Review:
Okay so I had built it up a little in my head simply because the title is well...purely awesome and it's such a ridiculous concept, I was sold! Firstly, it's not a 6/10 movie like I've rated it, if you are going by quality it's more like a 5/10 or less....but in entertainment value it's pretty darned fun. If you are into half naked chicks then add some extra points on here as this is one of the more gratuitously jiggly films I've come across. That didn't do much for me but the cheese, music, and murders did. The story is well...an attempt at a story. In the opening sequence we see Valerie being burned in a tragic tanning bed accident (and you wondered what made this movie amusing), then cut ahead to her twin sister Rhonda who owns a gym. Well suddenly the girls are getting bumped off (using a totally stupid weapon I might add, it actually took a lot away from the film). They do try for a bit of a twist ending and they go for a "whodunnit" sort of thing too which shows is both annoyingly boring and a bit of a surprise. The gore level is well...very minimal but if you are into the ridiculous then I'm sure you'll need a copy too. It really must be seen to be believed, but it may be more entertaining than you bargained for!
