[@FilmBrain]

This review was originally posted in July 2012, of which this is a re-edited version (upscaled to HD), and was the 100th episode of the show produced - and coincidentally, marks 100 videos in the Bad Movie Beatdown playlist, because I like symmetry like that. This version runs 2m 36s shorter than the original - this was originally released in two versions, one with cameos and one without (this is based on the former) - with the usual cuts for pacing and film clips, as well as one or two jokes that I don't feel have aged very well; re-cutting the film clips was especially challenging here because many scenes are in static extended shots, so there's quite a bit of fades here, and I've also slowed down footage or used still frames for sections where it played lengthily under narration. The cameos contain quite a few in-jokes, so don't worry if you don't get them (I'm sure I'll tell the stories elsewhere if asked in the comments). I guess this is to coincide with the UK release of Hotel Transylvania 3, which is this weekend... yeah, we'll say its to tie with that and not because of the 100 thing. Anyway, enjoy! EDIT: I did uncover some things about the film recently. It was created in the span of 3 months, having been written in 3 days and filmed in 8, on an $800,000 budget. It was very briefly theatrically released in one LA theater under the title of "The Unsinkable Shecky Moskowitz" (as I hinted in the review), and apparently also went by "Babes Ahoy" for a time. The film can also count another person who went onto greater success among the cast - Dan Povenmire, the co-creator of Phineas and Furb, is one of the members of Croaker's band.

Film Brain - The only joke I noticed that you removed was when you assumed the director was lesbian. What else was cut?

I didn't cut any other jokes, I don't think. I don't think Ebert named this as the worst of 1989. Hardly anyone saw it then. And... er... whoops! I'll add it to the playlist now.

It's rather "hilarious" to hear an Adam Sandler character claim that joking about incest is gross and unfunny when years later he was involved with "That's My Boy", a film where, among many other gross and unfunny things, a sister got caught cheating on her fiance with her own brother.

[@TheSkully343]

Oh goodness if only. Then again if that did happen Adam Sandler would wish Jason away as a dream he had to prolong the agony of this movie.

[@03bgood]

Both movies were made in 1989, so that could've worked.

I like to think that the terrorist assassins used the dictators secret flying time machine and landed in the exact coordinates of the cruise ship. It's about as stupid as the actual movie.

I'm a die hard Adam Sandler and even I hate this movie.

[@HBarnill]

Sandler used to make some films I didn’t mind, like Happy Gilmore and Little Nicky before he dedicated himself to destroy comedy itself. Though in all fairness, recently, he’s been doing better, like in The Meyerowitz Stories. He’s even doing a Sadfe Bros movie. Excited for that.

[@JackCoxx]

Sandler is weird that way. He clearly can act if he wants to. I’m assuming the Safdie film is good stuff and his performance in PDL and Meyerowitz were also great.

[@thecinematicmind]

One of my least favourite films of all time. Also this film has the world’s worst Long Take in film history.

[@KraigFang]

I really liked Adam’s comedy tape in my teens. Laughed and laughed so much... one day I found it in an old box of mine and said, “This was so funny back in the day, I gotta show my friends at work!” Was allowed to play any kind of music where I worked (head/porn shop;)... played it for a friend who was much younger than me... After a few minutes we both looked at each other and he said, “WHAT THE FUCK IS SO FUNNY ABOUT *THIS* “ Then we both laughed at how horrible it was. Just a lame story of my Sandler Experience ;)

[@tyrongkojy]

The shirt part is pretty obviously not a continuity error, but on purpose. Like, VERY obviously not an error.

[@FilmBrain]

But does it qualify as a joke? I'd argue, "No, not really."

[@scottylewis8124]

Film Brain to be honest I heard better jokes from Gallagher.

[@tyrongkojy]

The joke is that since the characters can't decide on a shit, neither can the filmmakers. Again, REALLY obvious. You can not find it funny, sure, but to not recognise that as the joke? Come on, man.....

[@andysee6996]

So this whole movie is basically an excuse for softcore porn in the days before the internet, huh. I'd like to see a movie in which women in swimsuits not only have their skin revealed, but their true personalities as well. Perhaps it's about a series of women (and maybe even men) who go on vacation with themes of deception and hiding one's true self and the circumstances cause these people to stop decieving others for one reason or another. Does that sound like a good idea for a movie? Does that sort of movie exist?

I actually Liked this movie. I mean Adam Sandler carries alot energy in this film. It really brings me back to his earlier performances (like in airheads) when he cared more about having fun and less about being annoyed with the film he was in starring in. I didn't feel that way during pixels mind u which I still believe was a great movie. Of course this movie was clearly made on the cheap but I feel that only adds to the charm. It's like the creative team behind this film just wanted to make a bloody movie not win any awards or fatten their wallets. Not to say there's anything wrong with that sort of motivation it's just refreshing to see someone who made a movie to have fun and tell a story.
