A profoundly trivial and tasteless affair.

One of the all-time worst. An offense.

I love truly terrible movies, I watch SNL, have since I was a kid, I certainly like Chiklis a lot, after his career recovery.Good god. The only explanation, trite as it may be, I can come with for this movie is that a bunch of people
