Movie Reviews of My 5 Wives
Movie Review: Fresh Routines....
Summary: 4 Stars
To Buy or Not to buy, will it be an asset to your DVD collection, or will you watch it once and forget it?Yes people its safe to say that since your here, you like Dangerfield's type of comedy. This film delivers fresh routines of Dangerfields trademark style, and although not a "big" budget film the likes of Ladybugs, Back To School and Easy Money...etc., it will still make you laugh.
If your a fan of Dangerfield, this is a good purchase and you will enjoy it a couple times.
Andrew Dice plays a Mafia underboss in the film, although his perfomance and jokes are nothing outstanding, its still a little funny looking at him. The writers could have done much more with his character, it is obvious his character wasnt written for him specifically or the director wanted to keep his performance second to Dangerfields.
Very little cameo perfomances by other up and comming comics, so dont expect much.
The film looks like a "Made for TV" movie and also looks like it was shot using video... possible to lower production costs.
Overall if you like Dangerfield, youll like this movie.
Movie Review: Classic Rodney
Summary: 4 Stars
Not the best Rodney Dangerfield film, but funny. Rodney carries this movie with his oneliners, other than that this movie probably wouldn't have much else to offer. Appearances by John Byner and Andrew "dice" clay too.If you're a fan of Rodney you'll enjoy it.Movie Review: My 3 Stars...
Summary: 3 Stars
The only major key elements saving this comedy is Dangerfield's amazingly sarcastic humorous jokes and facial expressions,the lovely babes who play his wives, and the the tongue-in-cheek humor on a certain religion. Otherwise, the story is forgettable. Andrew Dice Clay again plays a typical role as memorable as his acting career. As for the story itself, it's about a construction developer from L.A. who purchases land in a Mormon town-community to build a ski-lodge resort. What he did not realize was that in bidding and gaining the land he would also inherit several wives from the previous landowner who has since passed away (it's a major part of the community's religious tradition). He,himself must also become a Mormon in order to join the township as a citizen to own the land.The rest involves crooked bankers/loan officers, mob king pins based in Las Vegas, and uptight conservative Mormon town folk...
Despite all the films flaws, it's Rodney's humor that delivers every time. My only recommendation for any true die-hard Rodney Dangerfield fan is to skip this 100 minute flick and watch his stand up performances on the Jay Leno Show.At least on the Leno Show Rodney cuts to the chase and gets to his comedy gags !...
This comedy flick rates 3 stars...One for Rodney,One for the babes, and One for some of the other miscellaneous antics and gag-jokes !
Movie Review: Who Can Dislike Rodney Dangerfield
Summary: 3 Stars
Rodney slows down in this apparently direct-to-video movie, but it's an amusing take on the always-popular guy-who-inherits-bunch-of-babes plotline. Here, Rodney is a would-be ski lodge builder who finds that to buy some Utah mountain property for his lodge, he has to adopt the local splinter Mormon beliefs. That somehow includes taking three wives, and they become five. He gets some tired gags out of how he has to bed these five beauties, then he takes them to Las Vegas, they quickly become liberated at a seminar, and help save Rodney from a couple smalltown hustlers including a banker played by John Byner, fronting for a mob guy played by Andrew Dice Clay, who wants the property for his uncle, played by Jerry Stiller. Lots of Dangerfield gags, many of them heard many times before, a chase scene in which Rodney's double bests the bad guys, and all turns out well in the end. Lightweight Dangerfield, but, heck, I like the guy and it's among the better of his lesser efforts.Movie Review: Good movie. :)
Summary: 3 Stars
Rodney was really good in this movie.
It's not as commercialized as Back To School but there's no reason to forget about it.
AND it didn't cost me over $3! :)
