Memorable, crazy movie

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Best movie ever!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This 1987 comedy stars The Fat Boys, Ralph Bellamy and Anthony Geary. This focuses on Mark, Kool and Buffy (The Fat Boys), 3 pals from Brooklyn who have fun and get into mischief. Soon, they're hired to be the new orderlies of wealthy, ill man, Albert (Bellamy) by his despicable nephew, Winslow (Geary) who seeks his fortune. The boys get off to a bit of rough start, but Albert eventually befriends them and learns of Winslow's plans. I grew up watching this and always thought it was amusing. The Fat Boys are aren't bad in it, but somewhat cheesy and were basically like "The 3 Stooges" with their slapstick humor. I recommend this.

The Fat Boys are an American Hip Hop trio from Brooklyn, New York City that star in this epically hilarious film. It's like The Three Stooges meets rap. I still love this movie. Three chumps hired to take care of a super rich guy whose health is on the decline. They hapless trio luck into a cure as the bungle up their job and lose his medication. The Bungling idiots are very endearing, and as such they become friends with the eccentric Albert and as he gets better they get to enjoy the good life with him. The only problem is the douche bag of a nephew needs hams to kick the bucket to pay off his debts to a drug dealing loan shark. Through a series of comically failed attempts and bad jokes makes this movie hilarious. A fun family goof ball movie…. Watch it and enjoy

As you may know, comedy is the most difficult art form of all. To make people laugh, all people, young, old, white, Asian or black, male and female, is truly the finest art form. This movie pulls it off. You have some over weight young black orderlies who can not only laugh at themselves, but make you laugh with every line, every nuance and subtle gesture they conjure up in this movie. Ralph Bellamy plays the consummate straight guy and doesn't miss a beat, esp. at his age. My 15 year old son watched it once and we split our sides laughing. My son is 30 now and he asked me if I wanted to watch that movie with him again. "Yeah" I said. We could use more laughs. We could use more young actor/comedians, especially ones from our own minority groups here in the good ol' USA. This is a funny movie and its probably more hilarious the second time around.

From the man who brought you Krush Groove and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, comes a movie starring three overweight rappers playing three overweight orderlies. Not surprisingly, it's the scenes where they are eating or rapping that they seem most at home. It's not that the movie is the embarrassing mess that Pepper's is, but there isn't anything that stands out. Then, there are annoying fat jokes and the most tired cliché of the genre, a white man spouting slang. Needless to say, he doesn't do it well. Perfect example, The Fat Boys ride horses for the first time. What happens? Two fall off and the third only has to look at his horse before it has a heart attack. That's whack.
