Movie Reviews of Kentucky Fried Movie
Movie Review: Alright, Not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
Playing a number of obscure online games and belonging to a number of absurdist forums, I've been bombarded with references to Kentucky Fried Movie. I finally decided to buy it to see what the fuss was about, and was not severely disappointed. Many of the jokes fall just short of being funny, but are close enough for an effort grade. The bits that did get a laugh from me were so great as to nearly carry the four star rating on their own. Close to the middle, a parody of pornography turns into pornography, so this movie really isn't appropriate for younger viewers.
It has its dull moments, but I would definitely recommend this film to any absurdist, comedy fan, or budding classic movie collector.
Summary of Kentucky Fried Movie
Twenty years before the Farrelly Brothers turned raunch into acceptable film comedy, the team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker exploited it first. The college threesome made it big with Airplane! in 1980, but this 1977 cinematic version of their live theater show is ground zero for their talents. Like The Groove Tube, Kentucky Fried Movie is a mishmash of sketches, fake commercials, and parodies with no central theme--except their crudeness and laugh-out-loud humor. Highlights include a commercial for "Scot Free," a board game based on the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, "The Wonderful World of Sex," in which a couple goes through foreplay with a self- help narrator instructing them step by step, and a 20-minute spoof of Bruce Lee films entitled "A Fistful of Yen." Brazen to a fault, the movie will reach for any punch line, no matter how crude (and those who flocked to the film's initial release looking for R-rated sex will remember the final sketch and the infamous trailer for "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble.") Directed by then-unknown John Landis on a shoestring budget, the film has aged. But crassness, when it's this funny, is forever. --Doug ThomasIrreverent satire on movies, television and contemporary society.
