IMDB

John Travolta and Robin Williams star as two lifelong friends. They are BFFs and business partners (something to do with sports, I don't think they ever really explained it past that). The backdrop to this movie is them making a huge deal with the Japanese. Robin Williams finds out that he fathered a set of twins during a passionate night of lovemaking to his wife for one day, whom he met on a tropical island. His ex-wife has to go to jail for two weeks for breaking and entering or something. He has to take care of the kids.
I know what you're thinking, this sounds great, but is Bernie Mac in this and does he have a robot puppet suit that they use to force Robin Williams to dance? Yet, it does. It has so many bad parts that trying to locate a good part is like trying to find a needle in a haystack--or should it be trying to find hay in a needlestack?
This movie is going to be the topic of the next "How Did This Get Made?" podcast that Paul Scheer does for Earwolf.com. That is a fair question, though: how did this get made? It makes no sense. It is very bad, but it did make nearly $50 million. So what do I know?
Do not see this, unless you want to sit, mouth agape, staring at your TV or computer monitor, while in tremendous pain.

2/10

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.
