August 24, 20092.5 stars simply because it's Bruce Campbell trying hard to make fun of his failed career, although he kind of fails at that too. The first 5 minutes had me real excited, but then it quickly turned into humor fit for people that liked Alien Apocalypse.

March 26, 2009Did i needed to be reminded by Bruce Campbell how many bad movies he got to be in? The answer is "NO".Perhaps some Bruce Campbell fans think he's the greatest actor & nothing can't go wrong.Just found this movie silly & not funny.Nothing against Bruce,he was great on Evil Dead,but is been a long time...
