes, it was a fairly simple story, but it examined the root of envy in a really interesting way. There were a lot of great scenes (the J-Man's decrepit "cabin by the lake", Corky's unceremonious burial, Weitz's wife role, and Walken's J-Man -- all great stuff.

I can't stand people that get on IMDb and mercilessly trash films when they have absolutely no idea what it takes to make one. I will take Envy over almost any of the top ten grossing comedies of the year (save Napoleon Dynamite.) It's wittier, wackier, and an offbeat, enjoyable gem.

Remember this people; Most times, Popular doesn't equal Good.

Excruciating

[cael_cyndar_2004 · 1/10 · 30 January 2006]

This has to be the most brutally unfunny "comedy" I've ever seen in my life. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Christopher Walken as a crazed homeless man CAN'T make me laugh? Something's got to be wrong with this picture. This is the only movie I've ever felt like walking out of. I used free passes, and still felt like I wanted my money back. I can wholeheartedly say that the only movie I've ever seen worse than this one was HOUSE OF THE DEAD. The. ONLY. worse. movie. I laughed very slightly at the merry-go-round scene, and that's it. Spending 2 hours in something billed as a comedy should get you more than one laugh, right? I don't know, I guess the filmmakers thought that "flan" was a funny word, or something. And the other running joke really is beating a dead horse--literally.

You know what..this movie wasn't that bad

[Deftones_Guy101 · 7 May 2004]

I'd just like to comment on this movie. I was surprised on how funny it was. I mean, yes..most people who saw this movie, probably thought it was horrible, I on the other hand, enjoyed it. It was a very different style of directing, acting, and screen play. Comm'on, who thinks up Vapoorise..thats gold! hahahaa..anyways, Ben Stiller (even though, he paid some of his own money so that the movie would not be put out) was funny as always, he kept his character through the whole thing. Even though i'm not too much of a Jack Black fan, he was pretty funny as well, he did go a bit overboard, but its jack black what can you do..heh..and you cant forget about the lovly Rachel Weisz..oh baby she's smoking! Expecially when she wants SEX ON A LAUNDRY MACHINE..and to save the best for last..the one and only Christopher Walken...well, he speaks for him self for a description. I also thought the story was very well done, all the problems that were faced between black and stiller were good...I like the whole "I didn't do it" lie, which grows into a big huge problem. I'm sorry i couldnt give you too much of a description of the movie, but its worth seeing if you have a ciniplex near you, where you pay like 7 bucks. I had some really good laughs, and all the characters worked well together. The End..or is it..DUN DUN DUN!!

There's no accounting for humor

[=G= · 5/10 · 10 October 2004]

"Envy" is a silly comedy about a couple of best friend couples who live in identical tract homes on a cul de sac, leading identical lives until one of them invents an aerosol alternative to the pooper scooper, "Vapoorize", which makes feces vanish into thin air. Jack Black is his usual comedic self as the inventor who quickly climbs to mogul status while his buddy, Stiller, languishes in relative ordinariness, green with envy. Featuring a good cast, sporting the Levinson pedigree, and chock full of inany zany nonsense, "Envy" shoulda been more than the colossal bomb which, according to critics and public alike, stinks so bad it could be "vapoorized". I laughed a lot but the, hey, that's just me. Not recommendable based on the lousy results from just about everyone. (C+)

Shooting A Dead Horse

[rcraig62 · 2/10 · 31 July 2005]

I admit to liking a lot of the so-called "frat-pack" movies. No matter how bad they are, I can find something to like about Ben Stiller or Owen Wilson or Vince Vaughn or Will Ferrell or Jack Black. But "Envy" just left me about as cold as the white horse that Ben disposed of. This time, it's Ben and Jack Black as a couple of nutty neighbors, one of whom (Black) discovers a aerosol spray to make animal poop disappear and becomes incredibly wealthy while the other (Stiller) writhes in envy. That's supposedly the plot, but then it veers off in other directions that don't really make much sense.

I guess the 'Vapoorize' thing is sort of amusing at first. The problem is, they try to sustain the gag for the whole picture (Black has a license plate that reads 'Caca King') and it gets fairly tiresome. But even Ben and Jack are used poorly; the energy level for both of their performances seems significantly dialed down. The two best performances by far are Rachel Weisz and Chris Walken. Walken's neo-hippie-dippie guy is so offbeat and so well-modulated a performance that it really never suggests any of Walken's other familiar nutcase characters. It's completely unique, yet comes across as unmistakably Walken. And Weisz is about the best actress in the business that nobody knows about. Even with limited screen time, she still dominates every scene she's in.

