User Review
A parody, not meant to be taken seriously, you poor "critics"!
Rating: 10/10
Of course it's cheesy, it's supposed to be! It's parody, not an
"action" flick! If you expected a Steven Seagal movie, you should have
gone
to one!
Those of us who appreciate the nature of satire and parody can find
it
everywhere in this movie! Any one who has lived in California has seen
several elements of this chase on their own televisions, LIVE!
The names of the characters are great, (Cary Elwes as Steve
Horsegroovy,
Ron Jeremy as a camera man, Bree Walker, an L.A. anchorwoman, playing an
anchorwoman, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing a redneck moron
named Will) and their roles are exaggerated, as they should be in a
spoof.
If you just don't get it, don't waste your time watching it! And
please
stop crying about it. Lighten up!
