Summary: i now hate the RAZZIES
Review: i am a HUGE fan of Monty Python and when my friend Bob (a GIANT movie fan) and i saw a movie starring Eric Idle, we flipped and instantly rented it. We loved it. It was hilarious and i especially enjoyed the biography-like format. i really liked the guest performances of Coolio and Chuck D. When i saw that i "won" the razzie award for worst movie, i vowed never to listen to the advice of the razzies again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very amusing, if a little rushed. Amazing cast.
Review: I found this film to be very, very funny, if only to see usually earnest actors such as Sly Stallone making fun of their perceived Hollywood egos. Eric Idle's presence seemed slightly incongruous (although that was probably the effect sought). His comic performance was bettered in style, surprisingly enough, by Chuck D and Coolio's double act, which reminded me of the upstaging performance of Morris Day and his sidekick in Purple Rain.

If only for the (frankly astonishing) cast, this film is worth seeing. The Spinal Tap of film, only less of a story and more a series of clever and (mostly) subtle gags.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever made!!!!!
Review: I loved this film. It makes a lot of fun of the movie industry. It is not about the story but more about subtle and funny gags to keep you watching. The cast is among the best I have seen in a long time. Rent it today.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Even One Star Is Too Much
Review: Perhaps the worst $4 I ever spent was renting this film at Blockbuster. After watching half of it, I had to turn it off and return it immediately so the stench wouldn't permeate my apartment. And all I could think was "that's an hour of my life I'll never get back."

I've seen bad movies before. Some you can't help but enjoy, because despite their inherent badness, there's an earnestness to them or perhaps even a sense of fun. This has none of it. Scripted by Joe Eszterhas (who could be called the worst screenwriter in Hollywood were it not for the dedicated efforts of Akiva Goldsman to grab the title), it's supposed to be a funny, insider's take on the underside of Hollywood, ala "The Player", but it fails miserably despite the talents of some very funny people like Richard Jeni and Eric Idle.

The film received a record 9 Razzie nominations (the Razzies are the annual alternative to the Oscars, "dishonoring" the worst in film) including 4 nominations for Eszterhas.

In the long run this film is worth adding to your collection only if you are a true connoiseur of bad cinema and feel a need to have the worst movie of the century on your shelves. Otherwise beware of this film. Playing it for your friends may well get you in trouble with Amnesty International as making anyone sit through this can only be regarded as an act of torture.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I Thought it Was ok Not Great BY: ANTHONY BENEDETTO
Review: SEEING AND LIKING JOE ESZTERHAS I THOUGHT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN CAUSE HE'S SO SLEAZY MOVIE WISE BUT I HAD FUN WITH BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN DUE MOSTLY TO ERIC IDLE'S LIVELY PERFORMANCE... BUT ITS FUN SOMETIMES JUST PLAIN STUPID. BUT NO WAY THE WORST FILM OF THE YEAR... MAYBE AVENGERS IS
