Movie 43

Aroview: Hollywood's enthusiasm for large ensemble comedies continues with this star-studded monstrosity, framed around a struggling director (Quaid) whose pitches to a studio executive are played out across a series of increasingly moronic sketches.

Like every portmanteau feature, there are occasional flashes of brilliance, although in the case of this movie, the majority of short films showcased are poorly conceived and often in bad taste, with the sense of humour juvenile at best, and at worst, simply puerile.
