Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
hwg1957-102-265704 A spoof of 'Silence Of The Lambs' and 'Psycho' mainly with other film references thrown into the mix "Silence of The Hams'' is generally not that funny and any fan of the parody genre could write the feeble script in their sleep. The jokes pile up but never amount to anything decent. The cast, and it's a talented cast, do their best with the material but even at only 81 minutes it is a chore to sit through. One felt sorry for the actors. Martin Balsam reprising a similar role from 'Psycho' utters the line,"I feel like I've done this before." The whole film felt like that.
Sandcooler Damn. I find THIS funny? I must admit I'm really disappointed in myself, but oh well. "Silence Of The Hams" never even comes close to being well-written or well-directed, and like many spoofs it has a fair share of total groaners. I mean, we're talking about the kind of movie here that names a Hannibal Lecter spoof Dr.Animal Cannibal Pizza. I can barely comprehend how devastatingly witless that joke truly is. And then later a Norman Bates copy shows up and his name turns out to be, God help us all, Antonio Motel. And instead of Sharon Stone, there's...Sharon Bone. These makers really do not like overtime. Somehow though, the movie still has a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, probably because writer/director/star Ezio Greggio got a lot of inspiration from "Naked Gun". The entire script feels like Frank Drebin could walk in any second, the dialogues are crammed with all kinds of stupid misunderstandings. I also very much liked Antonio's narration, which usually provides the biggest laughs of them all. If you turn of your brain completely, this movie is great. If you don't: courage.
excalibur433629 With 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.
Zach545 I didn't think that this movie was horrible. I thought that the movie maker really didn't care if it was a "direct spoof" of those movies, but I think he more wanted to make just a funny movie.WHY !!!
