I expected it to be a weak film based on its overall rating of 3.2, but I had no idea. Generally speaking, the lower the film rating is the higher the entertainment value is, at least in my mind. Take for example the Leprechaun movies, low cinematic value, but high entertainment value - seeing as the whole film is so stupid that you can't help but laugh. In this case, however, I have never seen such bad acting. Honestly, not one person in the film could act. Jim the gardner was particularly weak as he just stood around and listed every cliche in the book. Typically I would laugh at the bad scripting if it were delivered with a modicum of effort, but every actor lacked commitment. It was like they went to the Maryland Renaissance festival on the day of shooting and said, "Hey you, yes you random boy in the corner, will you be in our movie?" Sufficed to say, the film lacked any cinematic value with its props and setting all looking like a poorly constructed primary school play. It also lacked any entertainment value, as I, who have a ridiculously liberal sense of humor, found myself falling asleep instead of laughing. Let me say, don't see it with any intent to see a serious movie, and don't see it to get a good laugh. I'm going to go get the Goonies to recover.
