... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreAs bad as this film may be at least it's not a Wayans travesty. The movie seems to have its own rhythm where you think it's the worst thing ever made and then one line, or cameo, will redeem it and you're pulled back in. The summary line of this review is an example.Yes, 'the lady in blue' line is incredibly lame and the visual gags, such as the orchestra playing the score, are clichéd but the film has a reckless charm and Dom DeLuise can't help but be great in anything he does. I'd recommend this to no one in particular. Perhaps, if like me, you were ill in bed and the remote control was out of reach and you were too weak to call for help then watch this film.
... View MoreWith Dr. Phil breathing down my neck my belated giggle was a vision of Dom DeLuise saying something about flava beans.The people of my beloved Brockville take great delight in telling me that this film cannot be ordered without actually traveling to Hollywood and getting a map of the star's houses and working from there. But,...now I have half a novel written (comedy) but the computer I am using now,..purchased from a radical shi ite Moslem has a habit of eating my pages up and etc.etc.If and/or when I feel down I can always remember Dom's face in delight saying etc.etc. The film was an enormous relief,...it made me feel vindicated compared to the original. I will send my manuscript as soon as I can finish it.This movie is the second favourite I have ever seen next to Cider House Rules. I am fifty six years young and I've seen a lot of film.

Some scenes can be predicted, some catch you off guard, mostly in between and great. Although, they're not jokes to make you think, no 15 seconds go by without something being thrown at you to at least amuse. Keep in mind many of the other commentors claiming otherwise may still watch reruns of square pegs and think it is funny, ughh.
... View MoreThis movies cover leads you to believe that it is a spoof of Silence of the Lambs, but the movie itself is more of a spoof of Psycho. It has a few good jokes here and there, but for the most part it is the same old gags. That is the case with most spoofs though, dumb joke after dumb joke with a gem scattered here and there. Dom Deleuise plays the Hannibal type character and that is one of the mistakes of the movie. This may be a spoof, but you still need someone with a Hopkins like demeanor. The guy who did Hannibal in "Loaded Weapon 1" was much better. Billy Zane is okay in his role as Joe Dee Foster and there are some others who do all right as well. Though it seems that every spoof has to have a cameo by someone who isn't and never has been a real star. Usually, it is Hulk Hogan or Dr. Joyce Brothers...in this one it is Rip Taylor and Bubba Smith. Is there some rule that says you have to have a cameo from one of these people if you are making a spoof? Though I thought the one scene with John Astin running up behind Billy in the bowling alley was funny...I don't know why.
