Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
By turns pointless and pointlessly mean-spirited.

rotten:
Nothing's quite so painful as failed comedy, and this atrocity is equivalent to a compound fracture.

This is the spectacularly inept directing debut of writer-producer Gary Priesler, who is said to have 12 other movies in development. God help us.

So stupefyingly hideous that after watching it, you'll need to bathe in 10 gallons of disinfectant, get a full-body scrub and shampoo with vinegar to remove the scummy residue that remains.

Don't waste your money. Please. Spare our culture some last semblance of dignity by ignoring National Lampoon's Gold Diggers altogether.
