Not ready for prime time



It's a bad sign when the only clip from this new National Lampoon's movie that made it into the trailer involves Jackass' Steve-O dressed up like the devil and giggling like a gremlin. If you beleive the advertising, the producers can't show you any more because it would be too offensive, hence the 'R' rating.

I didn't buy it. I though this movie must be either so bad, or so unfinished, that the producers had nothing better or funnier to put in the preview. No "rocket sauce" as Jack Black might say. I visited their website to test my hypothesis.

Well, we were both right.

Judging from the clips Xenon Pictures posted online, every third word in this movie is either cock, balls or fuck, which would make it pretty hard to put a coherent trailer together. However, previewing a gag about "The world's Most Pointless Stunts" staring Steve-O, that's supposed to be a send-up of MTV's Jackass isn't going to get many people into the theater. One bright note for the this film: several out of work actors are getting a pay day. It's good to see Judd Neslon (New Jack City), Jayson Mewes (Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) and Chris Pontius (Jackass), "Wee Man" (Jackass) and Lee Majors (The Six Million Dollar Man) all getting some screen time.
