Hard to believe they did not try to make a stinker.

Anyone got any opinions on this one?

I have none at all, except that now I'm shocked to discover
that the bird effects were apparently the way the movie actually is
and not a comically inept superimposition done by Rifftrax Inc for
promotional purposes. Although I can't believe that bird effects
that awful aren't done in order to do self-consciously awful special
effects.

If I don't reply to this Joseph Nebus post, the terroists win.

Everything I've seen and read about director James Nguyen indicates that he
is at Ed Wood-levels of oblivious talentlessness. So believe that Nguyen put
in those effects with 100% earnestness.

That's a really terrifying prospect, particularly considering
that the Internet makes it awfully easy to get feedback from your
viewers at home. On the other hand, the Cherry Sisters apparently
bought the story that it was just envious other acts who started all
the booing and tossing of fruits and hissing whenever they performed.
(And if not for the Cherry Sisters, would it be so safe to make fun of
stuff online?)
