Worst movie ever

I am glad that I saw this movie so that I may be able to greater appreciate every other piece of cinema that has ever existed. This film did not make me laugh at all throughout it's seemingly endless running time. I fail to comprehend how the stars of this movie, which are all funny guys, could not alter the story at all to make the movie in the least bit humorous. I say this because I know that if Rodney Dangerfield or MacDonald had made any impact on the story, this film would would be infinitely more entertaining. I am able to accurately use the figure of infinity because as it stands, this film's entertainment value is 0, if not less, therefore, any improvement at all would be indeterminably large.

Bad, really really bad, but I did laugh a few times

I won't lie to you, this movie was bad. Really bad. It was god awful. But worthy of the bottom 100, I don't know. Kevin McDonald was part of the second greatest sketch comedy show, the Kids in the Hall(second only to the state). Paul Greenberg was in the Vacant Lot, a highly underrated show that I still don't get all of. I admit that I lost a few brain cells due to this movie, but It did have its moments of good comedy. Uh, I really can't think of any, but I know I laughed a few times. Oh god, I 'm remembering the impersonations. so bad so so bad.

Honestly, Dom Deluise was better in Loose Cannons and I hated that movie. and Rodney Dangerfeild should kick it so that we can remember how good he was doing stand up and in Caddyshack.

This movie was bad even for afternoon Showtime.

Do not waste your time on this junk.

This is the worst and dumbest movie of all times. It is the only bad movie I turned off in the middle & would not watch the ending. Bad,Bad,Bad...Take a short nap instead.

Ouch!

As a fan of really bad movies, this one was hard for even me to stomach. It made Anaconda look like a masterpiece of cinema. This movie reeks of Dom Deluise (coincidentally one of the stars). I love Kevin MacDonald from Kids in the Hall, but nothing could have made this movie worth making--for anyone involved! From horrible acting to horrible writing, this movie stinks through and through. I dare you to watch.

Silly, yet amusing parody

I have seen better parodies on the Godfather trilogy. This one is cute and harmless. It has a couple of funny jokes, but basically the movie doesn't deliver what it should. This movie is more of TV movie you catch while sitting bored at bed with the flew, looking for something to cheer you up. That is what happened to me. I find it extremely difficult to realize who will go to see it at the cinema or rent it on DVD. I don't think the lead was so good, maybe if they would bring someone more experienced to play the lead the movie would be what 'spaceballs' is to 'star wars'.

I liked the burp scene... :) 6 of 10
