I never been so glad that I waited until rental for a movie in my life!
Uhhh, how is it possible that the same people that made the modern day Citizen Kane that was Super Troopers also made this steaming pile of crap?
As I’m sitting here typing this, I can think of only one funny part in that entire suckfest of a movie, and that was that Coconut Pete had a song called “Pina Colada-berg.” There may have been one or two others but I’m drawing a blank.
Jay Chandrasekhar, whom I thought delievered on of the best performances in Super Troopers, was absolutely dreadfully embarassing as Putman, the guy who I think was supposed to be Jamaican. He delivered his lines with all the skill I would have expected of Sophia Coppalla in her elementary school plays.
The humor just wasn’t there, the plot was boring, and the killings were neither funny nor scary.
And then to top it all off they stole the “bad guy won’t die” bit from Cannibal: The Musical! (trust me this is not a spoiler. You see it coming from a mile away and it’s not even funny anyway.)
Actually all the Jimmy Buffet jokes were pretty funny, but I’m a big Buffet fan.
“Oh great! To find the killer we have to analyze the lyrics to the world’s dumbest song!”
I do agree that the killings could have been staged better. Probably should have gone for funny deaths.
But the movie had plenty of boobies! You gotta like boobies!
But the scene of “I am that man!” as they told the story at the campfire was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in movies in a long time.
I’m a Jimmy Buffet fan too, and I did laugh at son of a son of a bitch.
All in all, I wanted to like this movie so much I’ll probably watch it again. Maybe I’ll get drunk and watch it with my friend who MST3K’s every movie, whether it’s good or not, and whether you want him to or not :).
I, too, was crushed by the letdown following Super Troopers. It was like they couldn’t decide if this was a horror spoof or a juvenile sex comedy. Most likely, the script was a thinly-veiled excuse to get Broken Lizard around as many hot chicks as possible.
I was so dissappointed when I watched this movie. I can’t help but feel betrayed by Broken Lizard. Maybe if they had brought Brian Cox back, the movie would’ve been better. He has the ability to liven up a movie, which is why I was so happy when I found out Brian Cox played Agamemnon.
