Must See Movie...

Good movie but grossly overrated

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Warning you must not watch this film alone. Take the company of Joel and his robots from MST3K. This movie is not for everyone only for those who watched IMDb bottom 100 and are currently watching all the MST3K movies. The season one movies were horrible and the riffing of them by the satellite of love were not great. The various fire puns like 'She's an old flame' and 'cooking with Barry' were among the funny riffs but some voice overs coincided with the character's in the movie and an incomprehensible mess is formed. Shelley Winters was in her 'Poseidon Adventures' form. Leslie Nielson was wasted in his role as mayor. An absolutely predictable film with an ending like any other film. The main characters are all intact except Shelley Winters of course.

Forget that Ed Wood has ever made the worst movie in history....this by far is the WORST. It's bad. Very very bad. Unbelievable that Henry Fonda or Shelly Winters even looked at the script let alone agreed to star in it. Did I mention how dreadful this movie is? I'm Canadian and I'm completely ashamed that this is a Canadian movie.

Hurting from pain delivered by this flick. It goes to show what happens when psychos don't get promoted. In some town, there are a lot of people. Crazy guy loses it and sets a power plant ablaze. Mayhem ensues. There's no good acting. I also still have trouble seeing Leslie Nielsen in a serious role. He always still comes out funny. The mom from Webster is in this. She does the most nasty CPR scene in movie history. Barry Newman plays an unfunny, dumb doctor. Not for those with faint of heart and the second half is an inferno of sheer torture. Funny moments are stunt people running around on fire.Stop...drop...and roll....away from this movie.

What can I say...were movies really this bad.Henry Fonda the great actor...what was he thinking when he agreed to be in this disasterous disaster movie.I won't bore you with the plot..the movie is bad enough without having to try to understand the intricat web of sub plots that exist.I have a few questions anyone who watches this movie might be able to answer me cause I sure couldn't figure them out.1) How did the entire city catch fire? 2) The hospital evacuation...why do they run out of oxygen? 3) I didn't think firemen would normally run into a burning building like they do in this movie with no oxygen? 4) What was the contraption that was used for CPR on the injured fireman? Look like a porno prop to meLeslie Nielsen was doing comedy even when he was doing serious drama. This movie is right out of the Naked Gun series. only problem is the actors take it all seriously.Susan Clark (aka Websters mum) plays the rich, trampy, heroine love interest for Barry Newman (who is this guy? what a chick magnet really?)I think my impression of the movie is coming through loud and clear. I love disaster movies usually, but god were all of the 1970's movies this bad?? Surely not....If you need a laugh watch this tripe if only to appreciate good movies when you watch them.
