This movie is racist, horrible, Bad taste in jokes and finally roger Ebert already said that one line that he said that I would have said and that is "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it".

A very heart-warming twist to the idea concerning what we decide we deserve and how much we misinterpret what we really have. Elijah Wood is a great young actor, holding his own against Bruce Willis, Jason Alexander, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus with comedic fervor. The entirety of the film is absurd, ridiculous, and outrageous, thus its charm. My main love about this film is that I grew up watching it and everything nostalgic is everything I am.

Too adult to be a kids film, too silly and stupid for adults and all around just a bad film. Elijah Wood's low point and not much better for most others involved. The really telling sign this is a bad film? No DVD release in sight.
