Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Leslie, Leslie, Leslie, what happened to the days when you asked us to stop calling you Shirley? To the days when you and that Priscilla whatever-her-last-name-is were laughing while walking out of a movie theater playing, "Platoon"? To the days when--
I guess you get the idea. It's not that Leslie Nielson doesn't have the acting ability; it's that the movie is probably the stupidest and worst comedy to come along in my lifetime. It broke dead even with Mystic River in the laughs department: none (unless you count after the movie, in which case Mystic River is way ahead. Academy Awards, ha!). I kept waiting for something funny to happen and the movie to suddenly go good, for everyone to pop out and go, "Hey! It was all just a joke! We only wanted you to think that the movie sucked because then the rest of the movie is great!"
Didn't happen. Avoid at all costs. I mean, I LOVE Leslie Nielson and it still sucked. Oh, well; at least he's not doing porn.

For years I have been suffering Insomnia but then I got my hands on the DVD of 2001 A Space Travesty... for weeks now I have been trying to watch the movie for more than fifteen minutes but I can't... I fall asleep every time. So this movie is absolutely brilliant... as a cure for insomnia!
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
Marshall Richard 'Dick' Dix (Leslie Nielsen) is an appropriately bumbling secret agent who's assigned the task of travelling to the planet Phaebon with Agent Menage (Ophelie Winter) and rescuing the president (Damien Masson) who's been kidnapped by some intergalactic villains.Cue various mishaps and comical encounters.
This Nielsen spoof was originally released in 2000,but it's arrived on these shores four years later.I would have thought there'd be a good opportunity to release it on the back of Nielsen's appearance in the theatrically released Scary Movie 3,but,alas,there you go.It's had a whole lot of bad press,consistent bad reviews and making it,at one point,to a place no lower than #20 at one point on IMDB's very own bottom 100.
I don't want to complain too much of the lengthy wait I've had to endure to watch 2001:A Space Travesty though.As captain Gilder said to Trilling in Under Siege 2,"good things come to those who wait."Also,though quite far from a good thing,2001 has not been worthy of all it's negative publicity.I'm sure if Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had been headbilling it,it would have got a cinema release by now.
There were some very funny moments,but the rambling,increasingly predictable script made them emerge as rather few and far between.It's a bit too long as well and the plot begins to lack much in the way of cohision.The desperation is more evident with the constant bombardment of obvious and rather gratuitous sexually explicit jokes and yet another resurgence of that 'hidden birthmark' joke,stolen from Nielsen's own Naked Gun 2 and recently used in Rowan Atkinson's Johnny English.But it's a fairly slick presentation,just managing to over-shadow the see-through production values,and if it just manages to make you laugh enough,is just worth the price.And the duration.
For the title it's spoofing,though,it really doesn't send that particular film up much.And that's one of the things I was really looking forward to it for.**

This is like finding out that 6th grader who's always jumping over stuff with his mountainbike is lactose intolerant. Leslie Nielsen plays a guy called Dick Dix in this movie, and guess what, that's one of the better jokes. It's absolutely painful to see Leslie Nielsen in this movie, desperately looking for one bit of material that he could make work. The script centers mostly around slapstick that doesn't go over at all, but sometimes it takes a break from that and goes for some terrible political satire. This is a movie that gets a Clinton impersonator, and focuses on how he plays the saxophone. That's hard-hitting satire right there. Remember how Clinton always played the saxophone? I do, kinda. Later Nielsen narrates about a woman's finesse while she's beating everyone up. Comedy. Pavarotti also threatens to castrate a guy, the pope swears, the three tenors sing "In The Navy", did Germans write this or something? The type of comedy isn't even consistent, one time it's the aforementioned slapstick, then it's "satire", then suddenly the writers remembered they didn't have any in-jokes yet. So they put in like ten in a row. This thing sucks like you wouldn't believe.
When my nephew picked this out from the video store, I sighed but felt carefully optimistic. After we sat through an hour and a half of this unrelenting hell, I told him to leave and never return.
Let me give you an idea of just how bad this movie is. The end credits are literally the best part of the film. There are enough joke names and bits strewn about to make you crack a smile. The only problem is that to get there you have to slog through ninety minutes of the most unfunny slapstick I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing.
I'm serious: my thirteen-year-old nephew thought this movie was stupid. And it's rated R. What exactly is going on here? There's a zero gravity scene that's so painfully ridiculous that it sucked the humor not just from our living room, but adjoining apartments as well.
Believe me when I say I have done humanity a favor by viewing this film and warning the public to stay away. As bad as Rollerball is reputed to be, it can't be worse than this. All John McTiernan has to say is, "At least I didn't make 2001: A Space Travesty" and people will have to admit that he has a point. Had Albert Pyun directed this, people would have expected an apology.
Once more: I cannot stress how horrendous this movie is. Quit wasting time reading about this and go do something worthwhile, like churning butter or feeding the homeless. I consider this film one of the worst moments of my life thus far.

- TriviaThis film continued Leslie Nielsen's streak of playing bumbling characters who find themselves embroiled in absurd situations. This was also his last starring role in a parody film.
- ErroresOn the rocket, the stewardess places a beer bottle down for Dix. In the next shot, the bottle is in a different position.

Richard 'Dick' Dix: [narration] Now I know what it was like to be a Roman candle on the fourth of July, that this hero stuff was not for me. I was ready to get back on the beat, hear the wail of sirens and play with my handcuffs and my gun. Yes, I was ready to plant my flag back in Washington D.C., where every Congressman has the Constitutional right to be a felon. Good old America.
