Editorial Review

Oddball scientist Fred Z. Randall (Harland Williams) is nobody's idea of an astronaut. But he turns out to be NASA's only hope when the first manned mission to Mars comes up one man short. So it's up to Fred, who instantly rubs the ship's commander (William Sadler) and specialist (Jessica Lundy) the wrong way--but makes eerily good friends with the ship's chimp. A movie whose rude, gas-laced sense of humor will appeal to kids; adults may also get a few chuckles out of Canadian funnyman Williams, who does countless impressions and makes endless faces and funny noises. Think of him as the poor man's Jim Carrey. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars You hairy little bed-stealer! This needs to be DVD-released NOW!!!
Rocket Man is another favorite of mine. Recently, UPN teased us by showing it on TV. Got my hopes up that the next time I was at Best Buy or any other DVD retailer that I would finally get my hands on this gem. But no. PLEASE IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, RELEASE THIS ON DVD! To anyone curious about viewing this movie, it's great fun and shouldn't be missed. Harland Williams is absolutely hilarious as a computer whiz who winds up getting sent on a mission to Mars. It's a Disney movie so prepare for a tidy ending as usual, but you'll be laughing the whole way through this journey, especially once they are on Mars. I don't want to give away any more and spoil it for you all, but if you think Williams is funny in Half Baked or even in his bit part as the serial killer in There's Something About Mary just to name a few, he's an absolute riot in this. For now, you'll have to rent/buy on VHS, but let's hope that this makes its way onto DVD soon!

5-0 out of 5 stars The Marx Brothers take Gypsy culture! - Put this on DVD!!
There is no way to summarize the plot of this film, except to say it's what you'd get if you dropped the Marx Brothers into Gypsy culture and stirred it all up. It's wild, crazy, and filled with music and dancing and unforgettable characters (played by real actors and actresses, not Hollywood ken-and-barbie dolls). You either like this kind of thing, or you don't. Astoundingly, some don't. Go figure! For me, it's a joy to watch.
5-0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Movies Ever
This is without a doubt one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.It is so intricate, human, and lovingly bizarre that I don't see how anyone could not absolutely love this movie.You have to bear with it for a bit in the beginning because there are so many characters and the plot is so complex that it takes a few scenes for you to get your bearings.Even during this time, though, the movie is absolutely hilarious.It's even more funny, though, once you realize what's going on.After that, just sit back and enjoy.Without equal. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars : (
I bought this movie, because a family member had seen it years ago and liked it.I watched it once and it was very funny there were several sexual referances in the movie coming from Ann-Margret but you can tell that by the cover.Funny as is was, at timesyou felt like you were watching the same things over and over again.I wouldn't watch it with young children.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Villain 1979
Hes dressed in black from boots to hat and and hes twirling double iron . His name is "Cactus Jack" slater and hes THE VILLAIN . Kirk Douglas (1916- ) stars as the neer-do-well highwayman in this screwball gunslinger comedy co-starring Arnold Schwartznegger (1947 - )as handsome stranger andswedish actress Ann-Margret (Ann-Margret Olsson 1941 - ) as a lusty Miss Charming Jones . Charming father Parody( Strother Martin 1919-1980) has sent her on a risky overland errand , providing crooked banker Avery Simpson ( Jack Elam 1918-2003) with the perfect chance to double-cross Parody out of a silver fortune and when Simpson offers to buy Cactus Jack out out of the Snakes End Jail if hi hell do the dirty work , Cactus Jack schemes to double-cross the double-crosser .

Ride along with a horse named Whisky and an allstar cast featuring Paul Lynde (1926-1982) as THE VILLAIN plots to outsmart handsome with slapstick determination . A raucous western spoof that proves you cant judge a cowboy by the color of his hat . High Quality Transfer . Recommended

5-0 out of 5 stars You would enjoy this movie if. . .
If you like good clean humor, you will love this movie. It is so funny and also entertaining. It's about a cowboy and his horse, and the horse almost talks. It's also about a seven shot, six-shooter (can you believe it). It comes in handy at just the right time. It's also about a naive cowboy, who does dumb things and doesn't even know they're dumb. So, for an entertaining time, purchase this dvd. It's well worth the money, and the time spent watching it. I'm sure you'll love it as much as we did. Happpy watching!!!!!!!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

