This film is so bad you HAVE to watch it... if that makes sense?!

The plot keeps you hanging on until the bitter end. Only because it is so awful you gotta watch it all to see if it could possibly get any worse, which it consistently does for the entire duration.

It’s hard to rate because the storyline is absolutely dreadful, yet somewhat entertaining. How each scene unfolds from one ridiculous scenario into something unimaginably bizarre (and completely random) just keeps you glued to the screen. This is the only redeeming feature of this otherwise abysmal film.

Watch it and you'll see what I mean (but only if you're incredibly bored).

Admit it, you actually think it's good. In drunk stupor the other night I caught it on Freeview, quite enjoyed it, and that was with the mute button on.

I saw the last half hour of this one a few years ago and made the mistake of thinking the parts I'd missed were interesting... then a few years later I sat down and watched it from start to finish.

Abysmally bad doesn't really sum it up accurately but it'll do in a pinch.

This is not a bad movie. This is not a pointless, surreal movie. Everything makes sense you just have to PAY ATTENTION. Apparently not many people can do that around here.

A film can make sense and be a bad movie.
Which this is.

I liked it. I didn't think it made sense though. It was trippy. Perhaps it does start to make sense if you watch it more than once.

Apparently not many people can do that around here.

That's a flimsy excuse used to try and combat the fact that not everyone likes what you like.
