Movie Reviews of The Groove Tube
Movie Review: CUTE
Summary: 3 Stars
SAW THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. BUT, LIKE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, THE BABES WERE MY MAIN MOTIVATION FOR SEEING IT AGAIN. I DID ENJOY THE FINAL SEEN THO, WHERE THE DIRECTOR DOES HIS SONG AND DANCE ACROSS PARTS OF NEW YORK'S FINANCIAL DISTRICT OF THE EARLY 70'S.Movie Review: It was a lot funnier 30 years ago
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought "The Groove Tube" as a gift for my husband. We did the grind house / cult movie / midnite movie circuit when we started dating 30 years ago. Although it was fun to see Chevy Chase and Richard Belzer (among others) when they were just starting their careers, this movie has lost something over time. It is no longer shocking or rebelious, just kinda silly and a little gross.
For those who want a "blast from the past", Kentucky Fried Movie holds up much better!
Movie Review: watch "Kentucky Fried Movie" instead
Summary: 1 Stars
I love these whacky kind of comedys, and when I heard about this one I tried to track it down for about 2 years. Finally after it's release here for under $5 aus. I was highly disapointed by waiting in anticipation for what I was sure was going to be histerical 'cause of what other reviewers wrote about it..
It was a complete bore for about 30 minutes. I didnt think what they where doing was funny at all. The only funny bits where a couple of the sketches Chevy Chase was in and an amusing puppet. But the 4 or 5 laughs I had during this movie didnt save it.
I'd recomend you watch Kentucky Fried Movie instead of this snore fest. Even it's attempt a stoner humour failed. Beleive me, i love these kind of movies, but this is by far one of the biggest piles of $#!% I have ever seen that so many have said is a classic. It doesnt compete with goof satire movies like...
- Kentucky Fried Movie
- Airplane / Flying High 1 & 2
- Naked Gun 1, 2 & 3
- Repossessed
- Silence Of The Hams
- Spaceballs
- HotShots 1 & 2
- Loaded Weopen
- Scary Movie
- History Of The World
- Young Frankinstein
- Anything by Monty Python
check out one of those instead.
Movie Review: As Unfunny as the TV it mocks
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, in response to an earlier review, I grew up in the 70s so I get it and it is crap. I liked LOOSE SHOES, KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, but this film, from the man who brought us MODERN PROBLEMS and then faded from humanity's recorded history, is utterly lame. I guess P.T. Barnum was right about a sucker being born every minute and they are posting the positive reviews here. I challenge anyone to tell me what is funny about Chevy Chase singing while someone plays air drums on his head. The hitchhiker scene sets the tone for this junk - naked flesh and toilet humor aplenty. I have got nothing against toilet humor.....when it's funny. The clown sequence was mildly amusing for a fleeting moment and that is about it. The Dealers segment makes you appreciate Cheech & Chong all the more because, even stoned, this skit is a bummer, man. I could go on, but there is really no point.Movie Review: Cheap, Uncreative Excrement
Summary: 1 Stars
If Amazon.com let me, I would have rated this dvd NEGATIVE 5 stars. Some actors really do some movies that stink, but this is one of the very, very, very few movies Chevy Chase acted in that smell like it had been floating in a sewer for centuries. The true indication that comedy is uncreative is when they resort to nudity as a crutch. One scene was really obscene. The scene was a children's clown asking every non-kid to leave the room before he read sexually explicit passages from romance novels. If you are thinking of buying this, do this. Cash your paycheck. Pay your bills and with what is left, flush it directly down the toliet so you can cut out the middle man.
