The “serious” comedy Roger Ebert hated with a passion

Comedy is a completely subjective art form, and a film that leaves a spectator doubled in laughter attacks can leave another completely motionless. That said, Roger Ebert He was not in the minority when he criticized a comic recount as among the worst films that he had had the misfortune of looking.

In fact, it is difficult to find anyone who has something even remotely positive to say about a unanimously ridiculed characteristic that could not gather a positive review to save their life and deservedly amazed at the box office after recovering less than 8% of their budget in ticket sales.

No filmmaker intends to make a bad movie on purpose, but sometimes, it happens. Ebert’s work demanded that he examine the good, the bad and the ugly of the cinema to judge what images they deserved to be praised and that he needed to be criticized, and he I hated a so -called comedy who refused to give him a rating of stars.

While several films obtained that unwanted distinction from the legendary critic, 1992 Frozen assets It could be the only one for which Ebert volunteered to enter projections throughout the country to guide the audience outside the auditorium and security; Such was his determination that no one should be subject to an afflant so representable to the celluloid.

“I didn’t feel like a spectator during Frozen assets: I felt like an ocular witness in a disaster, “he wrote in his review. “If it were more a hero, it would spend the next two weeks entering the cinemas where this film is shown and took the audience to a safe place. And if I had been an actor in the movie, I would ask me why all the characters in Frozen assets It seems more silly than the average Roadkill. “

The story finds Zach Shepard by Corbin Bernsen thinking that his career is in UP when he is hired as president of a bank, just to discover that it is a sperm bank. To increase businesses, decides to hold a fundraising to find a taxpayer with the highest sperm count, and the results are as fun as they sound.

Exploitation of total precision Frozen assets As “seriously bad,” Ebert insisted that “no adult could enjoy a single frame of the film” and that, from his perspective, “he did not get any possible audience in mind.” Indeed, it was shown that it was correct when it had a total anemic box office of less than $ 380,000 in the United States.

Ebert also wondered “how at any stage of production, anyone could have thought there was an observable film here.” Offering his most sincere recommendation, the critic was described “a film to see in frightened silence” and suggested that it would be “a kindness” for Frozen assets Be called one of the worst of the year, especially when there were many other descriptors that I could have used.