The whole crux of the so-called drama is that Ben, in a jealous drunken stupor, accidentally shoots Jack's prize white stallion, and then goes to ridiculous lengths to cover it up, fearing his best friend will find out and cut him dead. But the plot twist isn't believable because there's nothing about Jack's character to indicate that he would do such a thing. He plays such a sweet guy that it renders the whole excruciating horse chase null and void. You discount it completely. It's all filler. And what's the point of the out-of-control merry-go-round, except that Barry Levinson wants us to know that he's seen "Strangers on a Train"? The screenplay is painfully bad and the acting of the two leads poorly directed. Someone with Levinson's track record should know better. Maybe someone will invent something to make this film disappear. Oh, wait, they already have.

Not totally horrible (I've seen much worse) but still rather poor for a number of reasons

[MovieAddict2016 · 2/10 · 9 February 2005]

"Envy" is bad for a number of reasons. Yes, there are unlikeable characters. That's not the problem. It is that they are unlikeable and we do not care for them at all. "The War of the Roses" featured unlikeable characters but due to proper introductions we grew to at least find ourselves interested in their fate, whereas in "Envy" the introduction is thin, the characters are never believable, and the plot only makes things worse.

Ben Stiller is simply repulsive in his role and I'm a fan of his work most of the time. Stiller campaigned to have this released straight-to-video and now I can see why. The movie proposes that he's "best friends" with Jack Black, but from the first five minutes we are given footage that seems to indicate Stiller hates Black. I thought this would develop into some sort of one-sided relationship (a la "The Cable Guy") but it never does, instead Stiller insists he's his "best friend" and I felt confused as he seemed to treat Black like, well, "poo." The movie's plot is ridiculous but it doesn't matter, because it's supposed to be an exaggerated morality tale. Unfortunately the message is lost in the mess. Walken gives a good performance but Black is off-key and annoying (and I usually find him very funny). No, it's not a horrible film but I still can't believe Barry Levinson ("Rain Man," "Sleepers") is responsible for this - it's not one of the worst films of all time but it could certainly be a whole lot better. I wish Va-Poo-Rize did exist - so we could make this film disappear forever....

I Envy the Idea.

[anaconda-40658 · 6/10 · 8 June 2015]

Envy (2004): Dir: Barry Levinson / Cast: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Rachel Weisz, Christopher Walken, Amy Poehler: Comedy about jealousy, greed and the very thing that creates bad out of good. Ben Stiller and Jack Black plays best pals who work together at a sandpaper factory but when Black comes up with an idea regarding a spray that can vanquish dog dung, Stiller refuses to go half on it thinking it ridiculous. When the idea excel Stiller is overcome with envy even though Black remains the same friend. When Stiller accepts advice from a homeless bum played by Christopher Walken, he ends up accidentally shooting Black's horse with an arrow while drunk. Realizing his wrong he struggles to conceal it. Great idea although the invention is never followed up upon. Well made comedy with fine directing by Barry Levinson who also made Wag the Dog and Rain Man. Stiller and Black are terrific at opposite ends whose common ground rests on forgiveness and friendship. Unfortunately Rachel Weisz is flat as Stiller's wife. Walken pulls off the humour effectively in his interjection and tragic poise. Amy Poehler plays Black's wife who is running for state senate. It might be interesting to see Black and Poehler in stronger comedic material. While the film could have elevated to greater heights with the invention it still presents a strong theme resulting in love, friendship and forgiveness. Score: 6 ½ / 10

Rachel Weisz is the only saving grace in this big pile of poo.

[milliganway · 1/10 · 2 May 2004]

Horrible and extremely unfunny film manages to not only make two of the most gifted comedians around look like idiots but manages to make the people who paid to see it look even worse. Jack Black and Ben Stiller are very good comedic actors who can make almost any film funny but they are horrible wasted in thankless roles that don't use their talents the way they should be used. Ben Stiller has a hit or missed reputation with his performances but his is so off target here, that he hits the ground with supersonic speed. Jack Black is so under used here that he has more of a supporting role than a co-star, which is a crime because he could have added more if he was giving more to do. Christopher Walken is great but he goes a little overboard with his weird performance, and Rachel Weisz does better than all of them with a funny performance that not only hits the mark but also makes you think that the script was much better than what was showed on screen. Unfortunately for her and Walken, they are not in the movie that much, and it would have benefited greatly if they not only had more screen time but also had a script to go with their funny performances. They seemed like they were in a different movie than Ben Stiller and Jack Black were in, and I would have paid to see that instead the pile of poo that is here.