During its release, this was the most popular film of all time in its native Italy. A typical Roberto Benigni comedy of mistaken identity, this 1991 work stars the actor-director in two roles, one a tough mafioso named Toothpick and the other a meek bus driver who is the gangster's look-alike. When the bad guy's girlfriend comes on to the clueless innocent--and she brings him along to her Sicilian villa--the slapstick madness rolls into high gear. Benigni really is a very funny and often remarkable clown, and he employs his usual physical gags in great and gratifying abundance. His script's inspiration reaches several peak moments when the mysteries between light and dark doppelgangers are suggested. One could reasonably call this sort of Jekyll-and-Hyde tale the closest Benigni has yet come to making his version of Jerry Lewis's Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This is one funny movie!!
Sure, Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher have nice moments in this movie.However, it is everything that swirls around them that makes this so funny."The pearl is in the river." "And they all look alike."Granted that some of the dialog is not politically correct, but it is not mean.
5-0 out of 5 stars The only thing I remember about this movie...
...is the scene where Carrie Fisher was wearing just her underwear. What a babe! I give the movie 5 stars just for that scene.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is one of my favorite holiday films. Clark, Ellen, Rusty, Audrey, and Cousin Eddie are back but this is nothing like the disapointing sequel, European Vacation (that movie was awful), this time the Griswold's decide to stay home and celebrate Christmas the good old fashioned-way. Both of their parents arrive and unexpected guest causes mayhem for The Griswold's, yikes! Cousin Eddie, played geniusly by Randy Quaid. The last hour of the film is non-stop laughs. The perfect holiday movie, I highly recommend the yultide gathering of mishaps and complete fun. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars If you liked SCARY MOVIE ....
I saw this movie 20 years ago and thought it was hilarious.It drags in parts and gets a little wierd at the end but if you've watched the older horror classics, e.g. Halloween, Carrie,you'll appreciate the jokes and humor.This movie was the prequel to movies like Scream and Scary movie.
4-0 out of 5 stars over the top cheesy,bizarre
this one is actually a guilty pleasure of mine and certainly not for everyone. you really have to be into 80s horror comedy cheese to even slightly appreciate what this film offers. its kinda a horror spoof intended to scare children a bit while being a bizarre comedy for adults. you realize right from the beginning that this movie is not intended to rival The exorcist or win academy awards. just a fun movie for fans of 80s cheese. I find the fathers sarcastic wit and negligence hysterical. The scene at the end when van helsig goes against the vampires for the bookof evil is classic horror comedy. totally over the top, cheesy , and nonsensical all the through. The daughters bath scene is mandatory and she looks quite nice semi nude as well. Nice shots of her legs and cute feet hanging out of bath tub. good movie for hardcore cheese lovers only.

3-0 out of 5 stars Cute!
Okay Saturday the 14th is not the funniest comedy movie ever made but I still liked it. It's just a cute enjoyable movie with some cute humor that satires horror movies and it has a good cast, Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss play a husband and wife and are married in real life and they were good in the movie as was Kari Michaelsen who is probaly best known as playing Katie, the eldest daughter in the sitcom Give Me A Break and underrated character actor Jeffrey Tambor was good too.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hollywood wishes he could make a film like this today....
Despite the fact that this film is over 70 years old, it is still absolutely hilarious, and one of the greatest comedies ever made.Its pointed satire on war, idiotic government, and idiotic people is still potent, and probably always will be.It is only 70 minutes long, but it has more laughs than 10 modern comedies combined.There are no gross out gags, no idiotic sex jokes, no swearing, no illiterate, oversexed teenagers, just brilliant comedy.Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and even Zeppo rule!
5-0 out of 5 stars Dialog Highlights This Marx Bros. Gem
Well, here we are with another wild and hilarious Marx Brothers farce, this time with Groucho taking over a small country and winding up in war with a neighboring one.
5-0 out of 5 stars Undiluted Marxian Madness
If you prefer the Marx Brothers without sappy romantic leads and ponderous musical numbers, look no further than "Duck Soup" (1933). Director Leo McCarey dispenses with the extra baggage and focuses on nonstop anarchy in this classic political satire. Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo remain a formidable comic machine as they unleash a barrage of one-liners and sight gags -- highlighted by the immortal mirror scene. Members of Congress should be forced to sit through this cinematic masterpiece at least once a year. "Hail Freedonia!" ... Read more

I think this movie is a real hoot!Marilyn Monroe is a genius at playing dumb!Jack Lemmon is hilarious in drag and often steals the show and Tony Curtis is...um...well, beautiful!The movie is funny, entertaining, witty and charming.When Jack Lemmon is torn between being a man, AND a woman too, he becomes confused and its extremely funny; his delivery is perfect! Lemmon's performance is comic brilliance!

