Movie Reviews of Clifford
Movie Review: Great Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 44, and absolutely love this movie. The big joke in this movie is about how the crafty 10 year boy wreaks havoc out of revenge against his uncle Martin for breaking his promise to take the boy to Dinosaur Land.
The boy just about puts his uncle in the funny farm with frustration and rage from the boy's pranks. It is truly funny to see this little boy win this struggle over the accomplished adult. Charles Grodin is fabulous at expressing the frustration over the boy's immaturity, scheming and selfishness. But you know, even through the conflict, you can see that Uncle Martin really does like the boy.
Maybe you would have to have a 8 year and a 10 year boy to understand this movie.
The plot is set up splendidly from the beginning, where the boy wants to stay with Uncle Martin because Uncle Martin promised to take the boy to Dinosaur Land, and Uncle Martin wants the boy at his house so he can convince his finance that he truly loves children so he can save his engagement to Miss Sarah. Uncle Martin gets a rush project at work and cancels the Dinosaur Land trip, and then the boy begins to plot against his uncle to punish his uncle. That's when the fun gets going. The boy makes an absolute fool of his uncle in a bunch of scenes, gets his uncle thrown in jail and nearly ruins his uncle's engagement to the sweet Miss Sarah.
Of course, all is well that ends well, and Uncle Martin and Sarah get married, with the boy as ring bearer.
Movie Review: VERY FUNNY
Summary: 5 Stars
I HAD TO GET THIS MOVIE, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COME ON TV OFTEN, AND I COULD NOT FIND IT AT ANY MOVIE RENTAL STORES. THIS MOVIE IS VERY FUNNY. MARTIN SHORT IS GREAT. THIS IS A GREAT FAMILY MOVIE. THERE IS ONLY ONE SCENE THAT I FORGOT ABOUT WHEN WE WATCHED IT WITH OUR KIDS. AFTER CLIFFORD GOES TO STAY WITH HIS UNCLE, AFTER THEY VISIT SARAH DAVIS, THEY GO BACK TO UNCLE MARTINS HOUSE, AND THERE IS THE SCENE WHERE CLIFFORD IS IN HIS ROOM, IN HIS PJ'S EATING A DONUT AND DRINKING A HUGE SODA, WATCHING TV, AND IT SHOWS A SHORT SCENE OF THE TV PROGRAM HE IS VIEWING, WHICH IS AN AFRICAN TRIBE DANCING IN THE NUDE. IT IS ONE OF THOSE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TYPE PROGRAMS. IT IS A SHORT GLIMPSE, BUT YOU DO SEE WOMENS BARE BREAST. OTHER THAN THAT, IT IS A HILARIOUS FAMILY MOVIE FOR ALL AGES. IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN BE PREPAIRED FOR THAT SCENE, AS SOON AS THEY LEAVE SARAH DAVIS'S HOUSE, FF A FEW SECONDS.OUR FAVORITE PART IS WHEN THE UNCLE IS GETTING TIRED OF CLIFFORDS BEHAVIOR, HE TELLS CLIFFORD TO "ACT LIKE A HUMAN BOY FOR JUST A MINUTE" AND HOW CLIFFORD REACTS TO THAT IS SO FUNNY. HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE HYSTRICAL. I HAVE A 11 YEAR OLD SON, AND A 9 YEAR OLD SON, AND THEY LAUGHED ALMOST THROUGH THE WHOLE MOVIE.Movie Review: A Little-Known Comedy Classic

When most people hear the name "Clifford" they think of the giant dog of that name. On the other hand, I think of the Martin Short movie; I recently replaced my old VHS copy with a DVD, so my family can enjoy it over and over. Short plays the title character - an obnoxious, ingeniously wicked, self-centered brat - who wreaks havoc in the lives of his parents, his unfortunate Uncle Martin, and anyone else who dares cross his path. Clifford has his mind and heart set on going to Dinosaur World, and woe be unto anyone who gets in his way. Clifford turns his Uncle's life into a nightmare, alienating him from his fiancee, getting him falsely accused of a bomb threat, and making him out to be a buffoon at a dinner party. Oh yes, Clifford learns his lesson the hard way when he pushes Uncle Martin too far. There are certain scenes in the movie my family looks forward to even though we know they're coming. I highly recommend this one!Movie Review: Stephan feels that its very cruel if you do not love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome! One of the very best & most under rated & over looked Martin Short as well as Charles Grodin movies. If you are even moderate fans of these two one of a kind genious actors this little gem will fast become a favorite. As great as Martin Short is, the infamous dry humor of Grodin is even better. You will laugh your hiney off & be in tears thoughout the entire film & its pretty much geared towards all ages so kids really enjoy it also. I have never met or talked to anybody, including film snobs & horror purists that do not consider this movie anything but a total masterpiece. A definate must own. Buy it without thinking twice.Movie Review: I can't give this enough stars

Wow I just saw this movie on cable and was so dissapointed they rated it 1 star. This movie all depends on you. If your into superficial comedy like Beerfest and Harold and Kumar, this movie isn't for you. This movie is all about that little subtle something, that seems bizarre when analyzed but is definately from the divine. It is a comedy that made me almost pee my pants, it all depends on your state of mind while watching it. If your in a bad mood you wont like it, if your in a good mood you will wanna watch it again. Again it is soooooo funny I immediately went to review it and to buy it for myself.
