(Flash Review)
This movie actually had a plot that could have been rather entertaining. A soap opera producer and writer gets into a car accident, bumps his head and ends up inside the world he invented...on paper. He quickly learns he can write scenarios that will then happen in the quirky reality. He recreates himself into a wealthy man of mystery to win over a fancy upper class woman. Completely terrible acting, which I presume was trying to parody bad soap opera acting but the real scenes blended in with the soap parody scenes so everything was overacted and dismal. Additionally, there were bad sound effects for physical gags. So bad I began to wonder how the sound guy made the sounds. The drama stems from side effects from what he writes and not thinking through repercussions of his fairy tale desires. I like John Candy but maybe someone else will find this more funny than I.
