Review of No Contest

No Contest (1995)
a B-comic
7 July 2006
watching first half hour of this movie, i couldn't stop thinking how the level of the script (and many other aspect of the movie) would be more appropriate for a comic, than for a Hollywood movie. And not a good comic, but kind of B-comic, which might fill the last pages of a cheap comic mag. As it turned out, the director used to direct Xena the Warrior Princess TV series, along with other cartoon-like flicks. Figures.

It was funny, but mostly unintentionally. Each and every bit is either too simplified, or too common-place, or too overdone. There's rare funny remarks, like "our passes are accepted world-wide". Oh, and special effects are sometimes half-way to Beasty Boys' video clip.

Thus, it was funny enough if you don't have anything better to do with your time.

I have, so i more or less won't see the rest after i write this; while i would watch the rest of it if i was resting on the couch, but it would be a waste of my only joint i just had. (it's on TV). I wish it had started later, i'd perhaps watch it whole.
