A Sparkling Gem of Badness, 5 January 2003
Author: mhoffmanartist from Albuquerque

Those with a true, well-developed epicurean taste for badness should definitely seek out this oddball film. It fails on many, many levels, but it ain't for lack of trying. Admittedly, the "time loop" sequence at the end is weak, but after watching all the way through, what else can you reasonably expect--Citizen Kane? Tony Trelos' Tom Jones impressions are as embarrassing as the original, which is not to say Jones is an untalented man. There are several scenes which offer a lot more than many snobby armchair reviewers will care to admit, if they even mention them--case in point being the swimming pool scene, in which the crippled husband charges his wife repeatedly in his wheelchair, to the roars and strains of a Mexican bullfight. Is this film good? Is it bad? Decide for yourself, but definitely do NOT avoid. Whatever doesn't kill you can only make you stronger, so embrace!
