I saw this saturday with two other friends, one of those geek's night out kinda things. I have to say that this movie rocks!! I will say right now that its the second worst movie I've ever seen ('Down to You' holds the number one spot for me), but its sooo entertaining. 'D & D' is like, one of those movies you watch on a sunday afternoon on the sci-fi channel, anything to keep you from doing homework. I haven't laughed so much at a film in a loong time:) There were approximately 12 other people in the theater, most came just to see how bad it was, others were elderly couples who probably came in to die. Points of hilarity:
-- Justin Whalen runs around in these ridiculous erection revealing pants
-- Marlon Wayons' costume. It's set in medeival times, correct? He wears this grey hooded sweatshirt that someone probably obtained at Mervyns.
-- The "Darth Maul" character. Basically he's the right-hand man. He has blue lips and everything he says is really funny.
-- The dwarf on the team, he has chicken stuck in his beard for several scenes after the heroes eat at this mos eisley cantinaesque place. He also has funny lips.
-- Jeremy Irons must've gotten in a car accident or started his car without opening the garage first, because he's lost his mind. Whether its intentional or not, his performance is classic.
-- The gratuitous "Justin Whalen ass shots" which the director chose to include. No nudity, just so many shots seem to have his ass as the center focal point.
I have a theory on how this one was made. They had like a $60,000,000 budget or something I heard. I think $59,999,990 of it was spent lamenating the script to protect the pages when people read it and then pooped on it, leaving them $10 for the film, $5 of which was spent ordering Taco Bell. The reamainging $5 was spent making the film, over the course of...lets say a three-day weekend. The ending is beautiful in that it makes no sense, and several of the sceptre props are made of high quality....plastic. There is one really cool part where the guy who played the lead stranger in 'Dark City' shows up for a cameo. He's actually really awesome. To anyone that saw this and loved it for legitimate reasons, I mean no disrespect, but I honestly did enjoy this immensely! I'm convinced that the director of this is either a great fool or one of the most brilliant men alive. Perhaps the most unintentially funny thing I've ever seen.:)
