The Worst Film Ever
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
