Video Game Month ends with a bang--or a thwomp rather--with Super Mario Brothers.
At this point, we've been disappointed so many times that we should be used to it, but this movie takes the cake. With a weird storyline that doesn't make a lot of sense, a lot of talk about dinosaurs and "de-evolution," and Princess Peach's notable absence, SMB is so unlike its source material that Bob Haskins has said that it wasn't until weeks into production that he realized his character was the same as Nintendo's iconic Mario. Though, to be fair, he has also admitted to being drunk the whole time.
