Movie Reviews of Dr. Otto And The Riddle Of The Gloom Beam
Movie Review: 3 thumbs up
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the craziest movie I've ever seen. I loved it!! But don't expect this to be an 'Ernest' movie. This has a darker theme to it. I found Lance to be kind of a pathetic hero and I sided with poor Dr. Otto. It really wasn't his fault he was the way he was. His parents treated him horribly, even prayed that he would run away, and the kids at school made fun of him. It's no wonder he wanted revenge. Dr. Otto Von Schnick-ick-ick-ick wants to destroy the world. So, he makes cash worthless, he demagnetizes credit cards, the stock market is a mess and the government has no idea who owes who and how much they owe. The bank accounts are scrambled and no one can get their money, which causes riots to break out all over the U.S. It was said that this would be worse than the Depression of the 1920's. Varney-one of the writers-wasn't far off the mark. This movie was ahead of its time(1986). In fact, our economy today of 2011 seems to mimic what was happening in this movie: 'Economic downfall'.
My favorite thing was the 'Changing Coffin' in which Dr. Otto(who I found strangely attractive)changed into Rudd Hardtact, Laughin' Jack, Auntie Nelda and Guy Dandy. And Bill Byrge, who we all know as Bobby from other Ernest movies has a speaking role in this as the gas attendant.
The riddle was really good but I could only solve 2 parts of it.
Of course, at the end of the movie, I cracked the hugest smile when none other than 'Ernest P. Worrell' stepped out of that 'Changing Coffin'. We all know that Ernest rules!!!
