what a stinker...

I just saw this tonight at the L.A. Comedy Festival. Apparently the word "comedy" in the festival is not meant to be taken seriously, since they showed this dismal film. Which is no comedy. Not a film either really, so much as a camera pointed at actors.

This is the only bad performance I've ever seen Christina Ricci give. Poor thing knew she was trapped in a bad scripts with an incompetent director -- what to do? Just muddle through like she did and move on to the next project. She must've needed a payday.

I cannot even comment on the other actors' performances since the script and direction was so bad. This is the worst movie I've seen in years. I'm racking my brain trying to think of a worse movie, and I can't.

The story is so lame and heavy handed, and it makes no sense. Witches at a Renaissance Faire? Playing the piano (not invented yet) and singing into a microphone (not invented yet) like a lounge singer? People being forced to really live like a peasant and take orders from noblemen? I mean, the people pretending to be peasants and noblemen have to.

No wonder they can't get distribution for this movie. Too bad, since they would easily win all the Golden Turkey awards.

I heard the producer enthusiastically telling people at the screening that they were going to show it in theatres near all the Renaissance Faires. Uh, dude, considering how bad you make everyone look at the Faires, I don't think they're going to be flocking to it.

If you see this on Netflix or something, don't waste your time.
