    I have beef with this movie because it killed our TV. We had a TV/VCR combo and the tape wouldnt eject. And once I pried it out of the VCR, the TV kept thinking there was a tape, so it would "rewind" and then turn off everytime we turned it on. I couldn't really tell you anything...( read more) about the movie actually.

    I rented this thinking it was real. It's not. If you are offered to watch this movie, take these precautions to make sure you don't have to: 1) dump gasoline on your body (head to toe). 2) Light a match. 3) Set yourself on fire. 4) Jump off a building with spikes at the bott...( read more)om 5) Die. It's the only safe thing to do.

    Kudos Pauly Shore, you tricked me again. I thought this actually had potential to be a funny movie. I think this would have worked much better as a real documentary. Acting obviously isn't working for Shore. Don't bother with this one.

    Funny from time to time.
    I liked the mix-up between Tom Sizemore and Michael Madsen.
    I had trubble telling them apart before :)
    But Pauly has to realize that he is just a prop like something from Carrot Tops shows.

    Haters. I thought this was clever and I like the tongue in cheek humor, besides, look at the sheer amount of A-list talent he got to put spots in this movie. You may hate the weasel, but don't hate this movie.
