And I thought Rise of Taj was bad...


I don't normally write these but....wow.

I mean, you expect it to be bad. You know it will be. But nothing quite prepared me for this. There's bad. There's *beep* awful. And then there's this absolute steaming pile of garbage.

Horrible script aside, the lead has about one eighth of the charisma required to play the title character. But that's just the beginning of its failings.

Every joke falls flat. Literally every one. That's a rare feat.

Every performance is terrible, with the blonde love interest taking the cake. Throughout the entire movie she can't decide between goo goo eyed and unimpressed. Her performance resembles that of someone with a personality disorder.

The complete lack of plausibility and originality is startling. The jokes that could have been worth exploring are rip offs.

Everything is absolutely dire. The whole thing makes the Taj sequel look like a work of genius.

I don't know who they had in mind when writing this crap, but if it was anyone over the age of 13 with a learning disability, they failed.

1/10. The 1 is for the soft porn.


You know it makes sense.
