I feel almost guilty adding to the pile with how low it already is. Estella Warren can usually be counted on to do a watchable job. I mean she usually isn't in very good movies, but she always does a competent enough job in what movies she is in, no matter how bad they are. But this movie suffers from a script that needed to be rewritten and never was, and a director that doesn't know how get what he wants from actors and, in the case of Warren, probably actively stunts their ability to even preform with mediocrity. But it doesn't stop there, the sets and the costumes and the effects are... well... the walls on Monty Python's sets moved and they still looked better than this. Really I'm kind of shocked it has more than one star, it seems to be universally panned, but not without reason. It doesn't even meet the so bad it's good category of film.
