Trivia

Danny Glover was available for only less than a week for filming so they wrote into Ahab's back story that he was burned by a dragon and could not allow his skin to be exposed to the sun. The few scenes where you see his face were indoors, at night, or during a snowstorm. The other scenes were played by a double with the lines read by Glover in a studio on his last of availability.

User Reviews

A Waste Of Time

This movie is so full of clichés that it could actually be a spoof.

• Bad acting (especially the main characters with their permanent

"WTF??" look on their faces)That's why Danny Glover seemed like he was overacting cause he was one of the only talented actors in the movie.

• From the beginning almost everything that will happen later is

obvious

• The good-guy & the cool chick everyone has a crush on are the main

characters (as always)

• Almost nothing that happens has a deeper meaning or reason



• Most of the characters are so flat that you will be disappointed if

you want to know a lot about their background stories.

• Many things the characters do don't make any sense

If you have never seen a movie before or if you want to have a good laugh you might like the movie.

The movie was funnier than its Outtakes. Without wanting to be.
