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

    There are many mysteries in life. For example: Why did any of the people other than Carrot Top agree to appear in this movie? Why did anyone distribute this movie? Why did anyone pay money to see it? I guess none of these questions will ever be answered, but one thing I know for sure, this movie is one of the worst ever made with a budget this big. It would already be bad, but the addition of Carrot Top's "humor" makes it even worse. The only entertainment one could possibly get from this movie is to burn it, smash it, or otherwise destroy it in an amusing fashion. If you were to rank it against every movie ever made, it would be right between "Problem Child" and "Biodome". Nuff said.

    Rip norm

    Board spelt bored rip Norm. Box office poison.

    The interview on Conan def worth a watch unlike this film.

    "Wait...

    ...You left Melrose Place to do a movie with Carrot Top!?"

    -Norm Macdonald to Courtney Thorne-Smith on the Conan O'Brien show in '97

    Really can't sum up how bad this movie is better than that.

    Chairman of the BORED

    Yes. Carrot top is in this film. Thanks to Norm Macdonald for a heads up on this one though. Sorry to Courtney Thorne Smith for being on this.

    More plot holes than comedy.

    The only interesting thing about this movie is that almost everyone who has a speaking role was in an episode of Seinfeld. The plot is that he needs to get the rent money and then they just forget that. He's an inventor who inherits a multi-million dollar manufacturing company and never thinks to make any of his great inventions. Just like in every "comedy", there's the completely useless love story that does nothing but add 20 minutes to an already unbearable movie. This movie is somehow less funny than Carrot Top's stand up comedy which is a miracle. If you want to try to remember all the bit characters from Seinfeld, this could be watchable. If you want to be entertained, run away.

      When in the museum, Natalie indicates a picture of Jethro Tull, the inventor of the seed drill, though the picture shown is actually one of Nikola Tesla, inventor of AC current technology and electrical engineer.
