A few thoughts: Jeffrey Combs, bless his heart, has the ability to make nearly anything he's in good. That's not the case here, but he does try, and I feel that's worth noting. Even in an objectively silly and bad movie like this, he delivers a solid performance and manages to make the most of this weak material. That being said, yes, this is still a pretty dumb movie. But it's a charmingly bad type of film that's hard to hate, from its consistently terrible effects to the simple and underwhelming good vs. evil story. There is nothing atypical about this movie, apart from maybe the high aspirations it had, which is infectious in an innocent sort of way. Most of the supporting cast are pretty weak, but as I said before, Combs does a solid job in the lead, even with an underwritten character. At roughly 70 minutes, it flies by pretty fast, so in the very least it doesn't overstay its welcome for too long. It's dumb, but it tries hard to entertain, and I can appreciate that.
Who would I recommend it to? Not really many people would or could enjoy this too much, but it might be fun to laugh at with drunk friends.
My grade: D+
