I’ve not seen “Empire of the Ants”, but I can imagine it is pretty bad. I did rent “The World According to Garp” on video some years after it was in the theatre. Not completely and thoroughly bad, but I’m sure you’d agree it was disappointing in many instances. It was sort of like “Class” as it was something as a 12 or 13 year old, I wanted to see it when it first came out, but was a tad to young to be allowed, lol.
“Disappointing” is the perfect word to describe “World According to Garp.”
