IMDB

Busted is Corey Feldman's directorial debut. Really, what more needs to be said. Either you're going to be interested or you'll avoid it like a blood transfusion with Magic Johnson.
Feldman also brings along the other Corey for this t&a cop comedy. The Coreys and the other cops are trying to catch a peeping tom while also running a prostitution ring inside of the jail. The gags come at an Airplane rate, but usually fall flat. That's not to say that they shouldn't get credit for trying.
I think almost anybody else would see this movie as an opportunity to write a scathingly bad review, but I'm not anybody. I thought this flick was bad, of course, but it had a certain charm. The actors seem to be having a lot of fun and there is a lot of nudity. The visual gags are uber-cheese, and while they may not always work, it's fun seeing them try to make them work. Sure, I could give this movie a bad review, and it might deserve it on a level, but Feldman wasn't trying to make Citizen Kane or even Showgirls. This movie falls more in line with Hardbodies or the type of movie where you take a job or a place of work and add 'bikini' in front of it. They could have called this movie Bikini Police Station.
This is the kind of movie that USA Up All Night was made for.

6.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
