User Reviews

Alright flick w/ Eddie Deezen

This movie was sort of cool because you got to decide what would happen. The theater was equipped with little joysticks in the armrests. You could choose 1 of 4 choices as to what would happen. There were maybe 6 times in the movie where they would stop and ask for the theater goers to vote on what the star would do. You were encouraged to press the buttons as many times as you could and the votes would appear on the screen. Unfortunately, the story wasn't that good, but the idea was pretty cool. Besides, Eddie Deezen was in it.
