2001: A Space Travesty Reviews

Obviously, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but it managed to be even worse than I expected. To be honest, I have never been a huge fan of parodies in general but this one was just awful and probably the worst one I have ever seen. Of course, you had Leslie Nielsen once again involved as he was apparently incapable of doing anything else and he provided his usual oblivious and obnoxious character. I suppose it was to be expected that they would try to make a SF parody with this guy at some point which wasn't a really bad idea but they couldn't possibly deliver something even more underwhelming. Personally, I never really understood his appeal but, by now, it was just getting really tiresome. Ophélie Winter, a famous French bimbo at the time, ended up here and probaby hoped that this movie would launch an international career but since it was a massive flop, nobody really noticed her. What could I add? The jokes were just terrible and there were even a bunch of pathetic look-a-like celebrities towards the end with no real purpose whatsoever. To conclude, it has been a while since I have seen such a bad movie and it is definitely not worth a look.

I don't know what was wrong with me when I watched this movie once in a while on Comedy Central. Years later, I can't recall much of it. I clearly remember finding some parts funny, but then again, I was a naive teenager. There's only one term to sum up the whole movie: "So Bad, It's Good".

My rating: 4/10
