AWFUL!!!

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW gets totally blasted by imdb people (here and again) but this movie, which is downright awful, gets all praises, zero negative comments.

i guess it's one of those movies that people dont care enough about it to comment on it if they hated it.

peter bogdonavitch went from making one of the best movies, LAST PICTURE SHOW, and his ego got the best of him and he then made this horrendous movie.

it was a hit, i realize... which means nothing.

HORRIBLE MOVIE!

I hated it too 💩

It was mostly painfully unfunny, I honestly rolled my eyes throughout most of the entire duration of this movie.
I only liked the fire in the hotel room and the chinese dragon scenes, and that's about it!

They just tried too hard and failed miserably. Oh and Ryan O'Neal has to be one of the worst actors eveeeer!

and wow ! Those who say we don't have a sense of humor/ have horrible tastes if we don't like this movie...it's quite insulting! I prefer serious, dramatic movies but once in a while I do love a good screwball comedy (The Lady Eve and Ninotchka are in my all-time favorite list) and some really zany comedies such as O Brother Where Art Thou? or Woody Allen's Sleeper...Those are hilarious!!

I loved Sleeper as well.

You mention how much you like Sleeper but not WUD and they are both farcical, zany comedies. But, to each their own as to what tickles the funny bone.

'AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs' lists WUD at 61 and Sleeper at 80 so they are both considered great comedies.

You can always spot a troll when they don't come back for ten years.
