Audience Member Bad on purpose is still bad. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Between a 5/10 and 6/10, replicating the look and feel of the campy pictures produced during the 1960's, this homage to cornball action films from that era wore out its welcome long before the credits rolled. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One line summary: Funny sendoff of the 1960s spy genre. ------------------ This is a movie about a movie by director Fernando Fernandez. It stars blonde model Bridget and brunette model Sophia, who have second lives as Jasmine and Paoloa, who are assassins. In a tongue-in-cheek James Bond style, they kill people and steal stuff. As models they practice their wit while at photo shoots or on the runway. There are pillow fights, parties, lots of drinking, very clever lines, 1960s costumes, a death cult (the worst kind), and a criminal mastermind. There are also a number of terrible translation and lip-syncing jobs done by (fictitious) Germans who are listed in the opening credits. The technical references, compared to 2014 standards, are hilarious. Goodness, I forgot the ultra-silly chases in mod clothing. Set in South America in 1966, but filmed in Los Angeles, CA, USA. The two leads follow strange paths to solve the mystery setup during their first assassination. Will they be successful in defeating the bad guys? Will they survive the death cult? -----Scores------ Cinematography: 5/10 Looks like so-so 1960s VHS quality. This is by intention, but it still looks bad. The costumes were good. Sound: 6/10 The lip-synching gets old after a while. The terrible translations, though, are funny throughout. The music is more than a bit dull. Acting: 8/10 The tongue-in-cheek attitude and affect was done well. Screenplay: 6/10 Reasonably funny. There were so many targets to make fun of from 1960s culture. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not very funny, even when you're playing the official drinking game. It would have been a lot better played straight.
