But then he meets billionaire Armand McMillian (Jack Warden), who takes a shine to the young bum -- so much so that he leaves his invention company to him upon his death. Unfortunately, Armand's nephew, Bradford (Larry Miller), only gets a surfboard. While Edison manages to run the company successfully, with the help of pretty Natalie (Courtney Thorne-Smith), Bradford conspires to take him down.

Carrot Top doesn't stretch from his prop-heavy stage act. He mugs, pouts and speaks loudly. Luckily for him, Jack Plotnick's annoying portrayal of Zak saves him from being the movie's worst actor.

I don’t think this movie is as bad as everyone says. Haven’t watched it in years and saw it for free and decided to give it a whirl. I recently watched Jim Carrey’s The Mask and this was on par when it comes to the comedy and movie plot. A lot of one liners, slap stick stuff that falls short. I even thought at one point “is carrot top trying to be Jim Carrey in this movie?” But overall an amusing movie that is fun to watch. It seems like more of a kids movie, made for 10-14 year olds. But not as horrifying as everyone makes it seem. Watch it thinking Walmart brand Jim Carrey 90’s comedy and you’ll get it.

OK, it's silly and whatever. The best part of this movie is Conan's interview with Courtney (and Norm Macdonald.) That was the best part of this movie. Norm nails it. Look it up on the YT.
