Trivia:
A scene in the film explains Pat’s sex with Japanese subtitles. It then had a worker walking in front of the subtitles while vacuuming so that Pat’s sex could not be determined by viewers. When shown on television now the subtitles are no longer included. more
Goofs:
Continuity: After Pat gets fired from looking into people's mail, he walks into the store to get a few personal items. When he's talking to Tippy about getting the personal items, the eye dropper and the deodorant stick disappear and reappear between shots. Tippy puts the eye dropper and the deodorant stick inside the bag three times. The bag clearly contains three of everything, except the napkins. more

'It Sucks: The Movie': better title, 24 January 2004
2/10
Author: Scott LeBrun from Winnipeg, Canada

Ill-advised attempt to create a feature film vehicle for the disgusting, creepy androgynous "Pat" character that Julia Sweeney created for "Saturday Night Live".

To begin with, most people knew this film shouldn't have been made in the first place. How prophetic.

Flat, forced comedy in which "Pat" searches for fame and fortune while romancing the equally gender-bending "Chris" (David Foley). Charles Rocket plays Kyle, a neighbor of "Pat"'s who ruins his marriage when he becomes unhinged in his quest to confirm Pat's gender.

Now, I like Sweeney; I really, really do, but she'll have to bear some of the blame for this 'comedy' that provides little to no entertainment value. I think I had two good laughs in total.

For once, a film that I can believe should go on the IMDB bottom 100 list.

Even at 78 minutes this film is too long; an SNL skit that was vaguely amusing at best is stretched out too darn far.

I got to say, though, for such a bad comedy, Rocket certainly plays his weirded-out character well.

If I DIDN'T like Sweeney, I would easily give this 1/10.

As it stands...2/10.
