Emperors new clothes

Rating: 4/10 (30 December 2009)

Well produced.....that's about it really. A tedious Frankenstein of a film, using a hash of ideas gleaned from far better examples of the genre. Sam Rockwell isn't sure whether to play it for laughs or not, leaving us with a performance that Simon Pegg would have been annoyed to not to have been considered for.
I was left confused over why most of the events and actions occurred due to the complete illogicality of Rockwells' behaviour and ridiculous premise. Although not as perplexing as the high rating this film has garnered.
Despite all the misguided and gushing raves this film has received, it seems to have achieved the box office returns it deserved.