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Funny
Some Like it Hot is #1 on The American Film Institute's Top 100 Comedies. This should be a good thing, to be on the list I mean, but to be #1 is almost a curse. It will subject the film to endless comparison and bashing, which the film may or may not deserve. Let me just start by clarifying this. Is this the funniest film ever made? No. Is it the most entertaining comedy ever made?
5-0 out of 5 stars A Whole Different Sex!
What a true film classic this movie is. Recently voted the funniest American film ever in AFI's poll of the 100 Funniest Movies, it never fails to disappoint. The paring of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon is pure magic. Each may not have been Billy Wilder's first choice for their respective roles, but one cannot imagine anybody else playing them now. As for Marilyn Monroe, she is the fragile, beautiful heart of the entire film. Her Sugar Kane is tragic, funny, sexy, and adorable all at the same time. I read how some of her lines had to be written out and displayed for her to read out while filming, and somehow this doesn't take away at all from her performance. She WAS Sugar Kane, always reaching for but not quite getting the sweet end of the lollipop. Jack Lemmon almost takes the entire movie as Daphne, his female alter-ego. How subversive this movie must have seemed in 1959, when a top male star could be seen reveling in his feminine side! As with "Sunset Boulevard" and "A Foreign Affair", the true strength of the film is the cast. Each person was letter perfect in their role. All of Billy Wilder's films should be essential viewing for any film buff. What he had was a true eye for talent in his acting roles, demontrated again and again in all his films, the knack for knowing who to put in what role. How many potentially great films have been hampered by questionable casting? It is a true gift, and not many really have it. This truly set Billy Wilder apart, and helped him turn this outrageous story into the classic it is now. Get this film for your collection, you won't regret it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Frank Capra made this film in 1941 before he went off to make films for America's war effort, but it wasn't released until 1944. Adapted from the hit play by Joseph Kesselring, this frantic black comedy shows Capra at his best as a master of mood and timing. Actresses Josephine Hull and Jean Adair reprise their Broadway performances as two gentle old ladies who poison men with elderberry wine to put them out of their misery. Cary Grant plays one nephew, a normal guy who just gets wind of their little hobby and tries to get them to stop, while Raymond Massey plays another, a villain just escaped from jail. Capra encourages the cast, especially Grant, to give a somewhat more outsized performance than one might expect. But made during the war years as it was, this overstated comic approach to killing was probably cathartic. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Good Old-fashioned Bellylaugh
I just loved this movie.It was fun watching the usually suave Cary Grant become befuddled and half crazed when he discovers his two dear sweet old aunts have been very, very naughty. Between "Teddy Roosevelt" charging up the stairs blowing his bugle and digging the Panama Canal in the basement....his evil cousin (Raymond Massey) and his evil cousin's sidekick, Dr. Einstein (played by Peter Lorre) you almost overlook the elderberry wine - but take my word for it...you shouldn't. ;-)
5-0 out of 5 stars Capra's horror comedy
It was very unusual for famed director Frank Capra to adapt a hit Broadway play into a motion picture.Yet that's exactly what he did in 1941 with the long-running play "Arsenic and Old Lace."However, Warner Brothers had an agreement not to release the film until the play completed its very long run and that didn't happen until 1944, by which time Capra had left Hollywood for wartime service (making outstanding documentaries for the U.S. government).

Editorial Review

Terrence McNally adapted his Broadway farce for this wild, headlong comedy set in one of the gay bathhouses that were once a staple of New York culture. Jack Weston plays a guy who makes the mistake of crossing his gangster brother-in-law. Fearing for his life, he hides in the gay baths and the door-slamming chaos begins. Directed by Richard Lester, the comedy is adept and well handled, with Weston watching his back while trying to pass as a regular customer. It's hard to tell which is funnier: Treat Williams as an undercover cop with a falsetto voice or Rita Moreno as the baths' supremely untalented--and even more supremely self-confident--singer, Googie Gomez. Her performances alone make this movie worth watching. Read more

This and the original M.A.S.H film had me rolling on the floor with laughter.It has a lot in common with classic theater farces (Goldsmith, Wilde, et al.) but takes the genre right over the top.How Rita Moreno didn't win another Oscar for this one, I don't know.Everyone I've shown it to--the girl friend, Mom, the neighbors--loved it.Not a mean-spirited moment in the whole show.

