127: "Dan Aykroyd's Jowls Should Not Jiggle In Slow Motion" - Shortcut To Happiness (2003)

You've never heard of Shortcut To Happiness?  Maybe you know it as Sexy Devil or maybe you're more familiar with The Devil And Daniel Webster.  Whatever you call it, it is one of the worst made movies we've ever watched.  Alec Baldwin made his directorial debut with this updated take on the classic short story which turns poor farmer Jabez Stone who made a deal with the devil into a struggling novelist who humps the devil and gains success.  This is on par with The Room as to how poorly it is shot and edited.  Are you ready for some circle wipes and slow-mo?  Anthony Hopkins plays Daniel Webster, he's not a lawyer which would make sense as he defends Alec Baldwin in hell court at the end, he's a book publisher and, we think, an ancient demon hunter.  We watched this movie for Darrell Hammond but we got a surprise appearance by Amy Poehler and, as always, Big Fat Dan Aykroyd.  Enjoy!
