8/10
Thank you Mr Kaufman for something original
30 December 2002
This movie was a breath of fresh air after watching too many formulaic Hollywood clones. Campy, clever and novel this gave me a new appreciation for Jon Voight. It was decidedly low budget, like a film school project but the director worked around this in humorous ways. Some cliche villains made this like reading a children's story, but with a wicked grin and a wink. It reminded me of performance art my college roommate used to do that kept us up laughing until all hours of the night. This movie single-handedly convinced me not to cancel my subscription to Showtime, because I never would have watched it if it wasn't coming on at the same time I was channel surfing, but I'm so glad I caught it and would recommend it to anyone who is sick of seeing the same soulless big-budget movie over and over with different titles.
