All signs point to no but I'm still not so sure. It made me like it even more I was watching a movie called The Carrier and had to look up if it was a comedy.

There are many bad movies, but there are few as transcendentally awful as this one.  Don't miss it.

(keeping in mind she could only see and not hear it)  I was like, "Yeah, that's about right". It is so unbeleivablty ridiculous and poorly executed, yet so, so earnest - I actually find it more tolerable than The Room, which has a little too much of Wiseau "gettin' his romancing on" for my taste.
