      To be fair, at least dildos bring some form of satisfaction to the people that use them. I'm pretty sure the same cannot be said for the movie Ghost Dad, much less Leonard Part 6. If you want to see a film with a detective/government operative storyline that has quality comedy, just watch The Naked Gun movies. Leslie Neilson knows how to do the genre justice! ^_^

    The scene where the assassin attacks the kitchen, but the staff doesn’t bat an eye and just keeps doing their jobs, does have comedic potential. Put some line in there about “how once you’ve dealt with the Sunday brunch crowd, it takes more than some jerk with a gun to faze us” and you have a nice gag.

      As a current culinary student myself, I feel it would have made more sense to take a darker route and have everyone in the kitchen either trying to get out of the way or help Leonard with whatever they have on hand-- sharp knives, spraying the floor with a dishwasher hose, grease fires, the works. There's ENDLESS gallows slapstick potential there that went unused. XD

    One thing to note about the Coke product placements is that not only was Bill Cosby the spokesperson for the product, but at the time, the film's distributor, Columbia Pictures, was a subsidiary of the Coca-Cola Company.

    Yeah, the reason why Cosby never made it as a movie star is he cannot act.

    And I don’t blame the director for this one. When big comedies come out that might be risky, a comedian might hire a first time director, that way they can not only take the fall, but they can also do whatever they’re told. Look at something like “the love guru” Mike Myers had a first time, and so far only time, director take the reins of that film. But Mike is a well-known perfectionist, so it’s not unfair to assume that they picked a first time director with no pull or ability to take full control, that way if the movie tanked, they can blame the director. This movie was Cosby doing whatever he wanted, and when he saw the final product was dog shit, I tried to find someone else to take the blame
    Now while the director spoke out against Cosby, who Ended up keeping their career?

      And the next movie he photographed was Die Hard.

Also maybe helps Die Hard took place almost entirely in one location, so more visual unity.

    At least Ishtar has fans AND is getting reanalyzed as an alright comedy with an unintentionally bloated budget (since Coca-Cola wanted to get some of those funds in Morocco, while Elaine May and Columbia Pictures' original plans to shoot the film in California would've only cost $25 mil at most).
    You don't see that with Leonard Part 6. Maybe it could've worked had Cosby been better at writing off-the-wall surrealist humor and alternative comedy as a means to point out the inherent absurdity in spy pictures, but like you said, it's not his forte. At all. In any known universe. He's trying so hard to be Joe Dante - or to be like an early Woody Allen parody film - but it's like he saw the random-at-first-glance jokes in Gremlins and Sleeper and thought that any random thing will do in his picture.
    Also it kinda helps that Cosby turned out to be a monster AND Elaine May's career was destroyed by the heads at Columbia because Ishtar wasn't successful.

And to point out how crowded the competition was this year, other nominees included Masters of the Universe, Superman IV, & The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. Those DIDN'T get nominated for Worst Picture, & you can actually make an argument the five that did are all worse!
    Anyhow, great review! I admit I would like to see more, if only because as far as I know, the only other online presence to recap this film was The Agony Booth in a text recap, which is now Patreon-only. Nostalgia Critic, Cinema Snob, many others...too horrible for them. Which again, says a lot.
    It should be noted that while Cosby was trashing the movie, he apparently put all the blame on the director. basically, the one major role in making the film he didn't have a part in. So it's a karmic twist that Cosby won all his Razzies, but the director didn't.
    Finally, if they wanted to make the "Part 6" gag work, then they also should have made direct allusions to previous adventures (beyond the bit involving cheating), sort of like Carrie Fisher's character in Blues Brothers or such. But oh, this was no Blues Brothers.

It works for Buckaroo Banzai, but Cosby isn't weird enough to write like that - he can barely be funny in his own movie. Also at 1:32, why no mention of "Mother, Jugs, and Speed"?

    Next month: Cocktail.
    At least, you don't have to review fellow nominee Caddishack 2... yet.

      Cocktail is one of the least bad of the Worst Picture winners.

      @@MrChaotic4 I concur. COCKTAIL is perfect escapist entertainment: imagine being Cruise's friend, just hanging out with hot ladies in the Caribbean, having a good time through the melodrama.
      Why CADDYSHACK II didn't get the award is beyond me. I've seen the Snob's review and it is bad.

      You wanna hear something strange? Not only did Tom Cruise star in that film, the Worst Picture winner of the year, but also Rain Man, the Best Picture winner of the year.

      @@gageperuti5519 I have to wonder if that didn't play a big part in COCKTAIL winning, because after going to Wikipedia and looking at the list of films up for "Worst Picture", COCKTAIL should not have won.
      I mean, how is COCKTAIL _worse_ than MAC AND ME _and_ CADDYSHACK II?!

      @@gageperuti5519 Similarly, in 2009, Sandra Bullock won Worst Actress for All About Steve and Best Actress for The Blind Side in the same year. She actually accepted her Razzie in person and handed out copies of All About Steve to the audience in attendance. And those are pretty much the only copies of the movie that anybody owns.
