Just what I expected

As Good As It Gets

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Like a prophet, apparently this movie can't be reviewed fairly for what it is in its own time, or perhaps the humor is to deep for some, or maybe I'm just so old I get the humor. Whatever it is, I watched the movie to the very end... Past the corn bread recipe in the credits and beyond lol Keep in mind, The Princess Bride wasn't appreciated by most in its day either but what a great movie that was. I hope someday they make the sequel because this was a very funny movie for me at least. Old in body, young at heart. I went in to this movie totally blind and with no expectations. Maybe that's why I wasn't disappointed. I laughed often and found a lot in this movie to be admired. For one thing, I can watch it with my kids and there is a bit of a shortage on comedies I can watch with my kids, (ranging form 10-25) that will keep them all entertained. All in all, if I feel i definitely got my money's worth and more and apparently to "Get" this movie, it might be necessary to go in without expectations and take the journey for what it is. A fun way to spend free time with people you like.

This movie absolutely blows! Even for what it is supposed to be, a low budget super hero spoof. Ray Griggs did a shameless job of acting in his own movie with uninspired skill. As a director he spent the money on the things that were not in the shot very long and not focusing on costumes falling apart in close-ups. Two million dollars on what? The neighbor kid makes better movies and all he has is a cheap DV camera and some imagination ..which this thing lacks. I hope you are sued, not by all of shameless unauthorized Easter eggs but by everyone who paid money to see this. Don't bother even if your tastes includes cheesy spoof comedy. Nothing to see here, move along.

When I first learnt about his film, I was intrigued. When I saw the trailer, I was more than interested. A funny superhero parody, with movie references and comic style drawings? This was going to be sweet. Unfortunately, it wasn't.Basically, nothing works here - the jokes fall flat, the parody is barely present and the is replaced by unbearable campiness. All the funny moments can be seen in the trailer.The actors did their job, cashed their pay-checks and went home immediately forgetting what movie they had just been in. The best one is b far Adam West and he's in it for about two minutes. That should tell you about the quality of acting.Whatever the authors intentions were, they didn't succeed. For me the worst part were the constant movie references - after about 30 minutes they got incredibly annoying.I can't recommend it to anyone. It's bad. Not in a good way, more in a "how long until the end credits?" way.

Once upon a time at a college party, four highly intoxicated frat boys began writing a movie script. They sat around laughing about farts and how cool it would be to have a superhero whoopee cushion. One of the others managed to log on to the internet and send the whole script they wrote, yes all eight pages, directly to Ray Griggs. Who stole some additional lines from "Return of the Jedi", "Empire Strikes Back", "Star Trek", and "Back to the Future". But Ray needed funding. So he convinced Reuben Lim, Michael Kim Binder, and Fiona Walsh to help fund the movie about a superhero who receives his powers from God and prayer. Ray was also convinced this would assure his movie would be picked up as an option by CBN. This is where Ray really began to shine, he had to find actors just slightly better than the local weatherman, willing to flush any hope for a future in acting, just for a paycheck. Meanwhile back at the frat house the four boys barely remembered that night they almost ruined their lives by having their names attached to this pathetic turd.
