Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
delprestondelpreston Thank God for HBO playing this movie over and over in their infancy. My brother and I saw this hundreds of times, memorized most every line, and wore out the VHS tape we had of it. It's one that just grows on you. At first, yes, it's admittedly horrendous. Though throw that stuff aside and it comes out as a great comedy with slap-stick characters in goofball situations. Come on Meat Loaf as Scum and Governator as the gym instructor. But Stuart Selsome, what typifies the 70s better than his character.Great for quotable one liners, and very few people that actually know of or remember this movie. Makes for great coversation.
ZR RIFLE Saw this in the theater at a sneak preview, and even after all these years, I recall it was one of the most awful movies I've ever seen. It's one of those films that say, "Hey, we did this gag or told this joke - so you're supposed to laugh." The only person who constantly laughed in the theater was this huge, obese lady sitting by herself eating a 10-gallon bucket of popcorn. At least someone enjoyed it.A total ripoff of Stanley Kramer's "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Watch that instead.Take my advice: don't waste 2 hours of your life sitting through this #$@%!.
alexshelli2 I don't know what the rest of you think, but if you grew up in the 70's and early eighties you'll love this movie!!! Don't listen to the idiots who don't know COMEDY!!! IT IS FUNNY!!! ALL OF IT!!! Especially when James CoCo has to put on the panty hose over his head as a disguise when they are robbing the convenient store!!! HILARIOUS!!! There are so many funny parts in this movie I can't type all night to mention! BUY IT! You'll love it. IT IS JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT!! This isn't Gladiator!!! It is supposed to be silly, it's a comedy, STUPID!!!:-)
Stu-42 I like a wide variety of movies and films definitely don't have to be new, slick or technically advanced for me to like them. In that spirit I went in to this thinking I might be in for a good time with all those great people in it that I've liked in so many other movies. Cleavon Little, James Coco, Cloris Leachman and especially Ruth Gordon figured to be very entertaining. Well, they weren't. Scene after scene of agonizingly bad acting, directing, script and whatever else you can name. Mr. Little or Mr. Mulligan who some seemed to have enjoyed did nothing for me here. Even the great Ms. Gordon who did her best couldn't escape from the horribly awkward feeling pervading this turkey. I kept waiting for the one memorable cameo that just never materialized. The closest that came was Arnold's early appearance as a trainer. It was actually stunning although not that amusing to see how long this crew could keep it up without just giving up. Unfortunately it went on for seemingly forever and the only break was that the rental copy I found had a 30 second patch where it blanked out. I am not kidding in the slightest when I say the static on the screen was a welcome change. I have seen movies more offensive, more unpleasant and more boring, but I don't think I've ever seen a movie that was as big a mess as this flop. So shockingly bad I gave it a 2 instead of a 1.
