A lot funnier than might be expected.......2006-12-18
The opening skit "Apartment Victim" with Arsenio Hall is pure slapstick--not my favorite comedy type but for some reason I found it hilarious. I just cracked up on all the mishaps and the great timing by Arsenio and the cameras. The way the video cassette shoots back out of the player and hits him and knocks him over was just so funny; and the way the TV blows up when he hits the remote was a crack up. Which reminds me, Confucius says "Woman who flies upside down has hairy..." [I censored these last two words for the benefit of sensitive Amazon readers. Discerning readers will be able to figure out the last two words by re-reading the previous sentence.]
(Sorry about that.)
Anyway, I also liked David Alan Grier as Don (No Soul) Simmons in the segment "Blacks without Soul." The Laurence Welk way he sang the Broadway show type tunes was just a riot. I also liked the skit featuring Rosanna Arquette, "Two I.D.'s" in which she takes the prospective date's credit cards and two forms of ID to investigate what kind of guy he is on a date.
I also kind of liked the comedic roast at the wake in "Roast your loved one." Kind of. The jokes ranged from funny but old to lame-o.
The overall shtick of this being a TV late night movie show was also good--the idea, anyway. The featured movie "Amazon Women on the Moon" (actually this was a skit too; no such movie exists although one wonders why), which spoofs 50s cheapo sci-fi flicks was so, so very bad as to almost be campy--but not quite. It was frankly just bad bad, and a little on the very cognitively challenged side, that is to say, dumb.
Overall this was a lot funnier than might be expected, at least for me, but then again I have actually watched most of the episodes of "Married with Children" although I would never admit it.
Amusing and memorable.......2006-04-11
This is NOT to everyone's taste! This film is silly and disjointed, but if you don't mind a bit of sillyness, then give this film a go.
There is an almost complete lack of a plot, with various sketches from a number of actors, all loosely centered around a spoof sci-fi b-movie. Very much like Kentucky Fried Movie.
The start of the film has to be one of the best bits of slapstick comedy I have seen.
