Not that great.

I bought this movie, because it had Seth Green in it. So yeah, Seth was cute and all, but the movie wasn't that great. I got bored watching it. Wouldn't recommend it.

way horrible. I dont care what others said about this one. the way its set up. his parents going to soem camp resort and then theres all these stupid characters. though you get to see Seth Green with long hair, he doesnt save this one at all. MAtt Frewer and Martin Mull are absoulutely annoying and they down this one big time. just a mess

Live in this age, we may probably judge a film in a very different way, but to compare this film with Star Wars Series or Titanic or Saving Private Ryan, I can say only one thing: don't compare an art work to those commercial flyers. Those big hits, are just made for earning the viewer's money and tears, but I don't care what the heck they really are,cause Hollywood (Hollybooo) producers can only make worse than DMPRA. They have no standard of ciematogphy, and directing. This movie may not be the best of the American Film History, but it must be top ten. Let's see how many trashes the 100 great movies have. Star War Series? Jaws?? Rocky??? King Kong???? Oh! geez! should I name more? If a film is worthy because of its visual effects, then the film artists should all face the Pacific and finish themselve with sorrow. And I will also feel embarrassed to who may think deep impact, godzilla, or scream are better than DMPRA. This film is about a man who had very huge ideal to fight dark side of the society (teachers, nerds). But that was not the thing he was able to do. He lost himself as he became famous, and powerful, he lost his friends, and his girlfriend. He needed to be loved by someone because his lacks of childhood and love from parents. That was why he looked for pizza. It reminded him so much about why he used to live. So when we saw Victor Tu, he wasn't happy at all. Also his selfish really cause his lonely, because in his outcore, people saw his generosity, but the inner core was just so difficult for people to tolerate. So He said that, if he wasn't that rich, he might as well party. That should be, because money and power degenerate someone. This is absolute an American Classic, Master Nicholson directed so marvelous, and the cinematography and Make up were just so brilliant. I really recommand this to artistic film lover, not to people who lower the standard of cinema.
