Movie d< Movie Review = By BRIAN SHELTON Staff Writer It was filmed under the moniker "Valkenvania," and it's advertised with the name Nothing but Trouble,, but what this flick should be called is Nothing but Boring, Nothing but Wretched, or Nothing but Absolute Warthog Puke. Or better yet, just call it No- , thing. That would not only serve as a title but describe 1) how many things are funny about this movie, 2) how much Dan Ackroyd knows about directing (this is Ackroyd's : directorial debut), and 3) how ' much money this turkey will make. \ Gamec( 3 V 1.)
