Movie Reviews of The Pest
Movie Review: Annoyingly Funny.
Summary: 3 Stars
Basically, this movie is a modern comical update of the famed short story, "The Most Dangerous Game". John Leguizamo stars as a Miami con man called "The Pest" (it's the shortened version of a really, really, really long name). The Pest gets in trouble when he finds himself owing the Miami Scottish (that's right, Scottish, kilts and all) mafia $50,000. He is accidently picked up by the henchman of an exiled Nazi (Jeffery Jones) and offered a "scholarship" for $50,000 if he agrees to participate in a little hunt. Little does Pest know that the Nazi has hunted every race of man but one, a Latino, and the Pest is to be his final victim before he returns to Germany as a free man.The movie moves fast from one location to another: Miami to an exotic private island back to Miami. The jokes are also thrown out fast and furious. Some of the stuff is pretty tame, but a lot of the humor is rather crude.
Overall, the movie doesn't have much plot but is rather a showcase for Leguizamo to show off his variety of talents.
Movie Review: Its in like sin!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Pest" is, by far, one of my favorite comedy films. It's so hilarious that you laugh the whole way through the film. John Leguizamo is one of the funniest and genius commedians on the planet. See this movie, and you'll know what I mean...Pest Vargas (Leguizamo) is the neighboorhood pest (Duh!). He lives in the suburbs of Lantio Miami, Florida, were his job isn't working or trading...it's conning. Being a master con-artist, he cons his way through the street of Miami, being anywhere from a Blind-card Tricker, to a Japanesee Business man. While being constantly hunted by the Scottish Mafia (yes, there is one), Pest comes across a German Business man, who claims to give Pest $50,000 for College spendings, just for doing a few tests and visits. But what Pest will find out, is that the Test...is to stay alive! It turns out to be that the man is a Neo-Nazi and a manhunter, whom wants to hunt every enthnic color and post their head on his hunting shelf, like a stuffed animal! If Pest stays alive for 24 hours, he gets the money. But if he doesn't, its the shelf. And so begins Pest's long and Hilarious escape from the Neo-Nazi, along with staying one foot ahead of the Scottish mob, while at the same time, trying to arive in time for dinner at his Girlfriend's house! Pest's buddies, Chubby (Mad TV's Aries Spears) and Ninja (Freddy Rodríguez) attempt to help Pest, while Pest's Girlfriend (Tammy Townsend) doesn't have a clue whats going on.
"The Pest" is on of the funniest movies of all time...

Summary: 2 Stars
This movie has the worst plot line ever, which is barely even there. Most of the time if a movie has no plot I don't give above a 1, but this movie is quite funny and if you're not looking for anything to hold you to the movie fine. It's like watching Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore with about 1/10 of the plot. This movie is not one you will want to watch over and over (more than likely) so rent it before you buy.
