I’m – not laughing, I’m I’m not laughing.
Lame, moronic teeny bopper waste of money and time. I mean, obviously I wasn’t expecting too much, let’s be real. It wasn’t like I was forced to watch this film, but since I hit puberty 20 years ago I really found the jokes and comedy beneath me. I am sure someone out there will really like this film, no doubt a member of Congress considering the level of intellect required to enjoy this dross.
If writer, Freedom Jones, had half a wit, she’d be a half-wit – to be fair, she did work in a Fraggle Rock reference, so I have to tip my hat there. The only saving grace was character actor, Adhir Kalyan whose over the top gay performance stole every scene, followed by a guy who is supposed to be an uber douche, Dr. Rick (David Walton) but when you realize the lead character Nick, (Eric Christian Olsen) is as much, if not more of a douche than the ‘bad guy’ you find yourself not caring about either of them. And would someone please tell Olsen to find his own voice, he still isn’t Jim Carrey – sheesh!
If you start to watch this cheerleader movie with your stupid goggles on you will force yourself to laugh, when inside you are crying out in terrible angst – “I knew I should have stayed home”, so, to appease your ego, you smirk at times, even laugh out loud, but inside you are dying and counting the moments until the end. The only thing worse than the movie is the people who actually swallowed this shitter up with a big spoonful of stupid. Congress, I’m looking at you!
Guys, you won’t see any skin, girls, you will but will wish you hadn’t; it is PG-13 after all. But, I am a child of the 80s, and a self-described knuckle-dragger; I need to see my ‘stupid’ movies provide some solace, sex or violence or anything in between, I saw more adult themes in Meatballs Part II (the crappy one with the ugly, creepy alien).
One character I loved, you will too, Sylvia (Margo Harshman) because she could hold her own acting, and her attitude and only real line, “I’m just saying”, is exactly how I felt watching this film. Also, she provided the much needed violence!
Score one for the promo department at Sony, they got me to watch this with the previews sucking me in, give them a safety. Overall, you won’t feel disgusted with yourself for seeing this film, but, if you are over 13 – you should. “I’m just saying.”
