There once was a film that BLEW....
13 August 2000
After having seen this movie, I felt HAD.

I've not felt this strongly to WARN anyone who might spend either time and/or money on this insipid and lousy movie since "Shazam". Which was my own fault, heh! WHY, I hear you cry.

Well, for starters, the box said "HILARIOUS comedy", which is a downright LIE. I think I SMIRKED about 90 mins into the film.....that was as good as it would get. Furthermore it boasted to be by the same people as Smth abt. Mary, thus alleging it to have any sort of writing merit. About half way through there was still no real plot development. If it didn't crawl along like a geriatric snail then it was blazing ahead like a gramma on speed. Baldwin doesnt change his facial expression all movie and several seemingly illogical subplots are thrown in ("Norm" is gay), only later to apparently disappear...as I hope this movie will into the "bargain bin". The father-son talks, the evil principal, the bad kid sprouting a conscience, the jaded old admissions director turning around on account of 4 rambled words......it all served to make me wonder to myself WHY good money was spent on making this.

Needless to say, one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
