Viewing Notes

After a tease/scare of the BARNEY movie, this played as the midnight secret screening. This movie never takes itself seriously, on purpose, but the humor and stupidity never really worked for me. Almost certainly this was in part due to being really tired and the fact this screened at 12:20 AM after a long day of movies. It would’ve been better to screen this earlier in the day, especially for this kind of goofy movie.
