This slapdash comedy barely coughs up more than a couple of funny scenes as the story moves in predictable fits and starts before sputtering out of fuel half way through.

The script, by 온라인카지노추천 writer Wayne Conley, shares some elements with the old Danny DeVito comedy Ruthless People, but humor isn't one of them.

King's Ransom lumbers forth clumsily, choreographing its slapstick pratfalls with all the class and taste of a Courtney Love relapse.

| Sep 26, 2005

The thing looks like it was written in a week, directed in two, and forgotten about by all involved in less than three.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 1, 2005

King's Ransom deserves to be bashed, burned, and have its ashes scattered over Hollywood

Basically an improv scene sprawling to feature length.

| Original Score: D+ | May 4, 2005

A mirthless comedy about venal people doing stupid things.

| Original Score: 0/5 | May 1, 2005

Byrd's romp through the most contemptible stereotypes of women, gays, and ethnic minorities makes his film unfit for just about anyone, never mind royalty.

| Apr 30, 2005

Mean-spirited, unpleasant comedy about characters who are both nasty and stupid and who deserve every bad thing that happens to them. In fact, they deserve more.

| Original Score: F | Apr 30, 2005

All these plots converge in a decidedly unfunny cacophony.

| Apr 29, 2005

Needless to say, as a cringe-worthy and excruciatingly awful comedy, you shouldn't pay a dime of King's Ransom.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Apr 29, 2005

'Screenwriter' Wayne Conley's idea of side-splitting dialogue is to have characters repeatedly tell King to "kiss their black ass." Or announce that they just "pooted."

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 29, 2005

Marital bickering, a mistaken-identity sex romp and booty shots galore follow, but few laughs.

| Apr 28, 2005

[A] crass, trashy and none-too-funny comedy.
