I was 12 years, lived in the suburbia of Tel-Aviv and I was already a cinephile.
For some reason, my friends thought that it will be "cool" to see that movie. I asked them to reconsider because Apollo 13 just premiered that weekend and I knew it's a movie that should be watched on a big screen.
But I was 12, from a small town full with people who didn't aspire to know anything greater than their own existence.
Almost 30 years later, I quite forgot what was the story about, but I do remember I understood the meaning of the word cringe that day.
Guess that all people involved wanted to to work and that's what they managed to put their hands on at the time.
What amazed me when I googled it, that this infamous piece of mediocracy has not less than 2 directors and 3 writers.
10 years later when I produced an independent feature for the first time in Israel, and went through the production hassle and challenges, I remembering asking the director one day "how in the world, anyone ever approved such a piece of crap while we pay with blood to make something which is 100 times better".
The director became a successful director over the years, so I stand by my question.
And for the creator of this movie, even if you needed to work, you could have done theatre, commercials, kids series, a documentary about anything but this. Shame on you.
