Of course it's a stupid movie.


Any film with a name like this is intended to be stupid, as well as funny. Or intended to be funny by being stupid. I thought it was stupid, and I liked it. It seems silly to me to critique it very carefully: it is the kind of thing to watch if you are stoning out, drinking, and maybe taking downers. (Not too many!) You laugh your behind off, and when you come to in the morning, if you do come to, you will remember the fun of laughing, but not the awful film, itself. What more could you ask for?

I don't think you have to be inebriated to enjoy this movie. It is stupid, but it's the kind of stupid movie only really intelligent people can make. Wilt was better but this is still fun.

Put your knickers on and make me a cup of tea! Two Sugars!

This is such a dumb movie... But one of a handful of really dumb movies that I find really funny.

It takes the degree of courage possessed only by genius to sit through this once. To sit through it a second time would be as stupid as this movie.

This movie wasn't released; it didn't escape; it was deliberately kicked out of the studio, under cover of darkest night, by a red-faced security guard who had been pushed by it to the brink of mass murder. He didn't commit the mass murder after all or you would have read about it in the papers.

Some movies are a waste of talent. This movie is a waste of film, and of the chemicals used to develop it. That being recognized by the authorities, the screenwriters had their pencils confiscated and their eyes gouged out, and the actors and actresses who participated in this atrocity were prosecuted for giving the appearance of life to the irretrievably lame, and sentenced to B-movie hell for the rest of their natural lives. And then artifically kept alive beyond their natural lives in order to continue to punish their artificiality.

Recommended for those who are dumber than dead rocks, Republican politicians, conservatives, one's worst enemies, school teachers, and equivalent redundancies. May brighten the lives of the incurably insane, but that is neither promised, guaranteed, nor expected.

This isn't a movie to put down; it is a movie not to pick up in the first place.

Certain to induce self-hatred in movie projectors and shame in movie screens.

I thought this film was very funny.

I'm a totally bitchin' bio writer from Mars!

It is indeed a stupid movie — and there's nothing wrong with that. But I didn't think it was particularly funny or entertaining. 4/10 stars from me.
