Ricky Coogan (Alex Winter) was a lovable child star who was hired by Everything Except Shoes corporation to be a spokesman. They sent the self-obsessed has-been to South America to promote a controversial fertilizer which is banned in the US and Europe. He's too greedy not to take the $5 million. He brings best friend Ernie and pursued by annoying obsessed fan Stuey Gluck. Ricky lusts after environmentalist Julie (Megan Ward) and cons her to join them. They stop at a roadside freak show Freak Land owned by Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid). The three are kidnapped as Skuggs use the chemical Ricky is suppose to be promoting to transform them into freaks.
I have no problem with deliberate ugliness and sarcastic humor. It simply overloads the movie and overwhelms the comedy. It gets tiresome after awhile but it still has some fun moments. Alex Winter, Megan Ward and Michael Stoyanov are a loud threesome who has some funny jokes.
