You Must be Kidding



The fact of the matter here is that this movie really fucking sucks. The only redeeming quality is the scene in which a ton of killer ants eat some Russians. I think the hardest part about it was swallowing Shia LeBoof's portrayal of a greaser. I mean the whole comb, switch-blade, motorcycle thing was just retarded. That was tough, but even tougher was trying not to squirm at the sight of Karen Allen's lizardish face. It was hard to decide if she was the victim of illegal Guatemalan plastic Surgery, fresh off the bamboo table, or just plain fugly.

Either way, I wanted to hang myself with my Guatemala belt after figuring out that yes this movie will actually end with aliens and a flying saucer of some kind.

Still though, Harrison Ford is alright with me. So is John Hurt. The Indie hat not ending up in the hands of young Shia-Mutt-Jones-LeBortion was assuring, but the very thought of him being the next whip wielding X-treme archaeologist is frightening. I don't want my kids looking up to this guy.

This movie might make a sweet ride at Six Flags or Carrowinds.

2 thumbs way down.
