User Reviews

I don't understand why people actually like this movie

This got to be one of the worst movie I've seen so far.How can a movie like this hit the Big Screen is a mystery. It's more like a home-made videos, made especially for KIDS. And I'm really surprised at seeing some of the cast, or is it because they have some personal commitment to fulfill, that they were forced into acting in this "Z-Graded movie". There's nothing at all worth mentioning in this movie. The jokes weren't funny, the sound effect was silly,the plot was non-existent etc... Anyway I couldn't watch till the end, because I knew i was gonna breakdown, as it was sheer torture for me. The title of the movie should be 'Super Flopper'. Normally spoof films are bad but this one is super bad. If you enjoy this movie then I recommend - Loony tunes show, Weather Report, watching a grass grow and so on..
