I HATE, HATE, HATE this film!!. I watched it last night just to see how bad it was, yet it totally was worse than I thought before I pressed "play". If for some unexplainable reason I watch this again, the fact it was worse than I expected it to be, will come back to my mind, even though I'll already know how bad it actually is during that next time. It's like listening to a song for the first time, but it's better by a long mile than you thought it would be, and if it's good enough with repeated listens, that first time you heard it will come back to mind, that's what good songs are made of, while the first example is what all SH*T films are made of.
Still, forget that, because there won't be a next time, as I won't be watching this piece of crap ever again.
Eric Idle is a comedy legend, yet lent his talents to this, same goes for all the cast and their cameos. As much as I like Blink 182, I thought their cameo in "American Pie" was the cringe of all cringe, I didn't think cameos could get worse, until I seen this.
The plotline is hammy, the acting is wooden, the story is told with the use of flashbacks and interviews, which only confuses the viewer and one flashback shows Alan Smithee out on a dinner date, then denying it happened in the interview!. It just don't add up and the one-liners are terrible. The story should have been told in chronological order; as the events happened, not go back and forth with flashbacks, it interrupted the flow. They should have done the flashbacks with different actors, supposedly acting out reconstructions of what is being told, then the actor playing the 'real' person appearing on screen after explaining their actions.
Also, the jokes like the basketball match where the guy calls "penalty" then gets corrected as its a "foul" I don't get. I do understand Alan Smithee singing "Itsy, Bitsy, Spider" is supposed to be him going loopy as he's in a mental asylum, but it's just stupid and annoying.
"The Brothers Brothers", yeah... HILARIOUS!!.
Using footage from "Die Hard 3: Die Harder" for the trailer of "Trio", just shows how lazy the filmmakers were, or was this supposed to be a spoof of poor film-making where stock footage gets used?. Still, it was stupid and made the film itself as a whole even more dreadful.
When it ended, I felt as if I'll never have to see this again and seen how bad it really is, I however also felt that I've wasted an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back. The soundtrack is just lame and that song at the end isn't much good either. It just sums up the film's terrible reputation.