Chuck Murray and Ferdinand Jones (Abbott & Costello) are two bumbling service station attendants that are left as the sole beneficiaries in a gangster's will (William B. Davidson). They inherit an old abandoned speakeasy, his only possession. 5-0 out of 5 stars A Fun Time With Bud and Lou
This very fun and funny offering from Bud and Lou ranks as one of their best. A great cast and good story, along with two very nice numbers from the Andrew Sisters make Bud and Lou's third entry from 1941 a pure delight. When Bud and Lou lose their good jobs as waiters in a fancy nightclub, they go back to pumping gas and end up in the car of gangster Moose Malloy when he bites the dust. His will leaves everything to the last people with him at his death. Since that happeens to be Bud and Lou, and a lot of bad guys want their hands on a fortune he has hidden, hilarity isn't far behind.

5-0 out of 5 stars Warning:Watch this movie at your own risk!
Because you might just die laughing.
5-0 out of 5 stars Hysterically funny!
While times have changed in terms of special effects, they certainly did an excellent job pulling this one off.Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin are at their finest in this movie.Great lines, excellent acting and a funny plot make this a must watch movie.

4-0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted Entertainment
This film for me has always been a guaranteed laugh. The southern accents and snooty New York attitude superbly played are hilarious! Bette Midler and Lilly Tomlin now how can you come up with a better duo other than double it. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Movie
This is the funniest movie I've ever seen, bar none!

5-0 out of 5 stars My favourite movie of all time!!! A joy to watch.
The funny thing is that I didn't consciously go out of my way to watch this movie. Now that I've watched it, I'm so glad that I decided to rent it when I happened to see it on the shelf at the video store. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful movie ever made. Of course it is funny, as most people would imagine. The real gem in this picture, however, is the subplot of the bushman, Xi, and his young children becoming seperated, and their long and eventful journey to reunion. Not only does Xi lose his kids but the two of them, a sister and a younger brother, also become seperated from each other in the vast and barren Kalahari dessert. Their journey then becomes even more daring as their fate, particularly that of the younger child, hangs in the balance. But true to the inspirational story that is this movie, their courage and devotion to each other never wane. Though they face overwhelming odds, they will stop at nothing to ensure the safety and wellbeing of one another. These three brave souls, Xi and his children, exemplify the meaning of loyalty and family. Though this is just a movie, their love for each other touched my heart and brought me to tears, as movies can often do to all of us. As far as I'm concerned, however, this movie is the most special of them all. One cannot help but cry as you see them leap into each others arms upon their tearful reunion. It is often said that there is no stronger love than that of a parent for their child and this movie is testament to that. I believe that this movie holds a very important message for every family and furthermore for all of humanity. Do yourself a favour and buy it....you'll be glad that you did. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
I think that this is the best Pink Panther film that I've seen. Although I've only seen this one, A Shot In The Dark, and The Pink Panther {2006}. This film has incredible slapstick comedy by Peter Sellers. Starring Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, David Niven as Sir Charles Lytton, Robert Wagner as George Lytton, Capucine as Simone Clouseau, Brenda De Banzie as Angela Dunning, Colin Gordon as Tucker,Claudia Cardinale as Princess Dala, and The Pink Panther as himself. I can't wait to see the other ones. Well, that was my review.
5-0 out of 5 stars His Kind of Woman
Recently, from film noirs, You released the move "His Kind of Woman" with Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell. This movie I have been waiting to buy for many years. It is one of the best Adventure movie I have enjoyed very much. I recomend it to all ages. Robert Mitchum at his best.
5-0 out of 5 stars Delightful comedy classic
Blake Edwards' THE PINK PANTHER has held up well over the years.It is, of course, the start of one of the funniest and most popular comedy series of all time.However, while the subsequent films focus on the antics of bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers), Clouseau is almost a supporting character in this film.Most of the focus is placed on Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven), an irresistible middle-aged bachelor who is secretly "The Phantom", a world-famous jewel thief.He decides to steal the Pink Panther diamond, the most valuable jewel in all the world.
