Movie Reviews of Loose Shoes
Movie Review: Lousy Shoes
Summary: 2 Stars
Note: DVDs of LOOSE SHOES are heavily edited, with nearly 20 minutes missing from most. This VHS however is unexpurgated.
A minor comedy often advertised as a Bill Murray picture when he only cameos.
LOOSE SHOES (1980) was scripted in part by Royce D. Applegate, plus he's in it. Applegate plays doomed Reb General Kemper in the 4-hour war epic, GETTYSBURG (1992).
"Loose Shoes" (aka "Coming Attractions," aka "Quackers") is blackout sketch comedy, much like STAY TUNED (1992), Robert Downey Sr.'s AMERICA [VHS] (1986), THE GROOVE TUBE (1974) or Abrams & Zucker's KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE (1977). The theme here is movie trailers.
With narration (in-part) from Gary Owens and Harry Shearer, cameos include Murray, Buddy Hackett, Jaye P. Morgan, Howard Hesseman, Avery Schreiber, Betty Thomas, Susan Tyrrell, Rikki Marin and Van Dyke Parks, of all people! There's good imitations of Chaplin, Ma & Pa Kettle, Woody Allen, Cab Calloway (doing the naughty title song) and others. Billy Curtis reprises his "Mayor of Munchkin City" character in an Oz parody that stars Billy Jack.
It's silly, it's 70s, it's so... so... so-so.
Summary of Loose Shoes
Broad satire and buffoonery presented as a series of movie trailers. Among the titles and subjects are "The Howard Huge Story" "Skate-boarders from Hell" movie trailer come-ins Charlie Chaplin war movies and Billy Jack. In the tried and true tradition of "Kentucky Fried Movies" "The Groove Tube" and "Tunnel Vision" this hilarious film will keep the audience in a constant state of laughter.System Requirements:Running Time: 79 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/BUDDY FILMS UPC: 879431000572 Manufacturer No: MAC57Similar DVD Movies
