Movie Reviews of Mr. Accident
Movie Review: Not one of Australias, but one if the ALL TIME WORST MOVIES
Summary: 1 Stars
Yahoo Serios made a name for himself when he made the classic Australian comedy "Young Einstein" then he slipped a little, but not completly with "Reckless Kelly". Both those movies gave Yahoo Serious a well placed name in Australian movie making.Then comes out with this garbage. I was anxious to see this, and made up an excuse to take my nefue and neice to see this movie. And during the entire movie I can testify that I only made the smallest, un-heard "ha" once during the entire film!
I remember walking out thinking that that was one of the worst films ever, how it got made I can only guess is that the studio saw Yahoo's name and figured it would probably be as good as his last 2, but what suprises me more is I havent seen it on any top 100 Worst movies of all time lists. So let me be the first to say , it's in my top 20 worst movies of all time.
The movie was pathetic, the story had been done a million times before, oh, I got the humour, it just wasnt funny, the out-takes where not at all funny, and most of the time out-takes during the credits are what people stay to watch and laugh at, I was already walking out by that time, the kids wanted to watch them, but nope, still nothing funny at all!
If Yahoo ever releases his great comedy "Young Einstein" on DVD? I Recomend you check that out. Its a great comedy that is one of Australias best ever. If he releases "Reckless Kelly" then that one would be OK, but if you have no knowedge of who the real Ned Kelly is? you probably wouldnt get it at all.. but avoid this god awful movie. You dont see many reviews here on it, I wasnt even going to waste my time reveiwing it, but I felt it needed to be said that it is one of the worst movies of all time. well, worst attempts at comedy anyway. Even tho I went "ha" for as long as it took you to read that one time during the film, even the kids themselves only laughed about 5 times.
If Yahoo is going to make another movie after this, then he has some serious thinking to do before he makes it, every reveiw in the country at the time gave it a 1 star vote. I wish I had of taken there reveiws as right, for once in my life! Not many times to I see reveiws written and fully agree with them, but I did on this movie, its a 1 star, pethetic attempt from Yahoo who slipped into a deep dark hole with this un-original, seen it before, pethetic attempt at a comedy - he should have stuck to that formula he was doing with fammiluer charactors like in his previous films and re-aranged it to an almost parody like atmosphere which made them funny. This movie had none of that, and failed big time, it flopped in theatres, it flopped in the rentals, and every single reveiw never gave it more then 1 and a half stars, and the ones he gave it a half star more then it deserved are just beeing too kind to Yahoo Serious.
Movie Review: Just bad....
Summary: 1 Stars
I've always been a fan of unusual, slapstick style movies. Despite its flaws, I still consider Young Einstein to be hilarious. With that in mind I purchased Mr. Accident, thinking I was in for another under-rated treat. I was wrong. This movie is just bad.
The plot is vague at best, involving a maniacal businessman trying to get the world hooked on his 'special' eggs. There's some sub-plot about aliens that was ridiculously unnecessary and doesn't really go anywhere. I suspect it was thrown in simply to eat screen time. The humor feels forced, there's no real chemistry between Yahoo and his supposed love interest and most of the actors (including Yahoo) appear to be just going through the motions.
The only bright point I noticed in this otherwise boring film was watching David Field as the main antagonist. He played his over-the-top killer/maniacal businessman role perfectly. Think Richard Grant in Hudson Hawk. Only shorter and angrier. The few times I laughed were during scenes he was in. Unfortunately it was far too little to save this wretched film.
Avoid this movie. It's just not worth watching.
Movie Review: Serious-ly [dull] movie
Summary: 1 Stars
My wife and I got this, hoping for a fun silly, movie. A bit more Austrailian and such. Instead we got one of the most boring unfunny movie ever. Each joke was executed with a vaccume of unfunnyness. We went in with low expectations, hoping for just a goofy fun movie, but we were sorely dissapointed. This move makes Paulie Shore and Carrot Top seem like comic geniouses by comparision... ......One of the WORST movies EVER!... and not in a good way.
