“Very enjoyable — and I’m very glad I’m not in it — though there are a few films of mine that I suspect Michael hasn’t found yet.”
— Bruce Beresford, director of Breaker Morant, Driving Miss Daisy and Mao’s Last Dancer

“Michael Adams’s book is great fun! No one intends to make a truly bad movie, but when they do, Michael Adams will be there to watch it…and make it entertaining!”
— John Landis, director of Trading Places, An American Werewolf In London and The Blues Brothers

“Michael Adams is the Peter Biskind of really crappy movies. I thank him for watching these films so I didn’t have to claw my eyes out myself.”
— A.J. Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All and The Year Of Living Biblically.

“Like many of the bad movies it celebrates, this book is addictive, mesmerizing and endlessly amusing.”
— Harry Medved, co-author of The Golden Turkey Awards and The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.

“Reading Michael Adams’s disturbingly comprehensive book is like being dragged through the fun parts of hell in a flame-proof suit. having had both hands in the cesspools of cinema for more than twenty years, I can say with confidence that this book is the best of its kind: a joyously critical, deeply personal journey through a medium we love to hate almost as much as we love to love.”
— Kevin Murphy, co-star of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax and author of A Year at the Movies

“Michael Adams is a true humanitarian. His quest to see the world’s worst movies not only saves you from having to endure the pain but it’s also hilarious, gruelling and a triumph of the human spirit — or maybe it’s just stupid. Either way, it’s great fun.”
— Matt Coyte, Rolling Stone (Australia)

“Adams climbs an Everest of manure, and then starts digging, not just into the lives of the people who made these monstrosities, but into his own. It is a truly epic tale.”
— Oscar Hillerström, Sci-Fi Channel

“To make a series of bad movies seem far more interesting off screen than they ever were on it is a true feat. I laughed out loud, I questioned his taste and I bowed down at the patience his partner and child must have had to let him watch such masterpieces!”
— Claire Isaac, OK! magazine
