When my friends told me they rented it, they told me the cast and premise and I was NOT excited. But I didn’t want to stay home by myself so I went over and watched it.
I have a copy now. There are just a few scenes so ridiculous and hilarious it’s worth watching.
How can you not like a crappy little film with cameos by Dan Akroyd, George Wendt, Jim Belushi, John Candy and Smoky the Bear? Or “Billy-Bob’s Tex-Mex Barbeque and Swedish Smorgasbord” - with an Indian (India) owner. “Ello, I am Beelly-bob!”
I will pick Cable Guy- I know a lot of people who think it’s too stupid, but I watch it every chance I get. Also Reno 911!: Miami- had me rolling, I tell you. I don’t know if it’s considered stupid, but I would imagine that you’d think so, if you hadn’t seen it/don’t share my sense of humor, which is that of a 14-year-old boy.
You know the ones. Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Not Another Teen Movie. I heard so many bad things about Epic Movie (and Meet the Spartans) and how incredibly dumb and stupid it was, but I couldn’t help but laugh myself silly at many parts in it.
I don’t think it counts as even close to stupid. William Goldman thinks it was the best movie of its year. He says, “People thought it was vulgar or stupid, but it was a brilliantly crafted script.”
