The movie was so bad.......this thread belongs in the NPR forum. 
No need to invest over an hour. If you watch these two clips you can say you saw the movie.
The lion speech was worth the price of the movie.

I'm not saying Jaws ia a cenematic Masterpiece, But bottom of the list of movies of all the time. Definatley a Lot better then weekend at Bernies. Just freaking shocking
PHJ best scenes
1 surprising wife after upsetting wife
2 the correct use of ni**a
3 Four balls off the table in 8ball
4 Hustling your wife's boss to get her a promotion
5 Getting your wife's boss coworker to invest in a money match.
Worst moments from PHJ
1 The construction set
2 The car dealership
3 Being used as bait for a bigger money match
4 Calling the wife after she is upset and wont answer the phone
5 Cafe scene with boys debating how natural a woman is

He was married the whole time?
The movie wasn't that bad.
Did you notice the movie listed is not "Jaws". The movie that got the review score of 0 was a different movie. It was the fourth(!) in the Jaws series.
Damning with faint praise. Very faint.
All those movies are better than the last 5 Fast and Furious movies, or Snakes on a Plane (really movie title, really), how about Lincoln Vampire Hunter? Hot Tub Time Machine. Howard the Duck is an Oscar nominee and more realistic compared to some crap people go see. PHJ is half of a good movie, and half of a good movie that got lost in some production and editing flaws. Some scenes were good and could have been expanded on, but were just glossed over very quickly. Guy hiring the pool hustler to do some fraud, could have been done longer and more interesting, like if he actually did it, then had a change of heart and got into a mess with the crooks having to pay them back with a pool hustle dump or something. Could have made his "friendship" with the drug guys a bit more fun and on-going. Just a bunch of things where put in for a scene, then ended and move on to next one.
Lion speech was the worst part of the movie
I do remember stopping by an actual pool room called "Pool Hall Junkies" in Salt Lake City years and years ago that was heavily themed on the movie (like posters of Mars, Walken, etc.). Looks like its gone now.
I don't remember the room being all that bad, but definitely had a weird vibe, much like SLC in general (to me at least).
