Review of Busted

Busted (1997 Video)
3/10
Stupendously lame comedy has only some T&A to recommend it
3 February 2007
"Busted" is a terrible comedy. The jokes are old, unfunny, obvious, moronic, and endlessly repeated (the running gag of the "scary" music heard each time someone says the words "Peeping Tom" is just awful). If you pick a random person off the street and ask him or her to tell you a joke, chances are they'll tell you a better one than any contained in this movie. Chances also are that they'll be better at directing a movie than Corey Feldman, though it may be a little unfair to judge a debuting director's work when the budget constricts him to a single set for about 90% of the running time. The only thing this film has going for it is that some of the women are VERY sexy, especially police officers Lacey and Casey (played by former Playboy Playmates Ava Fabian and Devin DeVasquez). Unfortunately, the movie's ONE potentially good idea, a boxing match between these two, instead of being something funny or sexy, turns into a sour "Rocky" parody. Watch for "special appearances" by Julie Strain, who shockingly (yeah, right) gets naked, and Elliott Gould, who may have appeared in a worse movie in his long career, but I don't want to know anything about it.
