Unfathomably Bad!!!

I stumbled across this on On Demand last week. This film is so bad that I'm not even going to give specific examples of horridness. Just suffice it to say that it makes Red Dawn look like a documentary and makes Sling Blade look like Hamlet.

It's wayyyy beyond Showgirls bad and approaches Sliver-levels of badness. About an hour in, look for Andy Dick dressed up like HR Puffenstuff, wearing a fake beard and telling bad Carrot Top jokes in a Bill Cosby voice("why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway, coot coot coot?" for example). Howard the Duck ain't got nothing on this stinker.

Highly+++++ recommended for excessive sucking. Why this isn't a cult classic I don't know.

Ummmm, actually, everything Afghan said is accurate. When you watch movies like this, it makes you wonder how the film crew couldn't see the awfulness they were creating.

In addition to the weird old coot, I also found a subtle craptastic performance by the girl. Look for the non-dialogue scene in the train station. Brilliant in its badness.

Jim Stafford was good though [rolls eyes].

Afghan is completely justified in bashing this film. It is among the worst I have ever seen and lacks any redeeming qualities.

I caught it on cable two years and decided to check it out as the synopsis seemed kind of cool (a kid on the run from spies). Even if the acting and directing weren't great, with my innate of everything 80s, a decent enough story would win me over. After sitting through the first 2/3rds, I began to realize that there wouldn't be any cool spy stuff and I was stuck watching the non-adventures of two bumbling, non-threatening and unfunny mountain men and I got pissed. I'm a pretty forgiving movie viewer, so a movie has to have absolutely zero redeeming qualities to piss me off.

I always remembered the title and finally got around to seeing this morning when I couldn't sleep. Pure idiocy. Fast-forwardingly bad would be mine. How many points did the film just shut down and start dissolving into a sequence of stupid shots? Plus the bumbling spies/mountain men was face-palm city. The description (and year of release) always sounded like a White Water Summer clone. Rent that instead.
