Or DVD covers, if it's too long to be on a trailer.

One and a half of a thumb up!

In what critics are calling the most cliched movie of the year!

Scariest movie since Herbie: Fully Loaded!

Comfortable seating!

In color and with sound!

All filmmakers should watch this movie and learn ...(what not to do).

Two hours long!

I won't say it's a complete bomb, but it did follow a nice ballistic trajectory, and left a giant smoking hole when it finally came down to Earth.


This movie not only eats its young, but chews the cud as well.


Had us rolling in the aisles, at least until the paramedics arrived...bless them!

Three fires were started just from the friction of the patrons fidgeting in their seats. Corduroy has now been banned from future showings of this film.

At the premier, the director and cast left early, followed soon after by the patrons and invited guests. Bearing torches.

The director has been quoted as saying he wishes human beings came equipped with more than just 5 senses. No doubt he wishes there were more so he could assault THOSE too.

A sure-bet for the direct-to-Beta market.

Soon to be appearing in a bargain bin near you.

Remember this film! It is sure to turn up as one of the tough questions in future trivia games.

Now with less commercials!

A valiant effort to utilize a two-million budget!

Kept me at the edge of me seat, ready to take off running.

Features the less than talented voices of William Shatner and Gerard Butler!

If you were to flip a coin this year, let it land elsewhere!

Warning: Known to cause tumors of the brain

If you loved the bible, you're gonna hate this!

The script, written by third greaters, is the greatest thing to come out of Holywood that wasn't pirated from a foreign country.

All Canadian Cast! All Canadian Budget...

Utalizing all the baldwin brothers, even the ones that don't act!

Love? Lust? Or just plain getting funky! with the complete soundtrack and acting of 70's porn - it's "A Doll's House."

To be honest you could do this all day and never get bored haha

This is what comes of not supporting the political aspirations of some in Hollywood. I hereby vote that we send the director and the entire cast to Washington for at least 6 years.

This movie gave me the opportunity to study the back of my eyelids, it was Z-tastic!

Now with less laws of physics!

The quality of production that Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom originally aimed for!

t3h 1337-5P34K (4P710NZ ROXORZZ!!!11!

I can't wait for this to come out on DVD, it will make a great frisbee!

Surgeon general warns: May cause permanent brain damage.

Almost as good as "Sing and Dance With Barney"!

The greatest "Worst Movie of All Time" there ever was!

Hmm. I can't do it, but it was the trailer for the Emporer's club or something like that. It went something like this:

[poingnant and weighty sentence fragment]
[poingnant and weightly split infinitive]
Oh well, I can't explain it. It seemed funny at the time and lead to an impassioned argument about an actor that turned out not to be Robin Williams.

All the moral lessons of John Walsh, rolled into a concise two-hour film.

The number one movie for people who love torturing their significant others.

Popular enough to merit two pirated DVD releases, one on a street corner in New York and one on Kazaa.

Over seven copies sold!
