Horrible!

Damn. there is no zero rating. do not believe the ratings about this being a good film. Unless, of course, your idea of a good film is super cheesy, terrible acting, and just plain corny. I went to this movie because I saw that it had an 8.1 on this site. I am extremely disappointed in IMDb, and will probably not be using it for reviews because of how horrible this film was. It would not decide whether it was trying to be cheesy and funny or if it was trying to be serious. I was in awe of how terrible it was.

The best part of the film was watching the stoned guy sitting next to me.
