      Watch this all time favorite movie!
      Ebert/Roeper give this one three thumbs down. This experience is one that will be treasured in the local dust areas of the videostores. This movie is one to stay clear of. It is loaded with bad actors, worse script and worst storyline ever. So, if you wanne give yourself a mind-numbing hard time, go and get this movie. It'll blow your mind......... to crap.
