    If I had to choose between watching this movie again and stabbing out my eyes, well . . . where's the ice pick?

    I too saw the piece of @#$@$%. It was truly an independent piece of @#$@$%. It looks like a lot of work and from the credits looks like Dworman movie had some good people working on it. I mean, it was really a two in one - a musical dance piece and a movie - and the locations looked really expensive - lots of extras - a lizard lady - too bad the script sucked. Didn't anyone help him fix it, or tell him his acting kinda sucked. How about his directing - I mean what directing - wasn't anyone there honest with him? I'll be honest - dont quit your day job! Please!! cool … Expand

    I didn't like everything about the film, but I know people who didn't like 2001. I was, however, amazed by the ability of this first-time director to assemble, train and shoot so many kids in complicated, entertaining dance sequences on what was certainly a low budget. I was also impressed by his courage at taking on some tough, confusing relationship issues that couples, parents and children are faced with way too often. Maybe Dworman missed a few beats, haven't we all, but making a move ain't easy, and the screen reveals a valiant, sincere effort by all concerned deserving of some kudos. So here they are. … Collapse

    Self-indulgent narcisim at its worst (is that possible?) I wonder how his real life family feels about this mean spirited effort at movie making? He should be ashamed. He's only hurting himself. No one will take him seriously again.

    This movie is about the worst movie I've ever seen. From the begging this film sucks..... then in the middle it sucks....and at the end it sucks even more. Don't waste your time.

    Disgusting narcisism. I hope he feels some guilt regarding the cruel treatment of his family. Imagine how his real life daugter must feel? It's not even a well made film per se.

    The movie climaxes with an entire audience farting -- a more concise review than this one.

    Dworman's comic style dangles in the abyss somewhere between sub-Woody Allen and Mel Brooks (his script borrows too heavily from both).

    Every stab at comedy in this mirthless slog is botched.
