Movie Reviews of Evil Roy Slade
Movie Review: Funnier than it should be, considering its age
Summary: 4 Stars
Although made a whole bunch of years ago (1972), this holds up remarkably well as a comedy, no doubt due in large part to the fact that it was co-written by none other than Gary Marshall, the genius behind Big with Tom Hanks, among other great American comedy films. The casting is perfect; John Astin flashes his teeth a lot as the title character, which is appropriate, and Mickey Rooney is on hand as the stereotypical rich greedy RR tycoon out to take over the entire territory.
Also here are Milton Berle (!) as the owner of a shoe store, Edie Adams as Flossie (half the time called "Floozie", for good reason), Penny Marshall in a small role as a bank teller, and Henry Gibson as Mickey Rooney's numbskull nephew. The "funny boy" bits are hilarious, but there's a lot of other stuff here too that's just as funny. The ending is a real hoot.
Roy's the ultimate Western bad guy--gang and all--but inside he has a heart of gold. Kind of. At least that's what his lady love (Pamela Austin) firmly believes. He tries to go straight to please her, but dag nabbit, just can't do it. His attempts in the shoe store are truly funny.
Lots of fun, and definitely recommended.

The good guys do not have a chance, as Evil Roy turns the tables on the classic western story of good triumphing over evil. Western veteran Pat Butram narrates, the Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Henry Gibson, Edie Adams, Pamela Austin, Milton Berle, Pat Morita, Ed Begley, Jr., Dom DeLuise and Penny Marshall co-star.Westerns DVD Video