The Ultimate Buddy Picture!

[lavatch · 6/10 · 16 April 2005]

There was excellent chemistry between Jack Black and Ben Stiller in this highly watchable comedy! The film conveyed a warm message in the unconditional loyalty of the Jack Black's kind-hearted character to a neighbor and co-worker envious of his success. The most effective moments were those that departed from the over-the-top comedy to reveal the truth about the envy of Ben Stiller's character for his friend. A criticism of this film was in the underdeveloped roles of the two wives. Also, Christopher Walken deserves mention for playing his J-Man character with great gusto. But this film really belongs to the two neighbors and their discovery of the core values of their friendship.

Like the curate's egg, good in parts

[oliver-123 · 5/10 · 2 October 2005]

Okay, it didn't cost me much to rent this movie, so maybe I'm feeling generous. Certainly, it wasn't the funniest movie in the world. But neither was it as bad as many commentators have made it out to be. There were genuinely funny moments (well, they made me laugh), like Ben Stiller's slow-burning explosion of rage at his boss or the sudden discovery that the horse's body is missing, and nice touches like the personalised number plates on Black's car. There were also pointless moments, like the scene with the President of Italy, and crass moments like the fooling around with silly accents for the rich Black's servants and the veterinary surgeon. Christopher Walken was memorably weird; both the wives played their parts well, I thought, and Stiller did give a good impression of a man consumed by envy. He is considerably subtler at going over the top than Jack Black, whose manic stuff can easily get tedious. So, good in parts.

But why should it be so hard to provide your son with flan (= caramel custard)?

What an odd film!

[shawn9210 · 8/10 · 30 April 2004]

I just saw this movie at a sneak preview and all I can say is..."What did I just watch????" And I mean that in a good and bad way.

The plot is really simple. Stiller and Black play friends/neighbors. Stiller is the focused, hardworker while Black is a dreamer. Black invents this idea to create a spray that erases poo. The idea becomes very popular, and Black becomes very rich. The extravagant lifestyle that Black gains and the fact that he still tries to be best friends with Stiller causes Stiller to become crazy with envy.

As I said, the plot is simple. Everything else is plain odd. The direction is odd, with a weird rotating opening shot to out-of-nowhere sped up sequences. The dialouge and the acting is very odd; odd in a rambling sort of way. And the sound track is the oddest thing in the movie, from the weird "Envy" song that keeps on reappearing to the scene where you think you're going to hear a classic 80's song but suddenly it's in Japanese.

So, the true question is this...is odd funny? That depends purely on the individual. I was cracking up at the shear unwavering weirdness of the movie. After the screening I heard people call it horribly unfunny and glad that it was free. Strangely, I understood their point. There are no jokes whatsoever, so if you aren't hooked by the uniqueness of it all, you will hate this movie. Absolutely hate it.

This movie is destined to lose a lot of money at the box office and become a DVD cult classic. If you can laugh at a movie with no real jokes, like Cable Guy or Punch Drunk Love, then I suggest you see it. If you don't, run away from this movie. It'll only make you mad.

A lot better than I was led to believe it would be

[buzzbomb-3 · 7/10 · 14 October 2006]

I liked this movie , it was funny and quirky.

I couldn't see anything wrong with the direction, the editing was good, the script moved without lagging, the main characters developed well and there were some nice touches like how the butler would greet Ben Stiller's character throughout the movie.

I wonder if there is a bit of an Ishtar syndrome happening with this movie. For some reason, be it Hollywood politics or whatever, the critics savaged the movie and the masses have joined in without question. It's a bit like the emperors new cloths but in reverse.

I don't really understand why people hate it, I don't think it's original or ground breaking enough to be a misunderstood classic but I'm pretty sure that in time it will find it's own audience who can appreciate it for what it is.

Give it a try and make up your own mind

toxic poo spray should be used on all copies of this film

[sblack-14 · 1/10 · 3 October 2005]

I am deeply saddened that any time or effort was spent on the production of this movie - I wonder what all of these amazing and funny, great actors were thinking while they were filming? Surely they saw no campy or humorous merit in it whatsoever. Were they thinking "this really bites BUT I'm getting some nice coin for it - so what the heck?!" I think they have compromised themselves to some degree by appearing in a production with such awful dialogue and direction. Not to mention horrible clothing and (cheap) sets.

I don't want my DVD rental money back - I want the one hundred and something minutes of my life back that I wasted watching this drivel.
