that what my friend brian say about this movie after about an hour of it . he wasn not able to keep from doze off . i have be rant about how execrable it be and finally i relent and play it and have run out of adjective for bore . imagine if you will and the pinnacle of hack work . something so uninspired and so impossibly dreadful and that all you want to do after view it be sit alone in the dark and not speak to anybody . some people labor under the illusion that this movie be watchable . it be not and not under any form of narcotic or brain damage . i would only recommend this to someone in order to help them understand how truly unbearable it be . don not believe me . gather round . grant and a a nation and we in america do not always portray middle eastern people in a tasteful manner . but how about a kid in a sheik outfit bowing in salaam fashion to a stack of castrol motor oil bottle . you will find that here . get it . the arab worship oil . i couldn not believe what i be see . have the kid fly plane into a skyscraper would have be more appropriate . who in their right mind would think that be a funny joke . it not even close to cleverly offensive . it just suck and make you want to punch whomever get pay to write that bit in the face . in the middle of the film and a five man sing group call the landmines take the stage at an officer ball . okay be you ready . the joke be they sing terribly and off key . why do i write that in cap also . because the joke be pound and pound and pound into your head with a marathon of horrendous sight gag . they start off mediocre enough while glass crack and punch tumbler shatter . then there be and i be 100 % serious and a two frame stop motion sequence of a woman shoe come off . you read that correctly the music be so bad and in one frame and the woman foot have shoe on . in the very next the shoe be off . get it and because the music be so bad and her shoe come off . what the f. then there be an endless montage of stock footage to drive home the point that the singing be bad . if any human be actually suffer through this scene in the theater without run like hell and i would be astonish . this movie be honestly like a practical joke to see how fast people would bolt out the door . robert downey sr. direct comedy the way his son command respect by stay drug free . badly . other thing to watch out for represent1 . the popular music shoehorn in wherever possible . every time liceman appear and a really inappropriate iggy pop song play . plus all the actor do their best to act like it get really chilly for some reason . 2. barbara bach criminally awful accent . she sound like she try to talk like a baby while roll a marble around on her tongue . there be no nudity and and there be several scene where the boy all moan and writhe from a glimpse of her cleavage and like theyre in a community school act class and they have be direct to act like aroused retarded people . 3. liceman feed his revolt dog a condom . remember while when this movie come out throw in abortion and condom be see a edgy . 4. tom poston play a mincing and boy hungry pedophile and back when hollywood think pedophile and homosexual be one in the same . flat out embarrass . 5. watch the end . nothing be wrong with your vcr . that be actually the end . tell me that doesn not make you want to explode everyone who ever make any movie and ever . watch this at your own risk . up the academy have be know to actually make other movie and like the jerk or blazing saddle and less funny simply by place the videotape near them .
