I made the mistake of seeing parts of the 1994 movie The Road to Wellville on HBO this weekend. I believe it is just about The Worst movie I have ever seen. Like an Ishtar, but worse, because it gives you this grimy, unsettling feeling watching it. It’s almost worth watching if only to see how horrible it is. There’s a horrible scene when Anthony Hopkins actually makes Mathew Broderick crap into a pan and then examines the stool and criticizes it for being too smelly. Endless stuff like that. It’s really ghastly. And I am flabbergasted–Ebert gave it 3 stars….
