A one-note and one-joke disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (27 November 1999)

Terrific performances by the entire cast cannot hide the fact that this highly stylized movie has remarkably little to say. Once it makes its one joke about Ed Wood's incredible abilities to make bad movies and dress in women's clothes, it keeps re-hammering the same points with a sledgehammer as if heavy-handed repetition would make them funnier. It doesn't work for me.
