Trivia:
According to the commentary, actor Rip Torn was to play the "Lunatic Editor" but for some reason, not disclosed, was replaced. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Dragonfly learns to fly, he sprouts wings, which would presumably tear through his costume to get out. Yet there are no rips or tears on his back in later scenes. moreQuotes:
Young Rick Riker: [Blaine laying on the ground before death] Dad!Blaine Riker: Oh Rick, I'm dying..
Young Rick Riker: No..
Blaine Riker: Don't worry, my brother Albert will take you in. Rick, the money, it's all yours now. Sell all shares in a small company called Google, pfft, worthless. Invest heavily in Enron.

It doesn't make any sense, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans are all candidates for my worst movie of all time. So why did I enjoy this movie so much? I don't like the cast but they work incredibly hard to make a half decent script into something highly amusing. A welcome return for Zucker style silliness and less pathetic attempts at parodies, there are also hints at intelligent humour and nods to other classic spoofs. There is also a truly hilarious moment involving Tom Cruise played to perfection by Miles Fisher.
Seriously it is truly hilarious in places, I am surprised but by no means ashamed to recommend this for anyone in need of a topical or silly laugh.
