If you know anyone who hasnt seen this movie, they are missing on of the best comedies ever.
"'Bad Santa' meets Bozo" is good way to describe it to the un-informed.
Also, possibly the only movie in which I like Robin Williams. Or Adam Sandler. Florence Henderson too.
Very underrated. Has a surreal feel to it.
shareI totally agree.
Very underrated, a brilliant black comedy, a gem of a movie!
It's not a great film by any strech, but there is something about it the just slays me. Honestly, pound-for-pound I don't think there is another movie that makes me laugh as hard as Shakes the Clown.
*Spoilers* Especially Especially ESPECIALLY the scene where Shakes gets power drunk and then goes berserk at the kids birthday part; smashing up the house and whatnot! I only dare watch that particular scene once a year or so and I have never watched it without being totally incapacitated for several minutes afterwards + I usually go around cracking up for a few days after as well.
IMO that is a Godlike scene of pure comedy!
SO much better than Bad Santa!
