DVD Review: The Worst Movie I Ever Wasted Time Watching
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this DVD at Walmart for $5.88 thinking "Wow, an Adam Sandler Movie I haven't seen." Last night I watched this 90 minute piece of garbage and came away with the following conclusions:

1) Adam Sandler must have had very little talent before he came to Saturday Night Live if this movie is any indication of Sandler's real talent;

2) Adam Sandler really should pull all copies from distribution of this movie since this movie degrades any and all other works by Adam Sandler;

3) The producers of this movie must have been truly desparate for money to have released this piece of trash.

Now about the movie. It claims to be a movie about a cruise ship waiter (Adam Sandler) wanting to be a stand-up comedian. He is jealous of the mediocre comedian whose audience is a bunch of so-so beauty peagent contestants.

Needless to say that Adam Sandler displays zero talent in this movie. There are none of his Chanukah songs. There are none of singing Italian skits. He doesn't make a single funny joke and when he hits on the not-so-hot chicks in the movie his lines are blah. There are a few fantasy scenes where the women are decent looking (but get yourself a copy Maxim and you will be far better off).

There is only one redeeming scene in this whole worthless movie. The house comedian locks himself in a bathroom (to barf) and pleads with God to open the locked door after having spent what appears many hours locked up in that tiny closet-size room. Upon the door magically openning, the comedian proclaims, "F&*^, I don't believe in God, I'm an athiest."

There was an uneventful cameo appearance of Milton Berle and there are some quality actors and actresses in this movie with all their performances wasted.

I was hoping that this movie would show the actual goings on of a cruise ship, but that also wasn't the case. None of the scenes give a hint of a operational ship on a cruise in the Caribbean. The ship actually looks like it was decommisioned in the 1960's with rust on the hull and it didn't even have a functional dining hall. To Adam's credit, he admits that the producer had this empty cruise ship available to make this movie - big deal!

In conclusion, this is the worst waste of time I ever spent watching a movie.
