Movie Review: If you have a shanker on your privates...
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who doesn't get the humor in this classic needs to get a life. Bad taste? No kidding! One of the funniest movies of all time. Complaints about the lack of dvd extras are pointless since the movie's budget was so small, we all are lucky to have the movie itself to enjoy. Is there any film out there that takes you back to the carefree days of hippiedom better than this one? Okay, I'm really nostalgic since I saw it at the age of 13 (along with Flesh Gordon), and was infatuated with the girl in the VeeDub for about 2 years. Also, I think I may be related to Koko the clown... Seriously, I somehow got the email of Lane Sahronson (the assassin, the cop and the movie's co-writer) and he was told me what a blast it was to make the film and that he wasn't in touch with Ken Shapiro any longer (too bad- I would love a sequel). Think I'll get my copy out tonight, crack open a Butz beer and 'move on up.' Groovy!Movie Review: Laughs from a more peaceful time

Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this, taped from late-night cable, when I was 12 and thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen. The opening sketch with the goofy guy running after the cute hottie through the woods, and what happens to him is something that'll have you rolling on the floor in hysterics! "The Dealers" is also pretty damned funny as well, and no-one can ever forget the Public Health spot toward the end. Ken Shapiro also directed "Modern Problems", starring Chevy Chase, and while it may not be for everyone, I still think it's got some funny stuff in it. I have no idea what else he's done between these two films, or afterwards.
Movie Review: THEATRICAL MASTERPIECE
Summary: 5 Stars
chevy chase delivers an oscar worthy performance. richard belzer establishes himself as a first class actor with this absolutely smashing performance. with the combination of exceptional screenplay and spell binding special effects, the groove tube speaks in volumes. if siskel and ebert were still together, they would give this movie a 12 out of 10, and 3 thumbs up!!!!!!! THE ACID INHIBITING APES AT THE MOVIES FIRST SCENE, SET THE TONE FOR AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER RIDE THAT IS TODAY BECOME A TIMELESS CLASSIC IN THE THEATRICAL WORLD. TASTY SAM, I LIKE TO CALL THEM MY LITTLE GUYS IN DISGUISE, WERE JUST EARTH SHATTERING. THIS MOVIE IS NUMBER 1.Movie Review: Okay, it's dated but........
Summary: 5 Stars
Ken Shapiro's movie is comedic genius. If you're old enough to remember Ed Herlihy's voiceovers for the Kraft Kitchen bits on Perry Como, the Kramp Kitchen hits home. The rock steady voiceover, the ridiculous recipe and Shapiro's frenetic hands are so funny that I have to turn away to catch my breath.
Granted that this isn't a slick comedy by today's standards but it is very original and hilarious to the right viewer.
By the way, for the Kentucky Fried Movie fans, it probably isn't an accident that KFM came out three years after Groove Tube.
Note to Mr. Shapiro - wherever you are, Thanks for the Laughs!
