Quotes

Captain Wack: I only had four deaths on my watch.
Moondog: Only four?
Captain Wack: Four deaths in over eight straight years of dolphin touring. It's a terrific record. Now, I've been stripped of my license temporarily on five separate occasions but each time, I get it reinstated due to a technicality I never quite understood.

User Reviews

It's so bad we actually had to ask for a refund for our tickets!

This movie is just a whole new level of failure, no story, no script, nothing funny at all and it's utterly boring, I had to live the movie theater after 30 mins after trying to convince myslef that I drove all the way there and paid the money ! I could've filmed a way better movie with my iPhone and a $10 bill ! P.S. I was the last one to leave the movie theater & it wasn't even halfway through !
