User Reviews

So bad I couldn't watch it all the way through

I like Hasselhoff - he's not afraid to make fun of his image and has done some really good stuff in recent years.

But this film is pure junk right from the outset.

The acting is awful and the comedy unfunny. Whoever the lead character is (can't be bothered looking him up) is not a good actor and is ridiculously childish in the way he tries to force humour where there isn't any.

Don't bother wasting time or money on this rubbish.
