Thoughts
I’ve seen this once or twice before when I was younger, and I vaguely remembered it being one of those movies that is full of cringeworthy moments. They’re not really our thing anymore. But we got it in a bundle of movies and thought it was worth a shot.
It wasn’t. Just not funny. Twenty minute rule very much in effect.
