Although someone stated that _Zelig_ was disappointing and a trifle
boring I propose that it be dropped from the "Totally Bad" list.

I distinctly remember laughing (or was it groaning) when I watched 
_Zelig_.  On the grounds that it was supposed to be a comedy this is
at least testimonial evidence that it achieved some of its purpose.
Besides, the 1920's look of the film was pretty well done --for a
farce that is.  In terms of spoofing the rash of movie biographies
that have appeared in recent years I think _Zelig_ did a commendable
job.  Not a great --or even good-- movie, but certainly not "Totally
Bad."

Make that another vote for "_Zelig_ OFF"
