Copper Mountain

Jim Carrey doing average-to-poor impersonations and Ronnie Hawkins performing entire songs on stage just to stretch this incompetent travesty of a "movie" to a sixty minute running time. They should have just done it as a video sketch and left it at that. There is only enough plot here for about three minutes of predictable screen time. What is the point of this movie? Why does the band let some guy walk up on stage and impersonate Sammy Davis Jr for five whole minutes, and provide him with back-up music? Why is Ronnie Hawkins performing for nobody? What was Alan Thicke thinking when he agreed to do this? Obviously they didn't pay him much since the entire budget of this film was obviously about three hundred dollars. At least Jim Carrey has the excuse of this being his first film so he didn't need to care how stupid it made him look...... at least not at the time. I'm sure he regrets it now though. One out of ten.
