Not sure just how to describe this movie. It is a comedy, very low budget, but the writing is decent. The actors are very campy (intentionally), and most of them are very good at the delivery. It's supposed to be camp and silly and it is. It was also entertaining due to most of the actors delivering their lines with just enough campy flair. The characters are appealing and this could be shown at a school or church without offending anyone. Children could watch this and find it funny. Adults could still be entertained by it. Not the greatest movie ever, but the acting is mostly solid and the film is entertaining. If you like B movies that are G rated, this will entertain you. If not, then you might want to pass on it.

I lived through this, and, other than some software patches that were needed, it was much ado about something that could be fixed easily enough. They are showing the fringes of people that let themselves be swayed by doomsday messages. Most people that I knew at the time weren't too concerned. They knew nothing catastrophic would happen and they knew the software patches were being handled. Y2K was akin to the Mayan Calendar scare of 2012. You either believed it and waited for the end or you went on with your life as usual because you knew it was the media overblown fear mongering pushing the doom and gloom. It isn't very accurate, but it's not entirely wrong.
