Movie Info

Arguably the least successful of the many feature film spin-offs of Saturday Night Live television sketch characters, this comedy barely won a quick theatrical release. Julia Sweeney stars as the titular Pat Riley, an obnoxious, drooling nerd of mind-boggling androgyny. Pat is also a bit of a klutz, which leads to his/her dismissal from a range of workplaces, including a sushi bar and the United States Postal Service. As a next door neighbor, Kyle (Charles Rocket), becomes obsessed with

Ever hear the one about the pic that was too bad to be released, so it escaped? Well, that old joke now has a new punch line: It's Pat, a shockingly unfunny Saturday Night Live spinoff.

It's Pat offers a simple message of self-acceptance, asserting that what counts is who you are rather than what your gender may or may not be. The trouble is that its telling is truly terrible.

The story goes nowhere, and if the film ran longer than its 80 minutes, it would have become too tedious to tolerate.

Which is more confusing...Pat's questionable gender or this dud's attempt to force a chuckle from our incredulous faces?

One-joke Saturday Night Live-based comedy. Yecch!

I can't even dignify this film with a review.

This movie is just as outrageous and creepy as the SNL skits that spawned it, well maybe even more creepy. I didn't find Pat very funny on the show, and if you didn't either, I would not recommend this movie.

This movie is totally hilarious! I love that they made an entire movie which begs us to determine whether "Pat" is a boy or a girl. SHe's so creepy, and Julia Sweeney played her/him wonderfully. The ending is classic, when Pat is revealed nude to the entire audience at a rock concert, but we don't get to find out.
