| If I had to list my top 20 favorite comedies, this would have to be in that list somewhere. Lighthearted and funny, and the DVD contains a commentary track that had me laughing throughout. If you like this one, check out "Better Off Dead", also by Savage Steve Holland and starring John Cusack. |

| Holy cow, do I love this movie. "Look! The craziness!" This is one of those movies that played endlessly on HBO, and I remembered it quite fondly. One day I threw it in the VCR and surprised myself by laughing almost nonstop through the whole thing. Sure, it seems a cookie-cutter comedy from the eighties, and it is, but look! the craziness! The brilliance of the movie is how it's situations keep slowly escalating into pure comic insanity. Sure everybody remembers Bobcat Goldthwait rampaging in a Godzilla costume, but the seeds for the scene were presented about fifteen minutes ago and there was an uninterrupted continuity that took us from there to here. This is pretty amazing for a "cookie-cutter" comedy. Really, it's this sense of mayhem that keeps bringing me back to the movie. Mayhem. That's what I want out of comedies, and this is one of its epitomes. This and GREMLINS 2. But who cares about that? This movie brings the funny. What more could you ask for? No thanks to all the cute and fuzzy bunnies in the world. |

| This is one of the craziest movies I've ever seen, and in my opinion this movie is better than "Better Off Dead"(Savage Steve Holland's previous flick). This film stars the wonderful John Cusack as Hoops McCann, a struggling cartoonist who takes a trip to Nantucket to visit his relatives. Once there he meets an oddball group of characters. His cousin, George (Joel Murray--brother of Bill Murray) , is a simple-minded guy and the best looking one out of his group of nerdy friends. George's family is even crazier than his friends are, with a wacky grandmother and a sinister little sister and her flea-ridden dog. His uncle Frank is a virtual recluse who sits by the radio all day trying to win the same contest he's been trying to win for years. Ack Ack Raymond is the smallest guy out of the bunch and the wimpiest. Ack Ack's father is a gung-ho boyscout leader and ex-marine, thus there's a conflicting relationship between him and his father. Dont worry Ack Ack gets medieval later in the movie; this guy also played "Booger" on Revenge of the Nerds. Then theres the Stork twins, Clay and Egg Stork; the latter is played by Bobcat Goldthwait, you know, the guy from police academy who talks funny. These guys come up against Teddy Beckersted, a snobby young man, and his rich developer father, and their socialite friends. They are trying to take away the home of Casandra (Demi Moore), an aspiriing singer, so they can build their condos on the property. Throughout the movie these two groups are constantly pulling pranks on each other, that finally culminates in a regatta sail ship contest, in which the boys get their own boat and fix it up. Get ready for a funny surprise at the end of this race. At the same time Hoops develops a romance with Casandra. Add to this movie numerous interludes of bizarre cartoons with devilish animated bunny rabbits. This movie is very corny but very funny too. This is the type of movie you can just sit back to and enjoy all the wackiness. In my opinion Uncle Frank steals the show, especially at the end. Get ready to laugh your socks off! |

| This movie has been done over and over again, with different actors and by different directors, but the plot is stale and has gotten extremely boring. Don't bother with another cookie cutter movie of this kind.... buy something original or save your money! |
