"The Wicker Man" is not a good movie. There, now that that's out of the way, I can tell you that this movie is certainly worth seeing. Not in the way you would think of it, however, because "The Wicker Man" is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I would rank it up there with "Airplane!" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." What's the best part about this? This film is supposed to be a horror movie. I wasn't scared at all. In fact, I couldn't be scared, or even shocked, because there were parts where I couldn't stop laughing.
The acting is terrible. Nicolas Cage is an incredibly wooden actor, delivering almost all of his lines in the same monotone voice, (although the more memorable parts of this movie are when he gets angry). The plot...? What plot, this movie makes no sense at all. And when the point of the movie is to scare the audience, this movie fails miserably. The music also sometime seems incredibly inappropriate, even laughable.
So if you can stand the bad parts of this movie, and enjoy it as it should be watched, you may find yourself a "Wicker Man" fan. I did.
