Honey

As I was pleasantly enjoying the previews before a Sunday night, drag the weekend as long as possible trip to the theater, I was thinking to myself about how easy this movie must have been to make. The storyline is a setup, and the theme is so familiar to all of us. It’s easy to imagine prehistoric people and I’m not expecting a ton of creativity. I figured with a few special affects and some fighting scenes, this movie was a slam dunk. I sure was wrong.

I can’t think of much to not complain about. The story was bad. The main character was dull. The costumes looked like they were made of plastic. I could almost see the walls of the studio in the sets. The main tribe had the most horrible quasi-Irish accent I’ve ever heard. The entire thing felt like a B movie. I kept thinking all the characters were going to break out into slap-stick comedy routines. Everything about it was cheesy, and not in a good way.

After the movie, Agent and I were unlocking our bikes and laughing about how bad it was. A group of fellow audience members standing nearby let us know that Agent’s laughter throughout the film was the most entertaining part of a bad experience. The ending was so funny that Agent had broken out in her uncontrollable, contagious laughter. The same one you can see here.

So if you’re going to see this one, definitely save your money for the DVD release. Seriously.
