Well, Razzie Winners Week drags on with Day 6. Today's entry makes yesterday's look like freaking Shawshank.Leonard is a retired spy who is called out of retirement to stop a madwoman from turning all the world's animals into killing machines so the world will go vegan.
Now we delve into the world of the spy spoof. At least the star Bill Cosby has admitted that it's crap. I'm pretty sure this movie defines idiotic. I'm thinking of submitting it to Webster's dictionary as the official definition of the word.
It was just dumb and unfunny. Again, for the 3rd time this week, I know it wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but that doesn't give it a free pass either. I feel like a broken record.
Nothing left to say really. Everything from beginning to end was unbearable. So if you've ever had an urge to watch Bill Cosby dance around in pink ballet slippers or escape a burning building on the back of an ostrich, then this is the movie for you, and God help you. Oh, and the title doesn't make a damn bit of sense, despite their attempt to "explain" it.

3 pieces of fan mail:
This is the first of your Razzie winners that I've never heard of.
Oh, and by the way, you win Trooper of the Year Award for sitting through all this crap.
It was the only one I hadn't heard of either. I think ole' Bill wants it that way.
And thanks. I'll be accepting my award via satellite once the ceremonial preparations have been made.
"I know it wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but that doesn't give it a free pass either."
YES! I think that's why it's hard to find a comedy in the realm of so-bad-it's-good. Bad comedy is just a waste of time.
