Ok, Pauly Shore fakes his own death in order to be appreciated and revered by the American public. Sounds great, sounds funny, sounds like a self deprecating dark comedy right? Well the story was great, the cameos were very funny, but for some odd reason Pauly Shore decided to direct his own mockfest.

I take Pauly Shore with the same grain of salt that most viewers of Son-in-Law and Bio-Dome do. So I truly thought that this might be a fun satire on the 'rise and fall' of Pauly Shore. What we get instead is a high school film project shot for about 50 bucks it looks like and featuring about 200 guest appearances. Some are funny and some are just plain bizarre.

Another major problem with the flick is the tone. Is it supposed to be a dark comedy? Is it supposed to be utterly depressing? Is it supposed to instill hatred for Pauly Shore? These questions should have been somewhat addressed before this futile attempt at movie making. I was staring at the counter on my DVD at 21 mins begging for this to be a 'live action short', but to no avail.

I don't know what else to say. I was really looking forward to this one and it landed on my front step like a steaming pile of shit. Don't bother -- don't rent, don't see it at a friend's house, don't loose 75 minutes of your life as I have.


I give this 1 dead weasel out of 5.
