More Info
Since the Mary Katherine Gallagher character was funny
on Saturday Night Live, one might think it would make a
funny movie. Not so. There were less laughs in
this 81 minute movie than in the 5 minute SNL
scripts from which it was inspired. The few chuckles
that it did have were lines lifted straight from the
show. Somehow, even those didn't have the same energy
they did when done before a live audience. And the rest
was just... stupid. Not even funny. Just dumb.
Oh well. Gotta see some crap every now and then in order to
appreciate the good stuff.
