Bully's sketches don't work well as a movie
26 July 2004
Two days ago I've seen this film, and I was disappointed. His first Film was not bad, so I expected this one also to be good, which wasn't the case- Well the Special Effects were not bad (but necessary for this kind of comedy? I doubt it- a 60's SF Setup would have been better). One of the problems of this film was the time-travel plot, where the settings changed too often (it made me feel that Bully tried desperately to tie some of his sketches together instead of making a movie with a good plot). The sketches itself were OK, but, well a movie is more than a sum of sketches, it needs a plot with a climax, it needs tension building up till the end (I'm thinking about - I't a mad mad world or Peter Sellers Film's or the better National Lampoon films), gags building up over more then the lenght of one sketch etc. etc.

Some of the Sketches (especially the one with the thermometer were VERY deplaced and not funny any more), the 100st Darth Vader persilflage (well, I've seen a dozen better ones.) The medevial setup was very OK, but because of the plot it was too short, the same case was with the western setup.

So: Summary: No money lost (had it on my blockbuster card), i would give the film 4 out of 10.
