Tim Burton called up Chris Elliott and Adam Resnick to make him a sort-of "Pee-wee's Big Adventure"(1985) for the 90's, but then he left the project to direct "Ed Wood"(1994), leaving Resnick and Elliot to attempt to make their version of a Tim Burton movie. The end result was Elliot starring as the not-Pee-wee "fancy lad" and Resnick making his directorial debut, which made the final film this kind of wonky, oddly mesmerizing, quirky comedy, that isn't nearly as bad as its reputation persists.

Fun family movie reminiscent of Ray Harryhausen fantasy films. I don't get the hate. Having Melora Walters show up breathes new life to the plot. Yeah, Chris Elliott plays a moron but how many other actors have made a career out of playing clueless buffoons? Fav scene: revealing the giant.

Tedious bore. There does come a point where Elliot's annoyingness stops being an issue, but it only highlights how the fim's real problem is the complete lack of actual comedy, or anything else of worth.

Whenever I'm trying to remember Chris Elliott's name, I cite this movie but no one ever knows what I'm talking about.

I love finding critically-panned films that are actually fun to watch. Unfortunately, this fact is not relevant to this review.
