W.A.S.P. Volume 1: I Do, I Don't

The video box claims that W.A.S.P. stands for "World Association of Stupid People," so I wouldn't ordinarily belabor the point of how stupid this video really is, but since the title does include those terrifying words "Volume 1," I feel it's my duty to make sure you understand just how banal and insipid this puppy truly is. Sporting horrible audio and looking like something that was shot in one bad take with a cast of thirty-something actors, "Volume 1" introduces Bill, who wants to marry Michelle, the proverbial girl next door (both apparent grads from the ‘grasp-my-pearls' school of acting--grab your neck, roll your eyes, exaggerate any facial expressions, and believe that the louder you yell the funnier you are). Bill gets cold feet, decides to ask all the idiotic (and obnoxious) neighbors whether he should marry or not, and ends up at the close of the video being held at gunpoint by his future brother-in-law. If any of this sounds vaguely entertaining, then I have truly failed to capture the essence of this tape. Not now and not ever recommended. (N. Plympton)
