Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

blatherskitenoir You have a family of decrepit, inbred freaks, rotting in a hellish kingdom of trash they rule over with arbitrarily insane cruelty as they capture unsuspecting passer-throughs in increasingly complex traps made from garbage and deadly, mechanical ingenuity. The perfect premise for a disturbing slasher flick in a demented carnival of horror.But...this effed up situation is ruined by slapstick, bawdy humor, and Chevy Chase's irritatingly dry, caustic snark that just makes you want to smack him.The two genres are not mixed effectively, and the entire movie comes across as disjointed, bizarre, and just not that well done. The different comedic styles of Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy do not meld with each other, let alone the horror situation, and none of the actors have chemistry together.It certainly is the only movie really like it, and may be worth watching based on the strange factor alone. Fun to watch in a group and heckle, those who are fans of The Room, Rocky Horror, Trolls, and similarly Bad 'cult' movies may find another weird film to worship in Nothing But Trouble.

Ziglet_mir The majority of reviewers and people are wrong on this one by several miles.Talk about a fever dream. Or if David Lynch made his own wacky version of Beetlejuice meets Planes, Trains and Automobiles meets Deliverance. Sure, there were funny moments from a film that has nothing but comedians in it, however, there are moments that take what is bizarre and goes seven steps further. I think all of us have heard and seen of horror turning into comedy, but in my experience it has been very rare to find comedy turn into horror... and done excellently. I understand why so many people don't like it, and apparently Siskel hated it too, but this isn't a poorly made film. Dan Aykroyd proves he has some directing chops by creating a goofy yet horrifying landscape in the Pennsylvannian/NJ/NY back roads. We always choose to judge a movie by how good it makes us feel, while we think we are in for a comedy here with Nothing But Trouble we are deeply mistaken, and I think plenty of people rate this film so low because they expected much differently. People who hate this movie I can guarantee feel the same way I do now after watching it. They feel uncomfortable; unsure of what they just watched and can't get the disturbing images of some of the characters out of their heads (shout out to you Bobo and Lil' Dubbel). It's like being in a world you wish never existed; like I said before a nightmarish fever dream that continually gets more surreal as the movie goes on.Chevy Chase proves to be a fantastic straight man in an absurd world. Aykroyd and my man John Candy pulling in double duty for the most terrifying roles in what must be ages, because let's face it, I never thought I'd be saying either of those two would play anything terrifying. Aykroyd takes control of the screen as does Candy when scenes call for their presence. Demi Moore is solid as Chase's romance interest, and Taylor Negron (very over the top) is great in his small role.If you love dark comedies or even slightly enjoy them, this is for you but as many people on the handful of reviews I've already seen have said: this makes "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Deathtrap" and "Heathers" seem like Peewee's Playhouse. The only other dark comedy that has made me feel even this closely unsettled is "Very Bad Things" (1998). The last film in general that has affected me anywhere close to this unsettled was probably "Come and See" (1985), but this my friends, this film takes the cake.Another comment I read off of YouTUbe which summed this film up completely was: "I used to think Stephen King was out of his mind, but Aykroyd just speedballed him."This movie gets a high rating from me, near shy of a perfect score for an amazing cast, getting something I was completely not asking for (in the best way), and having so many lucid feelings after watching something I thought people had pinned correctly as cinematic garbage.

richspenc I'd give this horrible movie a zero if the rating numbers allowed me to. This movie was sickening, perverse, evil, and was total putrescense. I cannot believe the terrific, rave reviews for this movie. I also saw a number of other awful reviews too, so I guess my thoughts on this film are not alone."Nothing but trouble" was awful and sickening. It star Chevy Chase and Demi Moore who decide to go to Atlantic city for the weekend. Two other Spanish colleagues of thiers, but not quite friends, invite themselves againced Cheve's will to tag along last minute. On route, the guy colleague Randy, an arrogant jerk, persuades Cheve to take a shortcut and also to speed. Randy gets pressuring about it. "Come on man, you have a BMW, act like it!" Then they drive through a mysterious dusty looking ghost town. While passing through it, Cheve unknowingly runs a stop sign. Cop John Candy sees this and starts pursuing them. When he stops them, he orders them to follow him. They follow him into a very strange and erie area and up to an ancient looking dilapidated creepy old house. Inside the house is even creepier. It's filthy, cluttered, and mothball eaten with bizarre looking gadgets and accessories.Then they meet the judge. From this point onward in the film is nightmarishly horrible. The part of the film leading up to this point was not too good itself, but now the film turned dreadful, disgusting, and scary. But not scary in a good horror movie way. Scary in a sick, vomit inducing, mentally traumatizing way. The judge, played by Dan Aykroyd, is one sick, evil, disgusting thing. He sends many of his "defendants" onto a conveyor belt which carries them into a flesh stripping, murderous machine called bonestripper. The machine even shows bones being shot out of it after people were sucked into it. There are other freaky, scary traps in the house too. Then there's the creatures of the house itself. The Judge's nose looks very much like something you really don't want to see on a man's face, and that image itself has giving me nightmares and literally made me vomit, literally! Then the judge can also pull parts of his body off and on again. Then there's these two hideous freak fat creatures that live right outside the house in the dumpyard. Then there's the moat which is literally raw sewage. Then there's the hotdogs the judge forces his guests to eat for dinner. And the hot dogs are made of, well I'll just say too words. Bonestripper. Cannibalism. This was the most sickning, evil, revolting, perverse, horrible, dreadful movie I've ever seen.

bomexsaturn I was born and raised in eastern Pennsylvania. Watching this movie, I know exactly where the inspiration came from. It is basically a caricature of an old "coal town" in Pennsylvania. The honorable reeve is identical to the stereotypical "pennsylvania dutch man". If you are from PA, you will love the film. If you are from somewhere else, this movie will show you why you should never move here. It's all about the details in this film. The local meat markets sell garbage that is similar to the hot dogs, and the junk all over the yard is another PA dutch characteristic. Check this movie out, and go into it with an open mind.
