Considering the reviews this film got, I went in with very small expectations. In the end, I was entertained. Sure, it is over-the-top and cheesy to no end. Sure, the acting is nothing spectacular. This is not great cinema. But, it is a great excuse to turn off your brain for a few hours and laugh at a movie that has the charm of not taking itself seriously. That helps greatly. The David Hasselhof cameo was a nice touch too.
