It's different, but is it any good? As another former President might say, "Depends on how you define 'good'."

Much like David Arquette's acting career, the film is often unbearable and rarely shows competence, but still remains an antagonistic curiosity that can't be easily denied.

Ineptly written by Arquette and Joe Harris, The Tripper is a carnival of cretins doing and saying one ass-headed thing after another.

It's sort of fun -- at least if you're someone who has a taste for gory slasher flicks.

Top Critic Exhibit A for Courteney Cox if she does end up divorcing David Arquette...
