This movie is unbelievably awful - just rotten. I'm stunned that it even achieves a so-so rating of 5. I'm not a critic and never saw the original. And I enjoy movies not so much for realism, sensibility or anything else - just entertainment. This was painful to watch. "Weapons of Mass Destruction" could be nuclear, biological, chemical... or this movie in wide distribution.
If you like clever comedies ("Mother"), quirky comedies ("The Big Lebowski"), plain stupid comedies ("Dumb and Dumber"), entertaining comedies ("Full Moon Over Blue Water"), or any other comedy whatsoever, you will find nothing at all to like about this movie. It's sickeningly stupid, moronically idiotioc - I just can't think of enough bad things to say about it but this movie is so rotten I'm tempted to go on and on.
This is one of those movies that you just wonder how on earth it could ever be made let alone attract stars such as Brooks and Douglas? And I am huge fans of both. Didn't the people working on it at the time have a hint at how entirely bad the thing was going to be? The writing is hideous - like a "D" grade film student's first draft term paper. (He did the editing as well.) Wasn't there a studio executive somewhere deciding whether or not to release it thinking he was committing career suicide by doing so?
It's not always easy to find movies that are simply a complete waste of time. This movie is in lonely company in my opinion as having absolutely not a single entertaining thing going for it and therefore no reason to bother watching it. I guess that means "death by firing squad" for me because there's no way I'd watch this again.
