Movie Reviews of The Pest
Movie Review: You Either Love It Or Hate It... I LOVE It!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is less of a movie than it is more of a spotlight for John Leguizamo. In my opinion, this guy is one of the most underrated actors of our time. He has the ability to play many different characters and he is always awesome. This movie shows off his comic ability to the utmost degree. It simply amazes me to watch him in this role. He is non-stop crazy. I read some reviews where people said they were annoyed with his character... Duh! It's called The Pest! He is supposed to be annoying! But at the same time, he is so damn funny! A great physical comedian, great impressionist, great joke teller... everything he does in this movie is so right on. But it is true, either you are going to love this movie or hate it. You can't really watch this movie and say "It was okay." It grows on you or it doesn't. I'd also like to say that my 5 year old daughter loves this movie. The opening shower scene alone is insanely funny and gets us rolling everytime. Watch this movie and turn off your serious meter for awhile. Just enjoy The Pest in all his crazyness. If you want a serious movie and role in which Mr. Leguizamo knocks it out of the park, check out Carlito's Way. If you want to laugh your face off... get The Pest. I personally like his Irish accent better than anything else I have ever heard. When he slips into that Irish accent I just about fall off the chair.Movie Review: It's official! The Pest is a non-stop laugh riot.
Summary: 5 Stars
Comedian John Leguizamo stars in the funniest film ever made as a scam artist who lets a group of neo-Nazis hunt him so he can gain $50,000 to pay off bets he placed with the fictional Scottish mob. Jeffery Jones co-stars as a native of Germany who has succesfully hunted all races of human beings except for one: Latino. His son, Himmell, (Eduardo Ballini) is the exact opposite of what his father is as evidented in his outragously funny one-liners (e.g. "I want to grow up to be a hair dresser and write musicals."). The Pest is helped out often in the film by his two nutty friends, Ninja (Freddy Rodriguez) and Chubby (Aries Spears). They provide their own brand of slapstick humor into the bubbling brew of comedy which every character provides ingredients to. It's very sad to see how underrated The Pest is, seeing how thousands of people (including myslef) believe this film to be the funniest movie ever made. It has everything a comedy needs and so much more. I strongly to encourage everyone to go out and rent "The Pest." You'll lose your voice laughing.Movie Review: It's official! The Pest is a non-stop laugh riot.

Movie Review: It knocked me out of my chair
Summary: 5 Stars
Being that this film was a parody of "The Most Dangerous Game" (1996) [says, TLA Video] and John Woo's (yes, him) "Hard Target" (1993) ["The Pest" (1997) most closely resembles "Hard Target", which did win awards from Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA]. It most likely is inspired and adapts from both films--both serious films while this was a farce and satire. Perhaps not politically correct if analyzing those "Quacky" and karaoke scenes?
Some would say too much emphasis on bodily humor, but this is a film about hunting--the outdoors--where men (& women) squat and use pheremones ["Father, I feel funny"] to attract prey!
John Leguizamo vs. Jean-Claude Van Damme? Does it get any funnier?
It goes on the shelf next to "Beyond Therpay" and "Sibling Rivalry".
Movie Review: Man Imitates Bugs Bunny
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie did not do well in the theaters, it got bad reviews, even Leguizamo has apologized for it. I don't care: this was one of the funniest movies ever! It has Jeffrey Jones, the guy from "Howard the Duck" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now you know a film has to be hilariously corny if he is in it. The great thing about this movie is how Leguizamo acts like a live, human version of Bugs Bunny. This is the type of slapstick rarely seen in modern films. Further, Leguizamo mocks all people who think of race in solely black&white terms by his ethnic drag of all cultures. Too funny. And the "Latinus S___ticus" gag was rollover funny! I hated the homophobia and how gayness is rendered white only (as if Miami doesn't have many Latino, black, and Asian gay men), but still this movie is great!
