Disappointed!!!!!

Rating: 6/10 (29 February 2000)

What a terrible disappointment this movie turned out to be!

Movies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, Flying High, Spaceballs etc. etc. belong to my favorite movies of all time, so I was looking forward to this so much. But this movie never even came close to those classics.

What made the other movies so good was that even though the jokes were stupid, there was a sort of cleverness in them. This movie lacked that cleverness all together. Almost all jokes were predictable and therefore not very funny.
Also a lot of the story lines and jokes seemed to be derived from old jokes of other movies, which made them less funny because they weren't new.
Highlight of the movie for me was the 'Shermanator'. This kid reminded me of Anthony Michael Hall is his young years, and almost singlehandedly saved the movie for me.
So all in all not a terribly bad movie, but certainly not a great one.
