Deuce Bigalow drawing critical raves...
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 04:02 PM by edbermac
From 5 out of 47 listed reviews; Rotten Tomato reader is at 11%, and it'll probably outgross The Dukes Of Hazzard this weekend...no pun intended...

And to think in the 50's and 60's, Orson Welles had to go crawling to every studio in the world to get financing for his movies and getting turned down 99% of the time...while pictures like DB are greenlighted every day...

4. And, apparently, no one ever lost an election doing the same.

2. if only welles had live 10 years longer
miramaz and the surge in indie studios would have given him another chance. he kept scraping by right up til 1985, appearing in crap like wine commercials and 'transformers:the movie' to raise funds
