Flywheel is a movie written by children, for children. It seems the Kendrick brothers have such a strong aversion to anything unchristian that they can only lunge in the general direction of sinfulness when writing characters who ostensibly need Jesus. Other than a handful of childishly simple and family-friendly misdeeds, namely dishonesty and familial neglect, there are no "sins" to be found. Every character speaks in minced oaths and steers clear of anything that could be construed as sacrilegious or…

Alien³ 1992
**I watched the special edition

My Wife Is Retarded 2007
Tone Deaf
What My Wife is Retarded doesn't seem to realize is that the sense of humor it desperately attempts to deprecate is inherently its own. In other words, this film does nothing but insult the kind of people who would find it funny in the first place. If you found it funny, then you're "retarded" by its own metric. Thankfully, I didn't find it funny, but I wouldn't be surprised if it managed to intellectually delay its viewers into enjoying it.
2/10
