That Was Painful!

Rating: 2/10 (11 July 2019)

(Flash Review)
Imagine if someone lightly rubbed the top of your head against the bark of a tree trunk for 90 minutes. That was the feeling I got while watching this; constant irritation. At the 30 minute mark, I had to decide to turn it off or stick it out. I made the wrong decision and stuck it out. This is about two unsuccessful imbeciles who create a nifty driveway basketball game using baseball rules and it catches on and a pro league is hatched. Then a plot point about playing the game for fun vs money and fame. The rest of the slapstick movie is full of unfunny, vulgar, not clever, potty humor. Every character is irritating. The slapstick's of the 80s-90s (Airplane, UHF, Naked Gun, Top Secret) had more charm and 'smart' stupid humor; pleasantly silly. This was bottom barrel rubbish.
