      Downright Awful
      It looks awful, it sounds awful, it is awful. Erik Clausen's social realism is not funny nor well made. This movie is about 2 touring streetperformers being joined by an unusually dim-witted girl. Any attempt at humor falls flat on the ground. Embarrassing, elephantine movie. Avoid it. 1/10
