The Pest (1997)

[Kirk]

This. Film. Sucked.


I can not begin to count the ways that this film sucked.

Sucks isn't a strong enough word to descripe this crap.

John Leguizamo remakes "The Most Dangerous Game."  (ARE YOU EXCITED YET? )  "Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity" was a better remake than this film.  Leguizamo crams in every potty joke and stereotype he can, coming off as a less-talented Jim Carrey.   Jeffery Jones is wasted as the Nazi Hunter, dragging his gay son through the jungle in pursuit of John Leguizamo.  

The film tried to kill me.

Yes, I once dated a girl who absolutely loved this film.  I found it to be extremely stupid, not the least bit funny, and actually quite painful to watch.  Needless to say, we broke up. :o)

[Dolph Lundgren]

Yeah, there's no pretty way to put it, this film DOES suck.  Don't even try to watch it for the "wow he said it sucks, so it might turn out to be funny in a bad way" factor either.  It just sucks, plain and simple.  Stay faaaar away.

I found Pest's rap to be pretty good. Unfortunately, Leguizamo is a better DRAMA actor (which is ironic, since he's an excellent stand-up comedian).

Now, I may only be 20 years old, but I have seen probably just as much crap in my day as anyone else on this board.  I can sit through the worst the world has to offer.  I pride myself on having coined the term "cinemasochist."  I couldn't even make it through the OPENING CREDITS of The Pest.  Vomitization all around.

Brother R, I applaud you for having the common sense to just stop watching.  I can't say that I did, and I suffered because of it.  An our and a half of suffering.  Like an idiot, I decided to sit through it and find some redeeming value.  The ending credits were the only redeeming value that I found.
