| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekExcruciating...its awfulness is so profound that it actually takes on a perverse fascination. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyThe filmmakers must have been the most sophisticated wits in the BYU cafeteria. I bet they did really funny impressions of the foreign-exchange students behind their backs. |
