This Movie Got Made - That is the Scary Part

whitesheik

Only on the IMDb can you find people trying to justify and/or tell you that perhaps one of the worst movies ever made is not bad, or it's terrific, a great ride. Listen, either this place is populated by complete morons or it's populated by ten-year-olds - those are the only two explanations when a pathetic waste of celluloid like this gets more than one star from anyone.

I mean, has no one here actually seen a good movie? Is that it? Yes, I'm reviewing the "reviewers." I'm talking to you. Or do you take delight in being that idiot who does this just to mess with people. Yeah, I'm talking to you.

How anyone read this script and said, "Yeah, gotta make the movie," is anyone's guess. I don't care what it cost, it's beyond inept. Poor Shirley Knight. Poor John Getz. The rest of the cast give career-ending performances, especially the fellow who plays George Axelrod (wink wink - we get it, really we do - it's not clever, but we get it). I have never seen worse acting in a film. And that includes Plan Nine. And the little girl? Did the screenwriter think he was doing Willy Wonka? I did love when she was in shock and mumbling, "It's all my fault." If this were the Zucker Brothers, someone would have slapped her across the face and said, "Yeah, you little creep, it is all your fault."

The longest seventy-eight minutes in film history. And how about that final skyline shot that lasted forty seconds for no reason, before fading to the end titles? And then remove the six-minute main titles and you really have the longest seventy-two minute film ever made. Did this get released? Netflix it if you dare. Ooh, and a movie with nine characters trapped in a small elevator is shot in - wait for it - scope. It doesn't get worse than this, folks. Seriously. To the comedians here that liked it - you get less stars than I gave this film.

score 1/10
