How to turn a so-so series into a witless movie. Earns a half-star for Bruce Campbell.

By the end, this soporific comedy makes 105 minutes feel more like a two-year hitch.

The problem is that when the jokes are as flat as two-day old Coke, your mind has time to think about all the plot incongruities too.

Tom Arnold is no Ernest Borgnine. A profound statement.

A ham-fisted, fitfully amusing lark that quickly runs aground.

I'm not even going to get into the dialogue, the plot, the other performances, because as the sage advice goes, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

All apologies to the handful of Americans who've waited decades for this big-screen update of the '60s sitcom--the result is both awful and awfully irrelevant.

Yet another recycled sitcom turned feature film, and is about as appealing as a failed television pilot.

The process of conceiving, producing, and distributing this comedic Superfund site required active, premeditated thought and effort that, in a just world, would be punishable by hard jail time.

A lot like its star, Tom Arnold -- big and bombastic, with no substance.
