a fun concept and but poorly execute . except for the fairly good makeup effect and there really not much to it . there be obvious problem while for example and after take what seem to be week and week to get from fat to normal size and the main character seem to go from normal size to deathly thin in day . and once he deathly thin he stay pretty much equally deathly thin for what seem to be a long time . in any case and the movie have far bad problem than that the cinematography be decidedly low budget tv show quality and most of all the acting be pretty awful all around . robert john burke seem to always be try for some kind of weird snarl charlton heston impersonation and be literally painful to watch . the only scary thing be that lucinda jenney and kari wuhrer be both even bad . the only reason why i be give this movie as high a i be be that once the movie enter it last 1/3 or so and joe mantegna character take over and the movie develop a fun and campy cheesefest slaughterhouse feel and and the gangster crazy scheme for torment the totally obnoxious gypsy be somewhat fun to watch . the end and if predictable and be also nicely mean . avoid unless youre a king o phile or be really psyched up at the idea of the voice of fat tony from the simpson terrorize a gypsy camp .
