Good lord. This is one of the worst movies ever made, truly. And not in a good way.

Proof that, somewhere in the world, EVERY movie has a small cult following.

Except that movie has never had a cult following. It still doesn't (where would that cult have even come from -- the disastrous box-office showing? Or the 1.33 full-screen DVD that came out 20 years ago? LOL).
I mean I can go anywhere online and find someone who likes a certain movie. But just because there's one person or a couple of people posting in a message board doesn't mean there's a following for a film.
There comes a point when you have to draw the line in the sand somewhere and say, wtf. If this is just Warner releasing this movie finally on Blu-Ray, okay, it's one thing -- it's 2021 and they've run out of catalog titles seemingly -- but if it's Arrow or some indie label doing this, I have to sincerely question what in the WORLD they are doing.
This movie is absolute garbage. I mean really, it is the bottom of the barrel for studio filmmaking, and from any era. I can hardly think of any film with that much talent that sucked as horrifically or had so few redeeming elements. Or any redeeming elements. I love "so bad it's good" movies -- but this doesn't fit that. It's painful, depressingly unfunny and wretched, to the point of just being sad.
Maybe they can get Aykroyd to be honest and tell the Tom Mankiewicz anecdote that, while it was shooting, Aykroyd wanted to get himself fired because he admitted it was s#!t and had zero idea what he was doing. The finished product bears every bit of evidence that he was telling the truth.

I tried. I remember seeing it twice... it's hopeless.

There are definitely those masochistic filmgoers who pride themselves on getting through "unwatchable" movies like Freddy Got Fingered. I am not one of those people.

I tried watching Nothing But Trouble about a year ago. I turned it off after 15 minutes.
Sorry to say even Michael Kamen's score isn't that great.
