User Review
Didn't laugh once
Rating: 1/10
My kids wanted to see this movie so I dug up some free passes and took
them. What a horrible waste of time. Not only didn't I laugh, I didn't
even crack a smile. Neither did my kids.
This movie is horrible -- pure and simple. If anyone recommends this
movie to you, please dial 911 and report a crime against nature.
Showing this movie to inmates could be considered cruel and unusual
punishment.
Do not watch this movie under any circumstances. I would have rather
watched Nerds IV or Troll 2 than this hunk of garbage.
