The costumes and makeup are pretty awesome, right when those kind of effects were on their way out. It's a bit more viewer friendly than Toxic Avenger, but nearly the same premise. Too many one liners and a bit boring at times. Good drunk movie?
Low budget but very funny movie about an b-actor and friends that are transformed in freaks. All ends well, and at the end there's even better understanding between the sexes :)
Awful. More money should have been invested in writing than makeup and special effects. Brooke Shields describes Coogan's plight in the film as a 'horrible ordeal' which perfectly sums up my experience here.
Starts strong as a stupid movie...but gets progressively worse. Not as fun as it could have been...but not as awful as it probably should have been considering what it is trying to be...
Well there isn't a lot that can be said about this film, other then it's a good laugh and a little OTT.
very funny, i loved alex winter in it and keanu's small role was great.

Aside from that little bit of info, this movie is incredibly silly, very over the top, but fun and full of charm. Lots of subtle jokes, and some pretty sophisticated ones too.
Enjoyable romp
It's been ages now but I recall really enjoying this one a lot about 15 years ago
