Serving Sara (2002)
A high-concept refugee from the '80s that somehow escaped the studio vaults and terrorized multiplexes for a week or two in the dog days of August (does anyone out there besides me still remember that this even came out?), this features one of the most embarrassing and ill-conceived scat-com centerpieces you're ever likely to witness. The pastry scene in Van Wilder was less heinous than the scene in which Matthew Perry has to manually stimulate a bull's prostate gland, and brother, that's saying a mouthful. The only thing this just-add-HBO fodder has going for it is an enthusiastic (if not actually funny or accomplished or anything like that) performance by Liz Hurley and the precious few moments with the almighty Bruce Campbell. That this gets a Paramount-backed release with a big promotional push while Bubba Ho-Tep still has no distributor is a fucking crime.
