It's just one of those movies, that most people hate, without even seeing it. They say "Ahaha, it's from Uwe Boll. It sucks".

No, actually it doesn't suck at all. The whole movie has a horrible plot, overacting and bizarre scenes over and over. Well, it is actually the movie version of a very very bizarre game with no real plot and crazy citizens.

So if you haven't played the (fantastic) game, and you say this movie is rubbish, you haven't really got any right to say that. It really adaptates the game style and it's ideas. There is the lucky Ganesh, the cat silencer, the crazy chasing mob, the trailer park and so on. They even hired Verne Troyer, since Gary Coleman didn't want to join. So Boll actually really tried.

Sure, the movie has it's boring sequences and bad jokes, but overall you get many gags all over from beginning to the end. Most of them are just so awefully wrong, that it's frenetic. Even Uwe Boll made fun of himself, when he said, he is financing his movies by nazi gold, and he pays someone with gold-teeth.

To sum things up, I think this was a pretty nice movie, for the fans of the game, this has many references and gives a similar style of humor back.
