Maddox Mission said it best,

15 minutes into the movie I wanted to watch a movie on my JVC player, wearing converse while drinking some ovalteen as I got into my Audi.

the movie was one product placement after another.

That movie stands out in my mind as the most egregious product placement I've ever seen. The plot grinds to a halt for the protagonist to talk about a specific product for absolutely no reason.

The parody in Wayne's World was less awful!

Little, yellow different better…
