Why Not On The Top 250?


I don't understand. Movies like USUAL SUSPECTS and RETURN OF THE KING are on there, but where's ZAPPED?

bc zapped lacks any form of majority crowd...bc it is seen as pointless and most people dont have a good comprehension for the humor

reply

ummm, bc its probably in the bottom 250.

The bottom 250 would still be too high of a ranking for this movie.

reply

I agree with that...what humor there is in ruining someone else's social event is incomprehensible to me...

As much as I enjoy this film, I think it deserves the rating it's got.

Exactly. I enjoy watching this everytime it comes on cable. But my rating of a 5 is about as good as it's gonna get.

The last time I saw this come to cable was back in 2003 and that was the last time I saw it come onto cable. No one wants to show movies like this anymore. All they want to show is the mainstream movies that just came out and once it had done its time of running on a major network you do not see it for a while on that nework again.

That is why I miss USA UP ALL NIGHT because they would show low grade movies like this all of the time on Friday and Saturday nights. I have been working hard to get USA UP ALL NIGHT back on the weekends and hope that it will pay off eventually so I can watch movies like this again.

Are you serious?

Oh man! I can't believe people give this movie a 2 or a 3. Any movie that makes me laugh until I'm crying and laying in the floor gets a 10 from me. Or maybe it's just really young people who don't like it? Been spoiled with all these CGI effects.

Ok, I wouldn't have nominated it for an Oscar...but not every movie has to be a "Usual Suspects" or "Return of the King" to be a good, entertaining movie. I wouldn't ever take anything away from serious cinema. However, there is a place for movies like this on the top 250.

you r 110% right.

I guess a fair share of IMDb users ain't got no taste. I personally think this film is a real hoot and a half.

Chirpy tastes like chicken.

I saw this movie on Comedy Central, a few years back. I was amazed at some of the stuff I saw. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Zapped! would make my Top 250.

This movies alot of fun. It isn't award worthy, but it's definitly entertaining. It had a likeable cast too. I wonder if the Happy Days cast saw this? .
