Mel Brooks has made some really good movies, e.g. "Young Frankenstein," "Blazing Saddles,"
but this one is a stinker.
I tried giving this my customary sniff test, but after 10 minutes it was obvious. Someone did not invest time, creativity, or heart into this.
From the outset, the quality of acting wreaks of cheap slap-stick. This feels like a high school crew trying to make an SNL-like film.
STORY: Weird, no context, just here it is. What?
ACTING: Poor acting, poor script writing (Mel), and cheap gags.
TEMPO: OK, but as the film is, scattered.
CINEMATOGRAPHY: Nothing useful.
DIRECTING: This feels poorly conceived and cheaply made. Bad job.
Summary: I strongly discourage you from watching this. Do something else.
