Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply A Masterpiece

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

you have to have a sense of humor and see the humor in the movie. i laughed till i cried while watching this movie. i have it on VHS and watch it when i need a laugh. i have had my friends watch it as well and some of the lines are great. like hoover two speed. it makes people laugh. and then they ask where did i hear that line and i tell them big man on campus. i hope the ones who do choose to watch it, will watch it with the silliness it was intended to be watched with. let yourself laugh. laughter is a great way to let the stress of the day evaporate.i think when william katz wrote the movie it was done with tongue in cheek humor and as he plays the hunch back he would have to have one.a sense of humor i mean. so to all of you i hope you enjoy it.

I first saw this film when my teenagers were small, we all loved it and to this day we still quote from it, people think we are mad as no-one has seen it! I have searched everywhere for this film, I thought that good old Sky TV would repeat it again but no and the video we had was recorded over so I was over the moon when I found a copy of the video on EBay, I am awaiting delivery as we speak!Thank God for the internet, now I can surprise my kids and show my little one (she is 7) and introduce her to Bob Maloogalooga etc.I even went so far as to have a pet cat called mooka and a rat called camoula. The funniest and yes daftest film I have ever seen, but I LOVE IT!

I saw this movie years ago, by accident, on Sky movies and taped it the next time it was shown. Nobody I had ever asked about it had heard of it and soon my videotape was doing the rounds and not one person who had borrowed it didn't agree that it was extremely funny.Alan Katz is hilarious as Bob the hunchback and all the other actors do an adequate job in supporting his character.There are some classic lines in there that you will find yourself reciting to the other members of your family & friends who have seen it.I'm not going to write a synopsis of the movie because there are already plenty of them on here, I just want to say that if you EVER get a chance to see this movie, then jump at it, and if the studios have any sense at all and release this on DVD one day, then buy it. You won't be sorry.

First, this is a favorite movie of mine. I do love watching it, but NOT for any cerebral reason whatsoever. My son likes it similarly, but the females in the family dread when it comes on TV. So many of the lines in the movie just seem to be repeated for a week or so afterwards, as my son and I amuse ourselves.While I don't recommend beer for the younger ones, watching the opening credits to this movie with the first beer almost completely in is a great start. The rest of the time (in moderation) is just simply going to be fun. This is NOT "Saving Private Ryan".The sad thing about this movie, is that aside from the writer/star, Allan Katz, all other performances are completely forgettable. This is a movie written by, and for, the star to perform in. Tom Skerrit and Cindy Williams try hard ... but they just don't have the lines. Nor does anyone else for that matter. Everyone is a straight man for Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga. You can easily understand why this was not an Academy Award contender.That said ... there is some really funny stuff here. If you don't take yourself too seriously, you too may be able to simply laugh your butt off watching this. And if you also have a "stupid movie" collaborator like I do with my 16 year old son, why then you can double your fun!
