Watching this on television the other day, I instantly felt great remorse for star Leslie Nielsen. After the success of the "Naked Gun" series, he has been restricted to a career of playing the same character over...and over...and over....
This time, he is US Marshall "Dick" Dix (the first of many human anatomy puns/so-called "jokes"). I wonder how long it took them to come up with that one in the writing room.
"How about Agent Butt K. Isser?" "How about Agent T. Itz?" "No, wait guys! I've got it! Dick Dix! Haha we're comedic geniuses!" The budget is very obviously on the low end. Special effects are terrible. The film tries to lampoon the space travel segments of Kubrick's "2001" and fails miserably. Nielsen sucks food through a straw and can't manage to get it up the straw the whole way. Hahaha I chuckled all night thinking of that one! Or how about the woman in the back of the space shuttle who has huge breasts and manages to accidentally shed out of her clothes, which float around and slap Nielsen in the face? No, it couldn't have been the ugly fat woman whose clothes magically disappear...it's the busty blonde...I love Hollywood.

I just wanted to make that joke because this movie is painfully awful.
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.
I'm curious: doesn't Leslie Nielsen (once a decent actor) read the scripts of the movies he's playing in anymore? It seems that nowadays all the writers or director of a movie need to do is tell Nielsen: Hey we're gonna make fun of some other movies, interested? And Nielsen would just sit there like, 'yeah'!
Instead of what the title would assume, 2001's main victim isn't A Space Odyssey but the more recent Men In Black. But, having said that, I cannot think of one decent joke relating to that movie. Nor can I tell here what the story is all about... it's got something to do with the president being swapped with a clone, or not, or whatever.
By lack of anything good to offer director Goldstein just throws some lusty women into it, but perhaps it says all that no well-known woman apparently would like to take up the job, so we have to do with an unknown French woman and an unknown German one...
In fact, I don't know of any reason why I should recommend this movie. Some lame jokes are just about OK, but nothing more than a 2/10 if you'd ask me.

- Citazioni
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.
