really truly awful

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2002)

This movie is embarrassing. Where to start? Depp's Ken-doll page-boy hairsprayed hair-do? In 1968? The parents who never age as George (Depp character) gains 20 years? Where are we? Gasoline Alley? We won't dwell on the pinkie-in-the-air cocktail chattering fake dope-smoking poses with alligator-clipped roaches held like cigarette holders in a Joan Crawford movie. Is it that Hollywood types don't like to make dope-smoking look real? Guilt by association? This movie makes Mod Squad look like Casablanca.
