Just Throw Your Money Out Your Window -- It's Quicker

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2006)

This is a very, very bad movie. I love Jack Black, but I hated this flick. We really didn't "select" this movie; it just happened to fit our time-frame and we needed to kill two hours so this was the only movie starting when we needed. You know, we would have been better off just sitting in our car in front of the water park waiting for our daughter. And we would have saved some money. Even my husband thought it was bad, and he'll watch anything! The characters seemed so underdeveloped and one-dimensional, and a lot of what went on just didn't make sense or flow (was there a lot of footage edited out that would have explained a lot of the stuff going on?). Very jerky movie. One scene that comes to mind is the one where he scales a mountain, eats a bird egg, and then jumps (or falls) into the water. What??? Where's the rest of it? I kept waiting for the mother eagle to come and poke his eye out or pull down his stretchy-pants. Not that that would have improved the scene but I was left "unfulfilled". This experience has reminded me of why I always do extensive research before I see a movie: I hate wasting my time and I hate wasting my money.
