Movie Reviews of Fatal Instinct
Movie Review: Sorry but I thought it was funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes the editorial reviews here are funnier than the movies being reviewed. Sean Young typecast? Well, they call that irony where I hail from--and just how does one typecast anyone when the film is meant to be a parody? The lead not known for his comedic chops? Seems Leslie Nielsen wasn't known for his comedic chops which made him (and a bunch of other old hams) ten times funnier when he turned up in "Airplane." Again, something about irony. Irony. Hmmm. What is that? Someone respectable from the UK I believe recently said that Americans lack a sense of it. It's our national failing, our fatal flaw. It's the real reason the world hates us, we don't get anybody's jokes (I heard that exact complaint from a German no less).
To get straight to the meaty core here, this movie is great fun if you like Airplane, Kung Pow, Hot Shots II, or any of the other wacky and wise parodies and satires that came out during the last decade or two (Now then, aren't I being helpful?). If you're a "Scary Movie 1 through 20" fan this may not be your cup of hemlock (I'm helpful here too, trying to save you a few bucks). There's zaniness for its own sake (which really seems to confuse some people) and the courser stuff isn't driving the bus (Yet even more helpfulness on my part, I'd say).
So, basically, if you're a highly intelligent person, likable, talented, with a great sense of humor and irony, an achiever, a born leader, a scholar and a lady or gentleman, then you should own this DVD. If you're a scabrous lurching Neanderthal look elsewhere for entertainment.
[The above statement was intended as an ironic comment on the whole review schtick and is not to be taken literally nor is it meant to offend Neanderthals--the noblest beings that ever lurched scabrously about the Earth. I mean, after all, there is no good or bad, right or wrong, up or down; everything is purely a matter of taste, isn't it. Say, why don't we do here what they do at Harvard--give everything an automatic Five Stars!]
Summary of Fatal Instinct
Sex murder and revenge were never this funny.A hot chick with an ice pick takes a stab at love-and laughter-in this hysterically funny spoof from the director of The Jerk and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. "The gags come fast and furious" (The Hollywood Reporter) as the all-star cast-including Armand Assante (The Mambo Kings) Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks) Kate Nelligan (The Prince of Tides) and Sean Young (No Way Out)-pokes hilarious fun at such steamy thrillers as Basic Instinct Fatal Attraction Sleeping With the Enemy and Cape Fear.Lana. Laura. Lola. They're beautiful sexy-and all after Ned Ravine! One wants to marry him. One wants to kill him. And the other just plain wants him-dead or alive!System Requirements:Starring: Armand Assante Sherilyn Fenn Kate Nelligan Tony Randall Sean Young Directed By: Carl Reiner Running Time: 90 Min.
