Kinda Funny
bux6 May 2003
Nothing new, nothing great, but kinda funny in spots. There was no one in it I ever heard of, but I don't watch that many newer pictures these days. No big belly laughs, but a few good chuckles. I don't think I could sit through it a second time though.

The worst movie I have seen, by far!
waynendir28 November 2004
I go to well over 100 movies a year. This is undoubtedly the worst movie I have ever seen. The plot (and the execution of the plot), the costumes, the dialog, just about everything was horrible. The "trailer" was about 30 seconds long and it contained all of the best parts of it. I enjoyed just the first very few minutes as it showed scenes of Wildwood, New Jersey's boardwalk which I had visited about 15 years before. That was the extent of my enjoyment as the rest of the movie quickly degenerated as low as a movie could go.

A friend and I went to see this movie. Initially there were about 30 people in the audience of all ages and genders. After about 45 minutes my friend and I were the only people still there. Everyone else had left. We stayed until the end to see just how bad it would continue to be (and it was). The movie opened in Los Angeles in about 7 theaters. It was gone in a week and their website disappeared about a month later. The website listed where the movie was showing for that first week and was never updated before it disappeared. It never came out on video or DVD as far as I know but it did make it to cable TV.

Crappy Skippy
e-shabalin15 June 2006
Horrible, disaster! I've spend 5 euro for DVD and was very disappointed. Low budget movie with old jokes that won't work anymore. Maybe on younger generations that haven't seen much yet, this movie i suppose can be funny or inspiring for them. But once again, this is another debut movie of new actors. To get through they need to do much better job than that, unveil your talents, become a trademark. Without charisma people won't remember your name and as an performer you have no future. But if you want just to be on screen, than don't do movies, please. Somehow this pathetic comedy came on DVD and did it to Europe. I have always place for a good comedy in my movie collection, but please make me remember your acting, your jokes, your face and your name...

Probably the worst movie ever
Cyclops19745 August 2006
I saw this movie on the bus back from my summer holiday. I thought the bus driver was joking. I've seen better acting in low budget porn movies. Really. What were they thinking when they were making this movie? No one will ever buy this. The style is for 4 year old kids, but the language and violence is for adults. Neither will want to watch this. Really. Raspberry material. No wait. Even that award will give to much credit to this movie. Bad directing. Bad acting. Bad photography. Bad story, or actually, almost no story at all. This is the sort of movie that gives the industry a bad name. It looks like someone taped this with his own video camera. I think you get the point. Don't watch this, unless you've really got nowhere else to go. Like being tied up in your chair. Or on a driving bus.

One of the worst films ever
faustocausto5 November 2008
This is without a doubt between the worst films ever ever ever made in history of cinema, this director must be the new Ed Wood. Not even that, because at least he was so bad that he was good. This is so bad that you feel pity. Not for him, for your brain. Please mister Dyonisius be a Dentist or an accountant or whatever else. There is no plot there is no, acting, there is no nothing! I really have nothing else to say about it but apparently i have to keep writing. Just don't watch it seriously, your brain will feel offended by it, use this time to clean your drawers, organize alphabetically your DVD collection, sort your towels by colors, seriously ANYTHING would be better that watching this awful piece of... images.

Surprisingly Funny!!!
karentaucher30 September 2005
I have actually seen this film on Showtime. It was playing early in the morning while I was getting ready for work. Once I started watching it I just couldn't stop. I recognized several popular character actors and locations that I've seen I'm much bigger films. The movie starts a little bit slow in Wildwood, New Jersey on the Boardwalk and ends up in Hollywood. You could tell the people who chose the locations live on the west side. Its like a day in the life of a Santa Monica resident. Skippy works out at Golds Gym in Venice, then he's posing at Muscle Beach. He in the Fire House when he wins the contest and has lunch with his buddy Larry at the Earth Cafe. Then he's seen eating dinner at Zen Zero. You have to be a local to know all about all those spots. I would definitely recommend this movie for small children. recommend renting this one.

Had some funny moments.
drlesliecole9 July 2003
Had the occasional funny moment. Especially enjoyed some of the funny attempts of Skippy trying to find a job. Sadler is funny and always a joy to watch in any role. Liked the music tone and attempts with the sound to make more out of this low budget movie than was obviously there.

One of the funniest films I've ever seen
bobby-7114 May 1999
This is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. It had such a diverse cast. I saw a lot of actors that I recognized from some huge blockbuster films. I especially enjoyed the character of Brandon Chase. It's about time they put in a real man for a male lead and not one of these wimps trying to play a cool guy. He seemed like a blend of Sylvester Stallone and Andy Garcia.

The industry needs more films like this one!
lea-81 June 1999
Very funny film, great cast. There were a lot of star names in the cast but my favorite characters were Skippy & Brandon. Skippy was delightful, and Brandon Chase was to die for! Can't wait to see "more" of both of them.
