Camp with a budget

This literally reminds me of skits put together at summer camp. The stories are so ridiculous, it's as if they were written by people who didn't realize they'd ever actually make it to a big screen.

But alas here they are, with some decent production values to boot. This is a technically well-made movie. Good directing and cinematography -- nothing B-movie or low-budget about it. Well, about its looks, anyway.

Where this movie really "shines" though, is in the acting. Not only did this movie somehow attract a fair amount of A-list talent, but these actors really gave of it, considering the material they were handed. Extra points go to Winona Ryder, who was an especially good sport, shoving her tongue into the mouth of a wooden puppet and all.

Basically my 7 score is based on the fact that I had at least a smile on throughout most of this movie. Seeing all these big names, all perfectly willing to "lower" themselves to the level of this material, just really renewed my faith in humanity.
