So much average
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
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.
"Who is Ezio Greggio and how does he know all those terrible things about me?" That's what the famous names who agreed to appear in this movie must have thought - how else can you explain their appearances? (the lowest point must be Martin Balsam trashing the memories of his own role in "Psycho"). It's probably the worst of all the 1990s "Naked Gun"-type spoofs. Greggio has certainly seen a lot of movies in his life, that much is clear; that doesn't mean he has anything funny to say about them, however. The gags are nearly all unoriginal and derivative. Billy Zane give it his best shot but he is clearly uncomfortable in the Leslie Nielsen role; Dom De Luise's funny moments are all in the trailer; Joanna Pacula and Charlene Tilton are the only possible reasons to see the film, but they are not reasons enough. * out of 4.
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.
This is the best comedy in the history of film!!! I´ve have seen this movie nearly 100 times and I still find new funny stuff every time i watch it! Every sentence is a joke! Got to go now! Let me give you some advice my son...SEE THIS MOVIE TODAY!!!
Amateur Hour dragged out to movie length. the cast are poor.the script is so bad Ed wood might of disowned it. The worst thing a comedy can be is not funny. But i didnt laugh once.The only time i was happy was when this rotten turkey had ended. 1 out of 10
