Easily the worst movie I've ever seen
10 September 2006
I caught this movie on TV one night after returning from a night of drinking and I can honestly say I've never seen a movie as bad as this one. I laughed for about 2 straight hours, and for all of the wrong reasons. This movie is a 12-year-old's dream come true. Terrible acting by mullet-ed American heroes who know karate and attractive females who do absolutely nothing but stand around and look pretty. If you're going to watch mindless action films, at least have the decency to rent Commando or Bloodsport. This movie makes me long for the days of Mystery Science Theater 3000. This movie is just plain bad.

One of the highlights of the film was the appearance of Buff Bagwell. It had been an awful long time since I'd even heard of him. His performance, as well as those of the two bumbling henchmen, will assuredly go down in the history of cinema as being the worst ever recorded. How these films got financed is beyond me, even though it quite honestly looks like it could have been made in someone's backyard on the weekends.

To sum it up, if you're looking for an awful movie that is on the very fringes of being a guilty pleasure, bordering on masochism, then this is the film for you.

Interesting and engaging short film
16 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
'A Day with the Boys' is a very unique and experimental short film. My first experience with the film came with the special features of David Gordon Green's 'George Washington.' This film was described as being an influence on 'George Washington,' but it is perhaps best to view the film without thinking about Green's work. A similarity between the two is apparent, but the films are almost nothing alike.

I was surprised at how affected I was by the film given its short running time and lack of dialogue. It featured a fresh and original stylistic approach that some may unfortunately misinterpret as an attempt to be overly artsy. Viewing the film with an open mind is a requirement in order to fully appreciate its message.

possible spoiler: This film is perhaps one of the more disturbing films I've ever seen. Not bloody or gory like most horror films, but disturbing nonetheless. I was really shocked by how much I continued to think about this film in the days following my first viewing.

On a lighter note: Why are all of the kids unsupervised and alone at 6 in the morning? They should be inside watching cartoons if they are awake at all.
