Perfect cast and a good story
Memorable, crazy movie
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
In the grand tradition of movies associated with Roger Corman, this movie was awful. The actors from the Roger Corman stable were terrible. It's hard to believe they had any training or experience. Maybe Robert Carradine wants to follow in his dad John Carradine's footsteps, and play in a lot of cheesy, terrible movies.The plot was ludicrous. The characters' actions were ridiculous. The dialogue was stupid. The parts that were apparently supposed to be amusing fell flat. Parts that weren't intended to be humorous were laughably awful.Definite MST3K material.
If you are already a fan of Justin Berfield's comedy roles (Unhappily Ever After & Malcolm in Middle) then you will like this film. The plot is somewhat hokey, but Justin's way kewl comic timing keeps the movie rolling along. The scene where he was fixing the mac & cheese while dancing around his uncle's kitchen had me in stitches.
