Dollman takes itself as seriously as its laughably bad premise. The presentation of the goofiness, however, is more of a hindrance than an enhancement. It winks at its own ludicrousness too often and too sloppily, resulting in a ham-fisted groanfest that would have been more entertaining had it focused on making us laugh at its straight-faced seriousness. Still, for a direct-to-video crapsack, it’s worth viewing just to see how Jackie Earle Haley spent his time between Bad News Bears and Watchmen.
