This book is akin to really bad fanfic, with the author inserting himself into fictional events that just don't gel. I slogged through this snore fest for about a third of the way before I just gave up. It was NOT funny. Bruce's life, career, and his experience in the business are fascinating. He lampoons that in this book to poor effect. A serious let down.

I love Bruce Campbell, no matter how horrible some of his movies are--he needs to keep making them. Or--books just like them, which is pretty much what this is. Its a B movie, in book format. Its a very fun read, great beach type, breezy page turner. I read the bulk of it in one day, the horrible photoshop renderings that are scattered on the pages keeping me very amused.

He has been cast in a potential Oscar nod role in "Let's Make Love" with Richard Gere and Renee Zellwegger, Bruce wants very badly to move up in the acting world out of his Bolivian shooting schedule and need to do so many stunts. However, as the book/shooting of the 'film' continue his enthusiasim for the project seems to snowball everyone else around him into a B movie frenzie (this is all part of a pretty amusing part of the plot--but I shall say no more). Not only does the film turn into a B movie, but so does Bruce's life it appears, a car chase, a fist fight, many run ins with the law. All in all he keeps the narrative rolling, I was never bored while reading this. Only had a few problems with how it was edited ( a few of the graphics--actually tied in with the actual text and were misplaced by a few lines causing me to stumble a bit as I read, and a few typos that had me raising the old eyebrow)

Essentially if you enjoy his movies, you will probably enjoy this book, if you like campy sort of silly fun this is a great book for you. Please don't read it expecting a book you can impress Harvard with though, this is not a dusty tome, treat it like the book it is and toss it in your duffle bag or beach bag and take it with you and enjoy it.

I'm a huge BC fan and I thought his first book was great, I actually laughed out loud multiple times while reading it (which looks kind of weird on an airplane). This one misses the mark completely. As a made up account of making a movie, it fails completely. The story and events are rediculously not plausible or funny. He should stick to non-fiction.

It hurts me to write this review. I love Bruce Campbell. Not in the fanatical way that makes everything he touches golden (that esteem goes to Christopher Walken), but in a prideful way because "I get this guy's humor and appeal" kinda thing.

First off this book is extremely short and the font size is HUGE. This has a few advantages and drawbacks. The book reads quickly, which is good because it's bad and you want it to be over. It's easy to read on the treadmill which is good but it's embarrassing to read on the subway because people think you're reading about how to "make love" from a book geared toward the newly literate.

Next - It's not funny. It is a bit in the beginning but when you realize that the format is just a series of lame, over-the-top situations it gets boring by word count 112 (which is on page 45 *wink*)

Finally - you end up not liking Bruce Campbell. Yes, you're pissed he wrote this drivel but more so for taking away the spunk and wit he earned from If Chins Could Kill.

So there you have it. I'll jump to watch any movie you're in Bruce, but I'll think twice when I see your name on a dust jacket.
