    • @DiabloSandwich59
      @DiabloSandwich59 3 года назад +7

      The reason I think the film is boring is because the film seems bored with itself. It was clear that Aykroyd was more interested in the characters played by himself and Candy but that doesn't mean that you skimp on the parts of the story not involving them but that seems to be what happens.

    • @BradsGonnaPlay

      @@DiabloSandwich59 yeah the characters become 2 dimensional verrrrry quickly upon entering Valkenvania. I like the movie personally but I think this movie needed a longer cut and better written protagonists. The Brazilians were so pointless and flat and should have been written into the whole script imo because once they leave, the leads become background characters.

      And, when I consider the direction at which the world is headed and the rate that things are going, I suspect that within 20 year’s time, all of the movies, films, books, etc... that we grew up with will be considered verboten by “the state.”

      that was fun. But overall the concept did not work for me. I think the makers wanted to derive humor from putting people in a distressing situation but it failed to generate the laughs. You actually kind of feel sorry for them. And the whole situation feels rather irritating if not dangerous and the narrative feels clumsy. A comedy has to work with situation and presenting weird oddball characters is just not enough. The situation has to be funny and its not. I mean I am not sure people being minced to meat and bones can generate laughs. Therefore this movie has big problem with the tone.
      I give this movie is 5. The only redeeming factor is Demi Moore. And the scene where she and the lead actor escape with sleeping on each others shoulders gives you a sense of relief. Overall this movie fails on all levels. Its premise where it tries to generate humor from a situation where the group is trapped by a lunatic family is problematic. Secondly even the premise with all the oddball characters and the different situations is just not funny. It feels mean spirited and irritating.

    Really great, even-handed take on this film. I saw this in the theaters when it opened. No one in their right mind could come out of it remotely thinking it was a "good" movie by any stretch, but it's always, as you've stated "stayed with me" and I revisit every so often. Always the same result. Cuts not withstanding, it's just had about half a dozen wrong turns, each of which could have massively improved the result. At it's core concept, I've always felt this movie was the seed of something that could have been if nothing else a phenomenal cult classic.

I think it is an unique and clever movie that uses elements from American life (granted....they are the most extreme versions of those elements but still) and I still have the images of the Starlog magazine issues that talk about this movie, and I can definitely say that Aykroyd is my spirit animal given how warped my mind-set is. The original poster art for this movie is EPIC and I can see someone using it as a Goosebumps cover. Chevy being a bad apple goes without saying, but yes i'd pay to see the Aykroyd cult of this movie since I know it exists somewhere.
