I love this movie so much
... View MoreWow! Such a good movie.
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreI caught this movie one sunny sunday afternoon ( why do people always watch tv on dreary ones, i wonder ) with the intent of giving it some glances while doing something else. The plot, as amusing as it may be, seemed too weak to sit through doing nothing. I was right. The modern presentation of the underworld is just silly, the characters as flat as roadkill & the ending particularly weak because it had but to string the twists together. Some points make this watchable : Robert Towsend(though he's most hindered by his lines), the metamorpfosis tricks played on the Kid, and the joke during the end credits - predictable within 4 seconds of course, but still a nice effort.
... View MoreWhen i saw it,i like it because first of all,its basically a story about a guy that is a jerk.I love it,overall,Definitely go and see this movie,it will inspire you and captivate your eyes to the screen,lets say its just like License to drive(1988)the guy-Josh Zuckerman plays Brendan H Willy so well as well as Brendan being cool.If you haven't seen this movie,go and see it right away.I admit most girls would be jealous of Twyla day in the movie,i mean all the girls who starred as her friends were.Good Quotes my favorite-Are your eyes bothering you?because they are killing me.Go and see it,you will be surprised,how fascinating everything evolves around Brendan,and then everything changes.Spectacular.
... View Morei'm not sure why i watched this movie. something about Morgan Fairchild and Gregory Hines as a comic duo should have told me right away that this was disastrous, but it was worth watching for one reason and one reason alone. it is without a doubt the worst made for tv movie ever made. and you can bet your ass that that's saying something. and i know what you're thinking. this asshole hasn't seen every mftvm ever made, how does he know it's the worst. WELL, you jerk, i'll tell you why. i have a theory that made for tv movies were invented for the sole purpose of spreading propaganda. there's no art here. HBO might be the only example of "attempted" art, but the only mftvm's you'll see outside of home box office are cheesey, tear-jerkers. like a 2 hour version of "lifestories: families in crisis" except about abortion and drugs and crazy boyfriends who club your daughters with chopping blocks. if anyone is familiar with the story of Faust, you'll know that it's very dark and gothic. the story is so bad it's almost a parody. first of all, to even watch this film without gagging you have to consider it possible for a goofy-looking, short, shrimpy nerd can attain popularity and schoolyard supremacy by simply slicking up his hair and losing the glasses. yeah, i know what you're thinking, but bear with me here. that presents the least of my problems with the film. the real problem here is that none of these characters are real! the mother constantly sobbing when she realizes that the actor Joe Mantegna is married and therefore her son can't sell his soul to the devil is funny for about three billionths of a second. when she doesn't stop you start to wonder. hey...i'd like to f*** nicole kidman. but i never will. why am i crying?!!?! it makes no goddamn sense. and the ending is actually a rip off of shrek. the boy who tried to hard to earn some girl named Twyla's approval discovers that she sold her soul to the devil for the same reason. all of a sudden everybody's selling their soul to the devil. did i mention that gregory hines is one of the worst actors of all time. no? he is. he makes morgan fairchild look like meryl streep. this review is sort of running out of steam. in closing i take solace in the fact that there isn't a studio in the world that would fund this project. thank you and have a wonderful day.
... View MoreThe legend of Faust & his selling of his soul to the Devil has been made many,many times into one film or another. This time it is High School students turn to make that dreaded pact. All the usual elements of the legend are present. This version is an out & out comedic one. Robert Townsend & Morgan Fairchild are the emissaries from hades. Josh Zuckerman is our Faust this time out, He is a very fine young actor & is very adept in comedy. The film is very silly in spots, but young Josh, makes it watchable. The production is of the TV variety & the acting by all is good.rating **1/2 67/100 points IMDB 6
