Negative Positive
Title: Ed Wood would think this incoherent...
Review: Poor Dana Carvey, once he was funny, and maybe still is, but you'd never know it from this wreck of a movie. After the mildly interesting Pop-up book style credits, the movie has nothing going for it beyond Jennifer Esposito's comeliness. Otherwise, you get endless mugging, scenes paced for comedy if you find "Teletubbies" intentionally hilarious, and a painfully unfunny flatulence gag every time Brent Spiner's evil genius gives his evil laugh. Every time. It happens a lot. Brent Spiner looks embarassed every time, and I'm not sure it was acting. Supposedly this is for kids, but I can't see it working that way except as a bright, shiny, goo-goo-ga-ga time keeper for infants who have no awareness of the movie's context. In short, the cinematic equivalent of a mobile. Not recommended for anyone old enough to understand what a well-executed fart gag is.
