Worst movie ever!, 6 July 2004
1/10
Author: clockworxblu from Canada

If there was academy awards for the worst movie ever, this movie would win them all. Worst Picture, Worst Performance, Worst Music.. Although the movie is justly classified as comedy, believe it or not, it's a drama!! and that makes it even more funny. The main character suffers from something I like to call "the Chaplin syndrome". At one point of the movie he says "it's a birth defect". I would classify it as screenplay/directing defect. And it's cureless! Every serious director should consider watching this movie at least once. It will be a rewarding experience. It's full of clichés and bad acting. You will learn a lot from it!
