Wow. I mean… wow. This has to be some kind of record.
I thought for sure that, after it had been out a while, at least one critic somewhere– Little Rock? Mobile?– would give it a thumbs up. It just doesn’t seem possible… though at the same time, I can’t honestly say I’m surprised.
What shoots this anomaly into the stratosphere for me is the sheer number of negative reviews that mention the Smash Mouth soundtrack by name. No one involved is allowed to quietly sneak out the back way. Just more grist for the mill.

One has to wonder if both, all two of, the users that rated this movie positively spent even a moment questioning if there is such a thing as objective taste in “art”, and whether their status as so far out of the mainstream is cause for alarm.

As a frame of reference, Catwoman got a 6%. Gigli was a 9.
It may not exactly be a record, but Tim Allen is in some pretty exclusive company.

I had noticed the King’s Ransom rating way back when. I think the zero for Zoom is more impressive because I’ve actually seen commercials for it, so they’re actually putting some marketing muscle behind it, for all the good it’s doing them.
