Trapped in the Most Unintentionally Funny Movie Ever
Okay so I have finally discovered the best it's-so-bad-that-it's-awesome movie of 2005... and possibly of all time... R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet.
My husband rented in from Blockbuster (who knows what possessed him to do that). And he forced me to watch a little bit of it one morning before he went to work. I think the plan was to put it on and watch about 3 minutes so we could see just how bad it was, and then mail it back to blockbuster. But once it started, we couldn't stop watching... we got sucked in. I mean, I've never seen anything like this in my life, and there's probably a good reason for that. It was beyond awful. Everything from the looped music (which by the way, NEVER changes... seriously, how could these people stand to hear the same 3 seconds of music while they were filming is beyond me), to the play-by-play lyrics, to the actual plot... were so beyond the worst thing anyone could ever create that the whole time I couldnt help but think "who on earth would financially support this crap?" But once you accept how terrible the whole thing is, it becomes hysterical. And just when you think things couldnt get more outragious, they do. It's one LONG opportunity to laugh. Anyway, it's definitely worth seeing if you have a few extra brain cells you're trying to kill off.
But something good did come out of this tragedy... parodies. People have been making their own (intentionally funny) versions of trapped in the closet, and these are so funny, it makes seeing the original worthwhile, just so you can laugh that much harder at the parodies. Here are some good ones:
Jimmy Kimmel's The Pizza
Mad TV's Trapped in the Cupboard
These reviews are worth checking out too (and they are dead on):

Enjoy.
