Movie Review: Clifford(1994)****
Summary: 4 Stars
Wow, there is so much to say about this movie i dont kno really where to start. This movie is about crazy Clifford(Martin Short), whos father gets in a dilema while on his way to Hawaii for a busimess trip. Hoping he will get some peace from his menace of a son , Clifford's father decides to call his brother Martin(Charles Grodin)in Los Angles, to watch him while he is on his business trip. Not knowing the torture that awaits him, Martin happily watches over Clifford. But he soon realizes that Clifford is a crazy, out of control menace, whos only thought is about going to Dinosaur World ( an amusement park he has always dreamed of going to.) In the end, Clifford and Martin gain a mutual respectfor each other.This is a great comedy for the whole family. A must see.Movie Review: If you really love Martin Short...
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this movie for some reason, but do know many who don't. If you can take an hour and a half of Martin Short acting like a spoiled rotten 10 year old boy, then give this movie a shot. My 11 year old son, my husband and I all think it's hilarious but have a friend whose toe nails curl at the mention of the name Clifford.Movie Review: review for clifford dvd
Summary: 4 Stars
I did not at first receive this item on time...I was frustrated. Then, I contacted the dealer and he responded immediately and explained how it was in fact possibly lost in the mail, so he sent me another for no charge. I received the second one in three days. I was satisfied.Movie Review: "...a nightmare about your early days in the circus."
Summary: 3 Stars
Clifford (1994) was directed by Paul Flaherty, who also directed Who's Harry Crumb? (1989) and was a writer for SCTV, for which Martin Short appeared on, and also wrote for numerous other of Short's projects, finally sees a DVD release...sort of...the film stars Martin Short as the title character Clifford, a manipulative ten-year-old boy infatuated with dinosaurs and a theme park called Dinosaur World. Charles Grodin plays Clifford's Uncle Martin, and Mary Steenburgen is Martin's fiancée Sarah Davis.
It seems Clifford's Uncle Martin and Sara are having problems in that Sara wants to start a family right away, but Martin doesn't seem serious about it. Then Martin sees an opportunity to show Sara how great he is with children by taking in his nephew Clifford for a week. Clifford, wanting to go to Dinosaur World so badly gets his Uncle Martin to promise to take him, but Uncle Martin must break the promise due to a deadline he must meet for his work. This sets Clifford off in that he creates pranks, simple and elaborate, to get back at his uncle for lying to him. You see, Clifford is extremely intelligent, cunning, obsessive, and pure evil, in the way a ten-year-old boy can be, especially one who doesn't get what he wants.
The chemistry between Grodin and Short is really very good, the two battling wits and Grodin's character never quite realizing the depth of the boy's ruthlessness until it's too late. Short is creepily convincing as a ten year old boy out for revenge for not getting what he wanted, basically ruining his uncle's personal and professional life in a few, short days. There are a number of truly funny scenes and dialogue throughout the movie, and it's quite entertaining. Grodin plays a role he has basically perfected over the years, a straight-laced character in unusual and exasperating situations.
I was disappointed with this release in that it was only available in a full screen format. Also, there was a notable lack of special features, the disc only containing a trailer for the film. I wasn't looking for like ten hours of stuff, but maybe some production notes, or a look at some of Martin Shorts other projects. Another reviewer has stated that some scenes are missing from the original release, but I am not sure if that is true as I haven't seen this film in a long time, but it does run 90 minutes which matches the what the IMDb has listed as a running time.

Movie Review: It has it's moments
Summary: 3 Stars
not the best but with some moments that are really funny... sometimes gets a little bit boring, but in general it's ok... very 90's.... if you like the kind of comedies made in those years this is for you
