You ought to be rooting for Kate and Chloe; instead youre rooting for the end credits.

Ill advised and amateurishly executed, Ass Backwards begins with a passably funny concept and runs it into the ground within 20 minutes.

The road adventures they have along the way arent funny, and once they reach the pageant, the comic payoff youre hoping for never materializes.

The movie is a tight 86 minutes, including credits, but while it doesnt lag, its also pretty tepid, lacking any spring in its step. (

Director Chris Nelsons movie starts promisingly enough, but the buoyant mood deflates when its true colors are revealed.
