      Eve A Honestly, this movie is camp. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Amber S It's ridiculous and amazing. I quote this movie all the time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review steve d They got the name right. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review John O It's a classic in my opinion. Fodder for the bus rides on many trips but something I'll readily watch on my own as well. Mr. Sender? The Drive Bee? The Lloyd? Quotable lines and a fun (and of course stupid) romp. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/22 Full Review Audience Member stupid..............worst movie i have seen in my 59 years Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member To this day, the one thing that stands out for me in this movie is "I'm my own Grandpaw" , go on YouTube and check that scene out!

      Anne Billson Daily Telegraph (UK) It's so screamingly unfunny it verges on the surreal.
