i have rarely see such a feast of bad taste tosh in my life . one or two joke about bowel movement could be funny . two could be amuse . but this film and dedicate to that end of the alimentary canal be about as much fun to watch a it be to receive the endless enemas it delight in bring to our close attention . parker character be shallow and boring . hopkins play a one dimensional puritanical sadist . he abuse his adopted son and like to humiliate his patient and be impotent and do thing to his own backside with device . fantastic . this character could have be generate by computer . what happen to parker creativity . the story simply do not exist . there be no relation at all between the various thread and they have no influence on the main storyline because it be either totally lacking or so weak a to be invisible . however i fear the most important criticism i have of this sorry waste of money be that it be simply not at all funny . during the entire and dragging and boring debacle and there be perhaps two occasion when it be worth a slight smile . do parker really think it be necessary to show a man in a shower with filthy underpants and then give u a close up of the brown black waste water emanate from them . be it funny for a man to have an erection because of electrical charge apply to his foot . ( incidently this joke be play for several minute and several scene in the film . ) parker direct with a total lack of taste and finesse . i would like to take a copy of this lame disaster and and just a mr. parker waste a couple of precious hour of my life show me his sad anal fixation fantasy and procure a jar of vaseline and then introduce him to new way of enjoy film . this film should have stay where it belong on the cutting room floor . parker hang your head in shame and sir .
