    Not as bad as it's reputation; It's just NOT funny.

    Hoffman and Beatty are wasted in this very pointless exercise.

    Recognized as one of the worst movies of all time. And it is!! But hilarious (in a head-scratching way) because of how bad it is.

    It's nowhere NEAR as bad as they say -- how could it be?

    Another of my top three favorites, and a painfully misunderstood piece of comic genius.
