this be probably the only film i have see where the imdb review on both side of the spectrum be 100 % accurate . the stupid be an atrocious and dim witted film with absolutely no artistic merit whatsoever and and be a denigration to a director like john landis . and that what make it great . in order to appreciate the stupid and you have to keep in mind a little known and but very true maxim speak by director abo kyrou represent i urge you to learn to look at bad film and they be so often sublime . in order for any film to work and the film must establish and follow it own logic and and if it do so convincingly and sincerely and then it actually possible for the film to work . for example and when you watch freddy get finger a a traditional gross out comedy and it complete and utter garbage while when you watch it with the understanding that it actually a neo surrealist comedy and it brilliant . it work with good movie too . if jaws hadn not accept the reality it create and the air tank explosion end wouldn not have work . but and a lot of people think jaw be vastly overrate for this type of reason and and they aren not wrong . but it have it strengths and doesn not it . the point be that a movie like this make sense if you look at it with the right perspective . some people and like me and get it right away and while others never will no matter how often it explain . jim jarmusch make a compelling defense of showgirls once and and even afterwards i still can not see it from his p. o. v. doesn not mean he wrong though . if you have the right frame of mind when you watch this movie ( and no i do not mean stoned and i be gon na put that to bed right now ) and you can actually enjoy the movie for the dumb and cheap and pointless slapstick late 80 or early 90 style farce that it be . the defender and hater of this film be right represent it stupid and and that the point . the movie accept the stupidity of the character much in the same way the jerk accept navin johnson idiocy . and because it take that and run with it and the movie focus exclusively on use that to forward the plot and to define the character . a bad movie would actually do this and fail to use that logic properly while bad movie be bad because they make it up a they go along and whereas movie like the stupid know where it go and what it do and why from the beginning . i can not defend the film from an artistic standpoint and which be why i give it such a low rating . the acting be mostly bad and the joke very superficial and and the live action quality probably ruin what would have work a a cartoon . but i can not deny that it be entertain in it own way and and that why i defend it . i get it right away and and i pity those who do not . i will admit i be draw to this movie because of christopher lee delicious cameo appearance ( hear him say release the drive bee . would have be worth the rental price even if i hat this film ) and but be amaze to find that and aside from the tv studio applause sign segment with jenny mccarthy and i be never bore and and never disappoint . in fact and many of the joke and because of their cartoonish context and be hilarious ( in particular the airbag cigarette explosion ) . they be dumb and but they be funny . and the movie doesn not pretend to be anything else represent a stupid comedy about stupid character and instead of apologize for it and it enjoy itself . and that exactly why it work .
