It's Pat: The Movie (1994)

I'd rather get punched in the face than watch this movie again...

[1/10 · 11 January 2015]

"It's Pat" is an unbelievably unfunny and agonizingly bad comedy. It's a movie that only has one joke and it repeats it over and over until you feel like you're stuck in an eternally worsening time warp. The joke is that nobody knows if the titular character is a man or a woman, which isn't that funny because it gets old fast. It then gets repeated over and over and after a while, you realize there is never going to be a payoff because that would mean the movie would end and every single bit of shenanigans that happened before the revelation would become absolutely pointless. The main character is totally unlikeable, the plot is dull, repetitive and very easy to predict. Even if you are not the kind of person that can easily see twists coming in thrillers, this unimaginative story plays out exactly the way you expect it to. You will be at a loss for words after the credits finish rolling, unless you start remembering some of the more colorful curses you had buried deep inside your subconscious. The worst thing is that the film is so bad and unmemorable that you will forget immediately what made you so mad. (On VHS, May 22, 2011)
