Best movie ever!
... View MoreAbsolutely the worst movie.
... View MoreTo all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreI wish people would watch this with an open mind. It may be a low budget movie but you need to look at the actors that are in it. Just sit back and enjoy the movie, not necessarily the plot. It was delightful especially to see all of the cameo appearances of great actors from days gone by. A good clean movie escape, without so many murders, car chases, explosions, drugs and over paid actors.I was just laughing at the old vaudeville comic stints and jokes. I truly enjoyed it. Maybe not one of the best movies ever made, definitely not the Worst!A little hidden gem!That I hope is played more often so others can enjoy it also. More people need to watch movies like movie goers would and not just like critics do....JUST ENJOY!
... View MoreI hoped the lazy, arch title would be deceptive. It isn't. The movie is a series of one-liners, improbable situations, and lackluster cameo appearances.The joke in "The Aristocrats" is said to be old. Hey, it can't be as old as some of the ones used here; and it's much funnier.Someone who had never seen The Dick Van Dyke TV show would be at a loss here. The stars are that show's delightful Rose Marie and the less delightful but reliably amusing Morey Amsterdam. Richard Deacon, also from the show, plays two roles.Typical of the ineptitude displayed throughout is the "Beatnik" party the primary characters attend. At it, clean-cut people dance in very square fashion to music with a bland sound that predates rock 'n' roll. This music actually sounds like the theme song to "The Munsters" TV show. That show was pretty lame but it had distinct characters. To show how really bad this is, by comparison to this exceptionally slapdash and unfunny movie, "The Munsters" seems like Restoration Comedy.
... View MoreOne of the weirder things I've seem on TV. Turner Classic Movies has been showing some rarely seen stuff lately and some of the movies are gems.I certainly wouldn't call this a gem by any means. I mainly turned it on just to see why I'd never heard of it before. First I thought I turned on TV Land by mistake. Most of the cast of The Dick Van Dyke Show is in this. I noticed there was no laugh track when Morey Amsterdan cracked a one liner and something seemed missing. That sent me to IMDb to investigate. I then watched simply because of the cameo appearances in the movie.The movie has a lot of sight gags and wise cracks. A bit like an over length 3 Stooges episode and it does have Moe Howard in one of his final screen appearances.
... View MoreThe (non-)title is a dead giveaway.This movie is notable for having its cast derived from the old Dick Van Dyke Show. Buddy, Sally, Mel, and Alan, they're all here, only this time they're not funny. We know the actors and actress are good, and their characters are tried and true. All we lack is a script. Don't worry, we'll think up a script after we start shooting.
