Rehashed Reviews :: The All Yuks Edition!
As I hammer through all these old reviews I came to a startling revelation: of all the genres that I've snockered myself through over the years the one that was represented the least were [intentional] comedies, which made that an easy choice to tackle next since there were only, like, four of them...
First up, we head to a parallel universe where the 1970's oil-embargo and gas-grunch never abated. And now, with the United States up to it's eye-balls in debt, the President launches a desperate, month long televised telethon to save this once great nation from defaulting to its creditors. God bless the Americathon...
Next, we break off a whole chunk of Meatloaf with a huge side-helping of corn when the world's greatest Roadie bites off more than he can chew when his groupie-addled-girlfriend is more interested in his clients than him.
Then, we have midgets, spies, midget spies, and Princess Leia in her underwear. Hell, what's not to love in the farcical flick Under the Rainbow. Unless,of course, you don't like short jokes, ethnic buffoonery, and are a card carrying member of the ASPCA. If so, you might want to look somewhere over the rainbow instead.
And last, but surely not least, we have, hands down, the funniest spoof to come out of the 1980's that didn't have the name Brooks, Zucker or Abrams anywhere in the credits -- but wait until you see who is lurking in the cast. As the old saying goes, When Nature Calls you gotta go...
