4/10
One trick pony
4 December 2004
Well, where to start...

This film had so much promise but simply fails to deliver. It has one joke that is its premise, but the script is just terrible. I think I laughed about 4 times during the entire film. I just cannot understand how this script could've been allowed to have been made into a film. It seemed like someone thought-up quite a funny idea and then thought "oh, instead of being a quite funny sketch or two, let's make it a film". Thus, it's dragged out and the script is filled with loads of 'jokes' which just don't work. It's quite watchable; the acting is quite good, but that's not enough to save it. It's a spoof, a parody, but it isn't a comedy. That may seem oxymoronic, but it's a fact. I'd hoped for something as good as Naked Gun or Airplane; I didn't get it. As hard as the actors tried, the film just can't escape the fact that it has so little substance that it ends up a major disappointment.
