It's astonishing how many logical inconsistencies this movie has. Usually, I can turn off my brain and enjoy films of this sort, but that's difficult here. Many scenes come across as thoughtless and shallow. The film does attempt to include exaggerated moments with a wink, but fails miserably at it. These scenes are so poorly executed that you can't help but shake your head at the wasted potential. It seems as if these over-the-top scenes are there just to distract from the lack of attention to detail in the screenplay. If you're going to make a trash film, at least have a love for the genre. But here, it seems the sole purpose is to exploit the genre and visuals to crudely lure people into the theater.
