The lame
National Lampoon cascade of crap continues with Cattle Call, a 2007 mess about three guys who pretend they are
casting a film to meet sexy woman. Of
course, the pretending about filmmaking extends to this mess where nobody is
funny, only some of the women are actually “that” sexy and the script is as
non-existent as the lack of originality.
Diedrich
Bader is the only actor I recognized and everyone here is as quickly forgotten
as the last forgotten Lampoon release.
The cutting edge has never been so dull, but might be enough to commit
suicide with if you watch enough of these time killers.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 is cheaply shot on older HD of some kind that
looks so soft and bad, this might as well be low-def as the color is lame and
the shots are like a bad sitcom. The
Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 mixes are very weak, pointing to the low budget of
this quickie (no pun intended). The only
extras are trailers for DVDs that cannot possibly be worse.
