Customer Reviews

Loads of great bad movie lines. Yum!

I bought this book through a link on the Stinkers Bad Movie Awards website. It has a lot of hilarious, awkward, or just plain ridiculous movie lines, soliloquies, trailer teasers, and more. Although the lines probably sounded goofier on movie soundtracks than they read on the printed page, they're still a ball! They hark back to the times when bad movies were amusingly cheesy grade-Z cinema during the heyday of the Cold War, and were hilarious enough to rate an entry on Mystery Science Theater 3000 - unlike today's giant, bloated multi-million-dollar megaton cheesebombs, which aren't entertaining (or any fun) at all. The book proves that Joe Esterhazs (whose is quoted here) gets paid $3 million a script to achieve the same low quality that the cheesemasters of yore did, for way less. Buy this book, get a can of Pringles and a cheap soda, and enjoy. By the way, if you like this book, the authors say in the intro that they are putting together a sequel! Yum!

Laugh-o-rama!

Campy and ridiculous and very funny! This collection of really godawful movie lines is definitely stupid, but a lot of laughs. There are special sections in here that are really a hoot (there's one about bad romantic lines that killed me). Loved it -- but I wish there had been more special sections, personally.

Two Thumbs Up!

Recommended for any movie fan! I laughed, I cried (with laughter!). Truly funny -- and the range of movies included is what makes it so fun to read.....everything from Titanic to Night of the Lepus. If you love film, you'll get a kick out of this book.

Great stupidity!

I love bad movies and bad movie lines. This is a fantastic book with lots of fun stuff -- even from many movies I wouldn't have expected like "Roadhouse" or "Communion." Or from serious hi-toned "art" movies. And of course all the good ones you would expect from awful sci-fi and monster movies. Tons of fun.

Bad Movie Fans Rejoice!

A must-read for fans of bad movies. This is a hysterical selection of the worst lines imaginable from Plan 9 to the present. While a lot is from 50s and 60s sci-fi films, there's a lot here that I wouldn't have expected, but it's all very funny. If you like film, you'll love it!
