just saw this one on...Comedy Central? what are the odds of that???
Yes its true...I watched it last night at 2 in the morning on Comedy Central and lo and behold its gonna be on again this afternoon....
in one of the imdb user comments section someone says that its the crown jewel in the constant cavalcade of movies being shown on comedy central...and this was in 2001!!!!
actually it was a pretty cute movie...i'd seen bits and pieces of it over the years on c.c. but last night was the first time i'd finally watched it straight thru and you know what??? as a whole its actually far far better then watching it in bits and pieces...i'm not sure why that is...i guess obviously the story makes more sense that way...but it was definitely cute. Cheech could definitely hold down a movie! (not that was in doubt but still between this and Born in East LA, he could have easily been given a couple more leading roles and been able to carry them off with no problem. meh what you gonna do.)
anyways...it was decent enough...kind of like one of them their sitcom movies...the kind of movie that could easily pass as a half hour sitcom but somehow becomes an hour and a half. One day i'd like to make a sitcom movie with completely self-aware characters who know they're in a sitcom plot and resolve to do the opposite thing that a sitcom character would do. oh well a man can dream right? a man can dream!
this was definitely cute though...i wonder why the director took his name off it...its light years better then another movie that the director left his name on--Mr.Nanny. Was this version studio altered and he hated having it butchered so he took his name off it??? anyone know? just asking.
by the way turn on comedy central right now! if its not on now it will be within a couple days guaranteed! at least its better then caddyshack 2.
