This is without doubt the worst omnibus movie I have ever seen. It's basically a crap Twilight Zone type of thing. But without any of the imagination that made that show interesting. The three stories here all try to mix weirdness with humour. I think it's supposed to be a parody of the genre but it's so witless it's hard to notice. Martin Short, John Candy and Catherine O'Hara star in this but none of them can elevate it much. The first story is about robot playmates, the second is about a charismatic salesman and the third about a nun who makes people explode. The writing is terrible and without exception every single segment is completely pointless. I can't recommend this to anyone really. It's very bad.
