I can't believe I completely forgot all about this little screen "gem".

I was looking around on usenet in a movie group and ran across The 1980 Dudley Moore movie Wholly Moses. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081751/ I had completely forgotten it ever existed.

This movie came out when I was TEN. I saw it at the theater in my local mall. Even at that age I recognized its true awfulness. Does anyone else remember? No?
That doesn't surprise me. What does amaze me is that it's so forgettable that I don't think I've ever seen it included in any "worst movie" lists even though it SO deserves the recognition. It makes Ishtar look like The Bicycle Thief by comparison.

Anyhow I'm going to download it and use it as a form of punishment for my ten year old son.
"Take out that trash mister or its another 15 minutes of Wholly Moses for you!"

ETA even Richard Pryor succumbed to it's sucky-ness.
