Red-Barracuda 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.

merklekranz All fans of both Martin Short and John Candy beware! Both segments, Short's and Candy's, are really weak, uninteresting, and strictly predictable, or utterly ridiculous. The third segment is mildly successful, but no better than a Saturday Night Live skit. Perhaps two giggles total in all three segments makes this not worth the time to view. Absolutely disregard the rave reviews on this site, or you will be destined to follow my mistake of putting far to much hope in the named actors. This is not even on a par with National Lampoon's most tiresome efforts. Save your time and save your money, and avoid, avoid, avoid. - MERK

tromafan-2 A couple months ago I was browsing through a used book/movie store and found a pile of this movie. All were brand new and marked $2.99. I took one look and saw who starred and picked it up. Watching this movie is like watching "Sizzle beach U.S.A. (Kevin Costner's first film). The stars all look different, and the acting is pretty cheesy. The first tale "All well that ends strange" features Martin Short as a third rate lounger looking for some action, but then discovers whas really behind those buxom bodies and cute smiles. The second "Cursed with Charisma" is about the town of Fitchville who gets tricked by a no money down real estate boom. "I'll die loving" the last storie has a hilarious Catherein O' Hara with a really strange porblem. All stories teach a lesson and are really weird tales.

Crowbot-2 This is really creepy. It's also probably one of the best sci fi's ever made. With original stories that keep you guessing to the end with really weird endings you'll be sleeping with the lights on for weeks.
