It'll go down in history as pretty awful
The film did have some amusing parts and quotes, which made me laugh, but the majority of the film just wasn't funny. The jokes they insisted on bleeding out were immature and pathetic (urinating on his face...really?)
The plot was also illogical. There were no clear links between the different eras, and I ended up wishing for the film to end.
Furthermore the final annoyance was the heavy rain, despite the lack of clouds.
Conclusion;
Don't waste your money; the few moments where there is some wit do not compensate for the general poorness of the film.
It wasn't the worst film I've seen, but its not far off.
A missed opportunity
Total disaapointment!!!
