A bad 'Pie'

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2001)

Any movie that's main gag is a kid doing sexual things with a pie is guaranteed to be a pretty bad 90 minutes. Not only is it bad, it is also more disturbing than funny (the pie scene that is). This movie shouldn't be as popular as it is. The plot is stupid, the characters are completely uninteresting perverts, the humor is appallingly lame, and the acting is just terrible. While I could see a version of this movie working, the overall desire to be as gross as possible without the benefit of having solid jokes or characters ruins any chance of success. I'm not against crude humor, but here the crude humor is used as an excuse for not having much else. The film simply goes from one crude comic set piece to the next without any sense of rhythm, reason, or relevance to the overall story. In the end, the whole thing just comes across as a disjointed mess. 3/10
