Good God this movie was atrocious. Boring, predictable, and just cheesy. It took me a month to get through it. This woman has more duds under her belt than Pauly Shore. I still like her though.

I just started this one last night on the treadmill. It looks pretty bad so far.

Damn near unwatchable Bada.

I just watched it. As was said above, it really sucked. The best thing about it was that it had the girl from the Sopranos episode “D-Girl” during season 2.

I’m really shocked at the $45 million budget that IMDB lists.
