If your idea of a good time is a new per- version every other minute, this movie is a must. All others be forwarned: THNH is ludicrous, woodenly acted, vulgar, stupid, demeaning, vicious, inco- herent and laughable. This movie isn't even camp...its just one tired, aimless scene after another. I know the Irving fans will say it makes sense if you read the book, but movies have to stand on their own. This one falls flat on its face. Yeccch!!!
