This movie sucked!!


I watched about 45 minutes and gave up on it. I am a huge Danny Aiello fan, but he lost it unfortunately with age. He tries too hard to be funny and it doesn't work here. It was interesting seeing an aging Barbara Feldon (in her 70's but still is hot)for a couple of scenes, but that's about it. Starts out with sexually and nerdy repressed church choir boy and his stud brother who's dying father's last request is that he gets married. So the Stud brother gets married and while on his honeymoon (I Think) he croaks while getting laid. You see his wife's screams of ecstasy is enough to break glass, so a glass shard falling on him from a mirrored ceiling does him in. (Believe it or not)(funny,not)So that leaves the nerdy son, and now I think the father's last request is that he gets laid.(never explained that) Weird premise that gets boring fast. They try to satirize the Godfather's Don Corleone with a sexual escort Godmother. Dumb and not funny. Oh yea, and there is nothing funny about seeing an elderly woman fall down a flight of stairs and then she lays at the foot of the stairs the whole movie with out anyone helping her as she tries to be funny. I found this to be disturbing (I think they were going for a naked gun type humor here, and it's not even close) That's when I bagged it. I had enough. Disturbing and weird movie to avoid here. 4.3 is well deserved, although I'd give it a generous 2.0.

I agree, Sean. I am bitter that I lost an hour of my life trying to watch this garbage. My question is..how could such (normally) fine actors think this movie was a good idea? At times, it was painful to watch as these actors completely embarrassed themselves with the horrid script.

Ok, 10 minutes in and I saw the "Jiffy Birth" scene and immediately turned away. I cannnot honestly see any benefit coming out of the making of this movie; terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible directing, and no effort to at least pick some decent actors. If not for the R rating I would've likely sent an angry letter to the cast and crew of this movie...I have not seen a worse movie in a very long time. Sean, I think your rating of 2.0 is quite generous. I would say this is a 1.5 at best. Unless the apocolypse arrives and the only things left on Earth are you and a TV set with "The Last Request" playing, this movie should never be viewed by the eyes of sane humans.
