Movie Reviews of Armed and Dangerous

Movie Review: Very Funny
Summary: 4 Stars

One of the best comedys of the late 80s. In one scene..John Candy dressed as Divine and Eugene Levy in assless chaps(are'nt you the cheeky one)worth the price of admission.

Movie Review: FAIRLY FUNNY CANDY VEHICLE
Summary: 3 Stars

John Candy is Frank Dooley, a cop unjustly fired from his job. Candy decides to become a Security Guard for Guard Dog Security. He is teamed with second-rate former prosecutor Norman Kane.

On the job they find themselves mixed up in a plot with shady, mob-run Union reps led by Robert Loggia as the mob boss. They try to tell their story to a young Meg Ryan, daughter of the security company boss but she doesn't beleive them. Soon they find themselves accused of murder and on the run from the cops and the mobsters.

Levy and Candy, two ex-SCTV alums have a good chemistry together in a kind of modern day laurel and hardy stlye. Not an uproarious movie but some funny parts, the best being when the pair hide out from the cops in a LA sex shop and Candy dresses in drag to escape the cops.

A fun movie. Not a gem but some good bits.

Movie Review: Funny movie
Summary: 3 Stars

I loved John Candy and will never forget this movie. I laughed hysterically at the scene with Eugene Levy taking on the mob at the union meeting and both of them guarding the dump and the guy comes up and asks them if they want a toothbrush - c'mon classic stuff. Candy was Johnny Le Roux for those of you who remember SCTV, and here partnering with Levy they hit a great piece of fun. That's all this picture is is fun. Don't look for laugh a minute, and don't lok for sitcom TV, it's not. It's just a movie with a story about two guys who find themselves in situations that result in comedic performances that are pretty good. C'mon when he tells the truck driver at the end that he needs to get somehwere to save a friend while the southern truck driver is in the middle of a traffic jam and the guys says to Candy "Well hop on in here slim!" is classic.

Movie Review: Harmless and Wilded
Summary: 2 Stars

I was so glad when this movie came out on DVD, because I remember it as being so funny. However, it has not aged well. John Candy is great as always, but even he can't keep this turkey moving. Meg Ryan has a very small part as eye candy, but when was the last time Eugene Levy was funny? Too much here for John Candy to hold together. If you are a Candy fan as I am, see Summer Vacation instead. It's also out on DVD now.
