The title of this review does let you know pretty much exactly what you're in for.
This is, despite many flaws, quite a lot of fun if you're in the right mood. Yes, the SFX are clunky, the jokes and visual gags misfire most of the time and the music is pretty weak. The music video with Pia and Jermaine Jackson has precisely no place in the movie's plot, so that's sort of a plus point in this reality.
However, the sense of energy and fun, especially from Pia Zadora, keeps the nonsense ticking along and Michael Berryman's chainsaw maniac subplot is amusing. And you could cut yourself on Craig Sheffer's cheekbones.
As Eighties sci-fi musicals go, 'The Apple' is easily far worse than this.
