With the emphasis on "Dud"

My two young children didn't even like this film. Save your time and money. I thought it would be worth a try since my kids enjoyed "George of the Jungle" to the point that we later bought the video. This piece of disjointed garbage was obviously an attempt to follow up on the relative success of that film--but it fails miserably. The jokes were simply not funny and the script gave the impression that they were making this thing up as they went along. The slapstick didn't work at all and whoever played Whiplash, should be given at least 30 lashes-- just a terrible performance. Eric Idle tried to add just a little comedy to it, but even he couldn't save this dud.
