Rock Ridge, Rock Ridge

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2004)

The anti-gravity machine necessary for the suspension of disbelief required to take this drivel seriously doesn't exist. I can only suggest that the film is actually a comedy. Blazing Saddles with bits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail thrown in for good measure. Village: community in peril from outsiders ; Blazing Saddles ditto.I could go on to list many other similarities, but just consider the ending of both films. They,re the same! The studio must have bottled it at the last moment and didn't include the scene where the camera cuts away and shows the Village and the modern day all on a large movie set. With M.Night in the foreground laughing all the way to the bank. It isn't big, it isn't clever and it certainly isn't funny. Avoid like quick-sand.
