Good concept, poorly executed.
... View MoreIt’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
... View MoreOne of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreThe funniest thing about this movie are the phony glowing reviews written here at IMDb. They have obviously been written by the writer/director (or possibly his mother) of this abortion of a movie. This movie was so bad it inspired me to waste time reading through this drivel and adding my own comments. How embarrassing for the great cast to be associated with this dog of a movie. Is it possible this was written and directed by a couple of 9 year old boys? That would explain a lot of the fear-of-women humor. What's really impressive - or depressing, you choose - is that this woofer raised enough money to get made and attract an amazing cast. It strives for the inspired silliness of Airplane but falls far of its mark. I think the rock bottom was the Siamese twins business.
... View MoreDanny A. is no comic master and I should have learned that from "Hudson Hawk." No, in a flick like this he's more into yukking it up on his own end, and not the audience. Laughing all the way to the bank would be my guess.I wasn't kidding, 15 minutes was all I could invest in this crap, and the only other movie I had left to watch was a foreign film that looked riskier. It wasn't, thus, a low-budget horror offering from New Zealand beats Danny A. and company. It wasn't even close. Danny! Stick with mob movies with lots of blood. There's still time. Avoid comedy, Dan.
... View MoreI rented this film on the advice of a friend, who usually makes me regret listening to him. Not this time. Maybe it was the mood I was in but it just plain made me laugh. It started out crazy and ended nicely, maybe a little too cute.The lines were great. Danny Aiello delivered them with the timing of an old Catskill comic. T.R. Knight played the son. My friend didn't even tell me he was in it. I found out when I got the box. TR played the nerdy loser in away that he wasn't so much nerdy but just had a continual run of bad luck. It was great to see Barbara Feldon again. She looks great and still has the impeccable timing she had on Get Smart. She delivers material effortlessly and maybe that's why she can make the absurd work so well.It's strange Indy film, stranger than most in that it's in part very commercial, but yet at the same time off beat enough that you wouldn't think it would be. I can see this film getting more recognition as the years go bye. It's a winner and for once my friend was right.
... View MoreIt's just plan fun. Nothing deep. Nothing profound. Nothing controversial, well maybe one thing, a sight gag but I won't get into that here.This is an coming of age story that takes a familiar trail but the the twists and turns in the form of odd ball characters make this enjoyable ride full of strange treats.TR Knight from Grey's Anatomy plays the lead, which by the look of him was shot before the TV. It's almost like his character George started here and grew into what it has become on the TV show. His death bed ridden father is played by Danny Aiello, who hams it up as an old time comic, who despite his failing health can't stop laughing at his own jokes. Mario Cantone is great as a want to be at one time actor, who runs an actors retirement home and take his job very seriously in a very funny way. The story is about a kid trying to please his father but in don't so he's really pleasing himself. And it seems like he was the last to know. Sabrina Loydd plays his love interest and they seem to fit better than the matches they made for him on Grey's anatomy. If you're looking for a movie to feel good about and laugh at without getting a bombarded by profanity and body functions jokes than this is your baby. Which is what the movie is really all about.
