Every time I watch a Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker-style spoof, I wonder why it isn't wall-to-wall with gags. Silly nonsequiturs, visual stunts, crap like that. Like Airplane or (the vastly underrated) Fatal Instinct. It's no fault of the actors--in fact, Leslie Nielsen does a dead-on parody of Max von Sydow in The Exorcist--but partway through its run, Repossessed forgets it's a goofy movie, aims for satire, and falls really flat. Need I say more?

One of the worst movies I've seen. Rarely funny, Repossessed tries way too hard and makes fun of so many things that none of the jokes are really hilarious. It's slow in the middle, particularly during the gym scene, and the end isn't very funny either. While it's cute to see religious leaders playing rock and roll, the movie just doesn't work.
