What is there to say, that MovieAddict2013 hasn't already said? I can imagine my children would've had a few laughs watching this movie - when they were of pre-school age. Plenty of attempts at slapstick with very few successes. The movie seems to have been made so as to be easily overdubbed with other-language audio tracks, hence meaningless dialogue (I'm sure one could attain the same level of understanding by watching with the volume turned down completely) and a plot barely comparable to the typical Bugs Bunny cartoon.Having just now flicked through director Goldstein's other credits, I must say I can comfortably add him to the "not worth watching under any circumstances" list; whether it's his inability to bring life to a story (a talented director can breathe life into the most mundane stories) or just poor judgement in choosing what he takes on, is anyone's guess.

I read through a lot of the reviews here about this movie and cannot wonder why everyone hates it. It isn't the best comedy, nor is it the best one with Leslie Nielson in it, but... it is funny, with some good toilet humour, some cheap shots, some downright silly stuff which all adds up with a quite good and funny climax to the movie. Give it a chance, it's worth it! Spoilers!!! the funniest part is with the Bill Clinton doubles at the concert near the end, it's also the silliest, but it's partly what gives the movie it's charm. Actually the movie is well paced also without any boring bits, you certainly won't fall asleep (like with the Hulk) and you won't get a sore behind (like with Fight Club), you will smile, smirk and laugh :)

Oh dear. Poor old Leslie Neilsen must be the only movie star who feels like the rest of us: every day he has to get up for work and do the same thing over and over and over again...This so-called comedy is in the style of Neilsen's Naked Gun flicks, but the humour on display here is far removed from the inspired zaniness of that series of films. Neilsen's OK - he can do this kind of thing with his eyes shut, I imagine - but everything else about this film is bad. The female lead in this just about passes muster, but she only weighs about two stone, and the bad guy used to be Richard Briers' suave neighbour in Ever Decreasing Circles back in the 80s, so its just about impossible to see him as a real baddie.The film itself doesn't really have much to do with 2001 - in fact it looks more like a take on the Men in Black flicks, although films of every genre are referenced throughout. It does get marginally better in the last 20 minutes when the three tenors give a spirited rendition of Village People's In the Navy, but by then only the strongest-willed of viewers will still be around.Bottom line: Everyone involved in this should hang their heads in shame...

This isn't meant to be taken seriously; it's a movie you can laugh your head off while you watch. I loved the entire movie, but my favorite scenes have to be the mistakes with Dr. Pratt's wig; the entire "dueling saxophones?" piece where the president and his clone are on-stage, and the scene where Dix tries to sneak into (is it Pratt's?) office and starts playing that piece of classical/can-can music. I also like the little 'in-jokes' during the ending credits and right at the beginning of the movie. A previous reviewer called "2001: A Space Travesty" one of the stupidest and worst comedies ever? I don't know if another reviewer already said this or not, but: 'Describing like that implies that it was meant to be taken seriously.' Hey, the movie's an excuse to be silly. If I could rate any higher than 10, I would. This is one of my favorite movies ever.
