I guess I am the only person to see this movie. I think it's only playing in about 10 markets right now, all of them in Florida. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would from the ads- the star, Dave Sheridan, is a very funny comedian who is an alumnus of Second City and appeared in small roles in "Scary Movie" and "Ghost World". He is reminiscent of a young Jim Carrey in the role of the helmet-sporting Frank McKlusky. During the movie, he dons several "disguises" that are pretty funny- the female gymnast scene probably being the best of the bunch. For some reason, there were a lot of '80s references in this movie too- from Scott Baio to Willie Tyler and Lester to ALF (ok, a poster of ALF on a wall in one scene), there are a lot of cult icons in this movie that give it a kitsch status. Cameos by funny people like Saturday Night Live's Tracy Morgan and an embarrassed-looking Andy Richter help make it watchable too. In fact, I think this is probably the single weirdest cast ever assembled for one movie- and wait until you see female wrestler Chyna in her assortment of "sexy" outfits throughout the film.
So if it is playing in your area, take a chance on this movie and you might just get some laughs out of it. Or look for it on video in a few weeks where I am sure it will soon appear. Maybe next time Sheridan will be given a chance rather than having his movie dumped into a handful of theaters with little promotion.

This guy is trying to be Jim Carrey. Maybe it's not his fault. Maybe the director made him do this. Facial expressions and mannerisms are Jim Carrey rip-offs. He even looks a little like Jim Carrey>
Some good comedy talent in the cast, but if they had it to do over again, I'll be they'd all pass. Too stupid to be funny. I don't know if it was a lack of money, time, or possible the director was inept, or the editing was done at the Hemp Users Society Annual Expo.
Whatever it was, it resulted in a movie that is a waste of time. Fortunately, I didn't pay to buy or rent this flick. It was on one of my cable channels. Not recommended.

This movie was a terrible attempt at comedy. The plot was beyond stupid and the actors were just plain awful. Jokes failed miserably. I guess Dolly Parton and Randy Quaid owed someone a favor because I can't believe they actually would want to be in this crap. And if this is what Chyna had in mind when she left wrestling; then maybe she should think again.
FINAL VERDICT: Trash! Avoid it at all cost!

This movie is so bad that the producers would not let it be released into theaters. Although it is awful I would suggest that you watch this movie because it is very entertaining. Entertaining in the sense that it is so bad. The movie's bad acting and cameo appearences will make you laugh, not the plot or punchlines.
I guess if Jim Carrey is going to make serious films like The Majestic, they need someone to fill his old shoes. They found him, David Sheridan. This movie was definitely Jim Carrey-esque...not only does Dave Sheridan act exactly like Jim Carrey, but he happens to look remarkably like him. Unfortunately, the script is ridiculous. A few laughs are provided, but mostly it's groans. If you've been missing the funny Jim Carrey, you might want to try this film for a fix.

- TriviaThe movie received a limited theatrical release. Screenwriter Mark Perez said "Disney only released it in five theaters in Florida". Perez recalls that, while attending a screening with his parents in Florida, "They thought I had bought out the whole theater but really just nobody showed up. It was just me and my family watching Frank McKlusky."
