User Reviews

my god this is bad.

Let's just say that when I was 14 I had the lovely experience of being an extra in this film. At the time I thought it was so cool. Then I saw the finished product. I was up at 3:00 in the morning wathing HBO and there I was, walking in the background of the most terribly acted/directed thing I had ever seen. The sound was poorly engineered, the film was over-exposed most of the movie, and it had absolutely no story! So much for being able to catch a glimpse of myself on the big screen....IT WENT STRAIGHT TO CABLE!!! (well it might have come to very select theaters) And yes there is a reason. Even though I was in it here and there, I couldn't even watch the whole thing! The fact that the IMDB has this listed just amazes me. It just goes to show you that they really do have every movie EVER MADE listed here.
