Title: Nothing wrong with these pipes
Product review: While Cabin Boy was reviled upon its theatrical release as the worst movie ever made, to the point that it became a byword for bad movies for a year or so thereafter and a lasting point of embarrassment to producer David Letterman, the number of positive reviews here demonstrate that Chris Elliott gets the last laugh. This film is just inspired lunacy from beginning to end, and it never lets up, continuing to ratchet up the ridiculousness quotient. And far from being dumb, this movie really creatively mines the comic potential in what is a pretty arcane, literary topic: seafaring and the legends and camaraderie of sailors. In so doing, it creates one classic set-piece after another, from the giant, fat-assed flying cupcake to "these pipes are clean!" The only comedy film I've seen in the past decade that's this hilariously insane came from Korea: it's called Dasepo Naughty Girls and hasn't even been released on DVD in the US. Look for it.
