One bad comedy, 14 February 1999
1/10
Author: Wizard-8 from Victoria, BC

Did the actual William Peter Blatty write this?!? Whoever wrote this wrote an awful script that's unfunny and filled with loose ends and subplots not fully explained. It feels at times like it was written by someone who had only seen one other comedy in their life - knowing the words but not the music, if you follow me. An embarrassment for all concerned.
