Once again Lorne Michaels turns a vaguely entertaining Saturday Night Live skit into a thoroughly annoying 90-minute debacle. Can nothing be done to stop him? And if anything can be done, can’t we please get this guy stifled before he turns the cheerleader skit into a movie? The saddest part about this sophomoric slop is that I’m willing to bet that actor Tim Meadows actually has some talent. Nonetheless, he gets stuck playing foolish morons such as Leon Phelps, an unlikely love god and title character in this effortful effort. Every once in awhile there’s a joke that’s just so horrible that you have to laugh with embarrassment, but otherwise there’s no amusement value to be found here. Wish I’d skipped it
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
