On a Bet!

Much has already been said about how truly rotten this movie is. So I'll spare you details in my review.

I watched this movie on a bet. That is to say, I bet my twin brother $20.00 on something unrelated and lost. I was broke at the time and couldn't pay him until payday. So my twin bro offered me this: Watch BABY GENIUSES 1 AND 2, back-to-back and start-to-finish and he would forgive me the debt.

I should have paid him the money. I could have stretched my grocery money and ate noodles the rest of the week. See, I adore my bro. He's a great guy, but he's awfully slick with things like this and I should have known better. These two movies were the most appalling things I have ever scene (and I'm a HUGE fan of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE).
