The one thing I liked about it is that I now have a new movie to add to my "Worst movies I've ever scene" list. What made it worse was every time I see Mark Wahlberg on screen, I can't stop thinking about the "Mark Wahlberg talks to animals" sketch. It was so right on with how he delivers all of his lines.

What is awesome is that the movie is only 86 minutes long. The only time a movie is that short is when they have to hack at the print with a razor blade. I'd love to see the original, even more terrible cut.

i thought the lawnmower scene was a cool idea, but they didn't deliver on the gore. Considering the entire ad campaign was about how this was R-Rated, it was a royal let down. They might as well have just cut it differently and scored a PG-13.

Peter Jackson would not tolerate this lawnmower buffoonery. SIT DOWN.

Agreed, you want a good lawnmower scene, rent 'Dead Alive'. Or better yet... "Blades", which is a cheesy 1980s horror about a killer lawnmower at an expensive resort.

True, I do believe that once upon a time I saw Blades and was stoked (a young mind is strange). But for the best, Tina and Dennis, I have to agree Dead Alive is the finest lawnmower moment.
