It just didn't do it for me.

Rating: 5/10 (9 September 2008)

As a comedy, it wasn't funny. As a mild horror movie, it wasn't thrilling.
It was so boring I felt like shooting myself. The ending was nice and Mr. Puff was nifty, but couldn't they have made it less freaking boring? It reminded me of watching someone play a video game, but scripted. There wasn't nearly enough action to keep me interested. The cliché sub-plots used in pretty much every comedy ever made just got really annoying.
I guess I can say it was an original idea for the time it came out, and that it is worth watching just to know the thousands of references, but I can't say it was much fun at all. Maybe you just had to have grown up with this movie to love it, because I certainly didn't.
5/10
