objectionable racist trash

Rating: 1/10 (12 April 2004)

This movie stinks to high heaven. The script is so unfunny that no-one over the age of 7 would find it amusing. The acting is so bad that even Along Came Polly looks good beside it. The direction is sloppy. Overall, every scene is utterly predictable.
More seriously, this movie is ideologically offensive. For a start, it's deeply racist. According to this film, native Hawaiians are dirty, lazy, stupid, and socially unsophisticated. Additionally, the movie never misses the chance to make a homophobic wisecrack, even throwing in an androgenous zoo worker to create even more opportunities for seriously cheap jokes. To make matters worse s(he) is given Viking hair - evidently in the director's opinion, people from Northern Europe haven't got beyond the Viking era yet.
Leaving aside the fact that you will be so bored that you'll want to shoot yourself 30 minutes in, I don't believe any responsible parent would want their kid to see this film. It's the kind of objectionable trash only a family wedded to the Ku Klux Klan would enjoy. That it can get a 6.8 reading on IMDB is a serious indictment of public taste.
