I am so happy I watched this movie.

It is so bad and inept that it rates as my #1 all-time moronic movie.

Everything the characters do and say is not funny but moronic.

To top it off it relies on the two most moronic antics in movie production: 1 - verbalizing what is shown on the screen 2 - repeating a line to transform it into humor

Ref. 1 - Are American viewers blind? Why do American movie makers presume we don't get what we see if it is not verbalized and explained? Millions of dollars are spent on visual scenes but lo and behold, a character has to say what we just saw. Why not save the visual side? If they throw away the pictures and send the soundtrack as a radio play nothing will be lost.

Ref. 2 - Say a line, not funny. Repeat it and it goes funny. Re-repeat it and it is more funny, re-re-repeat it and it is very funny, re-re-re-repeat it and it is hilarious. And then explain the joke, so we, the dumb audience, get it. Jeeeezus.

This movie is made by 6-year-old minds for a 5-year-old audience.
