... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreComedy made as sequel to famous horror The Exorcist. In original movie, in 1973 devil takes possession of girl named Reagan, while in Repossessed he takes the same person 17 years later, but here she is named Nancy. Linda Blair plays both roles, Nancy and Reagan... Nancy Reagan :D For her role in The Exorcist she got Golden Globe and Oscar nomination, while in her later performances she was nominated for the worst actress 6 times. Movie is full of typical Leslie Nielsen humor, references and parodies to everything and anything. To me, it was very entertaining and definitely worth watching more than original...........................................
... View MoreNielsen continues his foray into the spoof genre with this parody of the Exorcist and evangelist TV.Linda Blair parodies he role as Regan in the classic horror and plays Nancy (great Joke) in this. Remember when parodies and spoofs stopped being funny for a while? This was definitely one of them.The marketers of this must of known they were sitting on a dog of a movie, because the original one sheet is a total rip off of The Naked Gun, and I bet they hoped that people would be fooled into seeing it.How wrong they were.Jokes are used and recycled over and over, Blair, as pretty as she is, is really just trying to gain some sort of comeback by flogging her defining role over hot coals, and Nielsen does his schtick very lazily, even resorting to pulling faces at the camera at one point.The sight gags are really poor, as is the soundtrack, and the support is pretty bland also.I didn't laugh once during the film, nor did any of the sight gags catch my attention.Its a poor, poor effort.
... View MoreWith Repossessed, The Exorcist saga comes full circle. Linda Blair returns as a suburban housewife repossessed by the devil in the form of special effects leaving a television screen. Leslie Nielsen lends an aura of credibility to this spoof as the priest eventually summoned to once again do battle with the possessed Blair. Blair is actually much better in this film than she was in Exorcist II: The Heretic. A spoof of televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Baker is hilarious. Ned Beatty adds little to his characterization of Baker, but the actress playing Tammy Faye, Lana Schwab, is absolutely hilarious, especially with the dog Foo Foo. The film is full of sight gags galore, some were hilarious and some were groaners. Among the better gags were the "could you pull your dress down?" gag, the tire gag, and the sprinkler gag. The young kids with smart ass remarks has become a cliché in these films already. The ending is not very satisfying either. Several cameo appearances throughout the film keep things hopping, including Murray Langston, Robert Fuller, Jake Steinfeld, Army Archerd, exercise guru Jack Lalanne, Wally George, Jesse Ventura, Gene Okerlund, Ian Abercrombie, and the dynamic Julie Strain. *1/2 of 4 stars.
... View MoreLeslie Nielsen's career since he appeared in Airplane! has been pretty much a reprise of the same types of zany movies again and again and again. But the quality of these films varies so drastically, it's obvious he will "whore out his talent" for a buck. For every Naked Gun movie there's crap like Repossessed or Mr. Magoo. I sure wish he were more selective in what he did--does he really need the money THAT badly?! The movie is a comedy(?) about The Exorcist, though I think I found The Exorcist to be a lot funnier. Describing how bad and why it is so bad is difficult--just trust me that there's absolutely no humor to find anywhere--particularly when they break into a song and dance number. Why? Who knows--my guess is that they just ran out of jokes and decided to wing it by breaking into song. Avoid this movie at all costs!! And don't say you were not warned!
