I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreBest movie of this year hands down!
... View MoreA lot of fun.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreThere are a lot great silly spoof movies out there. Johnny Dangerously isn't one of them. With names like Danny Devito, Weird Al, and Michael Keaton, I was expecting to at least laugh a few times but I found myself cringing more than anything. The jokes aren't over the top enough and the worst "jokes" repeat themselves to make the experience even worse. I find myself confused on the tone of this movie as parts of it seemed aimed towards adults and other parts exclusively for children under 10. If you think bad accents, cartoon like physics, and repeated jokes for 10 year olds are hilarious, then Johnny Dangerously is for you.
... View MoreSet in the 1930s, an honest, goodhearted man (Michael Keaton) is forced to turn to a life of crime to finance his neurotic mother's skyrocketing medical bills.This was Amy Heckerling's follow-up to "Fast Times at Ridgmont High", and probably not the hard-hitting film people expected out of her. But too bad, because this is gem in its own right. Some have called the humor hit and miss (and that is not completely unfair), but the hits are particularly good. Keaton's Cagney impression is great.Michael Keaton in general was strong throughout the 1980s, and hopefully with his Oscar boost ("Birdman") people will start to re-appreciate his career. Lots of winners in there, and "Johnny Dangerously" is one of them.
... View MoreIf you like Naked gun" you probably will like "Johnny Dangerously" . It's much in the style of Nielsen's movie . Jokes are flying fast and there is plenty of them . I especially like the ones making fun of the forth wall.Michael Keaton in my opinion tries kinda too hard in his role , but he's not bad . It was good to see Peter Boyle and Danny De Vito . Joe Piscopo in my opinion gives the best performance of the movie as the nasty rival of Johnny.The movie is short and moves fast forward . It's a good movie for Sunday afternoon . It would be a waste of money to see it in cinema , but if it appear in TV you could give it a try . It's entertaining while it lasts and forgettable the very next day . Still it's a almost decent popcorn movie to kill time. I give it 3/10.
... View MoreReading over all the great quotes from this movie, I found myself laughing out loud and wondering why I had rated Johnny Dangerously so mediocre-ly after the last time I'd seen it a few years ago.Than I actually watched it again and remembered. Yes, this film has lots of memorable lines and a few funny scenes. But due to many dead spots and comedic bits that just don't click, it doesn't work as a consistently enjoyable whole.There's a tipping point for this kind of movie, a percentage of rapid fire jokes that have to work so that you can forget the ones that don't. Airplane succeeds, Airplane 2 doesn't. Johnny Dangerously comes close, but doesn't quite make it.I must admit, tho, it's still pretty farkin' enjoyable watching Michael Keaton hamming it up playing a role he was born to play.
