I stopped watching after 5 minutes into the movie! TERRIBLE!


This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen in my whole life!


"It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises."

There's worse out there I'm sure.

You turned it off right before one of the unfunniest 'jokes' in the movie:


Thomas: "I just need to find a woman that will allow other women into bed with us. That, Derek, is my idea of the perfect woman."

Derek (Thomas's shrink): "Well, it could be hard to find a woman that accommodating. Perhaps we should call her the 'hard to find woman', hehehehehehehehehe..."


Seriously, how is that even remotely funny? If he hadn't laughed, I wouldn't have realized that was supposed to be a joke (that could also be said for the whole movie). That explains why Thomas's girlfriend was laughing the entire time...the whole movie is a joke.

in your "infinite wisdom", apparenty you don't get that it wasn't meant to be a funny "joke". it was just showing how ridiculous the psychologist was by laughing at himself. I I find it amazing how stern fans want to trash john just because he left the show.

reply

I find it amusing that you think anyone in their right mind believes you. Without question you have to be a friend,family member or intern at the TONIGHT SHOW w/JAY LENO. This movie was a substitue for the ancient Chinese water torture trick. Disgustingly bad. Highly unoriginal. Terribly written and acted. WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

reply

Um, I'm not a Stern fan and I didn't even know John had left his show. I'm just trashing the movie because it was a crappy movie.

the funniest movie ever!

I'm a Stern fan and I hated John on the show. He was classless and arrogant. Two reasons to dislike you John Melendez.

 National Lampoon’s
One, Two, Many… Is Hilarious


“It’s hilarious” One Two Many delivers comedy with greatness
Reviewed by: Graphic News / Writer Hannah Erickson

When I received the press release and a copy of the National Lampoon presents One, Two, Many for my review. I was both surprised an intrigued. I knew that Mr. Melendez had made a career change, and was now the announcer on The Jay Leno show. What I did not know was Mr. Melendez had a movie coming out, let alone was the star, writer, and producer of the movie. As a journalist I was never a big fan of the Howard Stern show. I never really listened enough to understand the dynamic or have an extreme like or dislike for the show until the Gennifer Flowers interview. That was by far one of the most incredibly courageous and enjoyable pieces of media I have ever scene, and my first introduction to John Melendez, known to most of the world as “Stuttering John”.

I decided to do a little research on Mr. Melendez. To my surprise I found out that along with his higher publicized accomplishments such as Stern & Leno, Mr. Melendez was a graduate of NYU film school, and key note speaker for the National Stuttering Association. Who knew?

I popped in the DVD.

At first I was a bit confused, before I got to the menu options I sat through what seemed to be a extra long set of trailers for upcoming and past National Lampoon films. I suggest you fast forward through them.

One Two Many is set in NYC, and takes the viewers on a journey of a man named Thomas who is played by John Melendez, Thomas is on a mission to find the woman of his dreams or shall I say to find a woman that could make his dream come true.

You are first introduced to Thomas (John Melendez) in his therapists office played by the very funny JM J. Bullock. Thomas clearly troubled dives right into to his session. If he could just find one woman that would be ok with allowing him to sleep with other woman all of his problems would be solved. As a woman this comes as no surprise to me. This is every man’s fantasy. Right? I clear my head from any chauvinistic feelings I might have, and remind myself this is a movie and this is his dream not mine. I continue to watch and within seconds I have the first of many laughs.
I find it quite refreshing that the writer gets directly to the point tells us what the objective is and in this case takes on his hilarious journey full of laughs, sentiment, and triumph. It left me wanting more.

I applaud Mr. Melendez for that. Frankly most movies I see take forever to set up the most predictable story line. Especially comedies. One Two Many…. get’s directly to the point, and does it with greatness. Not only did I laugh, but I experienced all kinds of emotion, and compassion for the lead character Thomas. First I hated him , Then I loved him, Then I felt bad for him. By the end of the film I genuinely was routing for him to have a threesome. What? Did I actually just write that?

This movie is funny well written, and directed. The cast is full of talent. Stand outs are John Melendez, JM J. Bullock, Bellamy Young, and Jeffery Ross.

Over all Rating: A
If you love to laugh and are looking for a great comedy, see this film.

Subtitles:
English subtitles for the hearing impaired are included.

Release Date:
DVD Release April 15, 2008

Feature-length audio commentary:
Narrated by director Michael DeLorenzo and John Melendez.
Filled with lots of interesting facts about the movie, and the making of the film

How much were you payed for that review? It's kinda funny, that same review is on Amazon.com as well. Does that mean that all the other websites/professional movie reviewers were wrong? I didn't see anything critiquing the acting. I've seen better acting in porn movies. Jay never saw the movie, at least Howard would have sat through this trash to be loyal to John.

I'm sure these guys are wrong too:

I am not a Stern fan and I hated this, but to be fair, I turned it off about 15 minutes into it. John, if you are reading this, stick with announcing or whatever. No offense dude, but this movie is horrible, and everything about it is horrible. The jokes, the acting, the directing, the story....awesomely bad. The whole thing was a totally amatuer effort. Yeah, I also fell for the National Lampoon name on it too. 2 stars.

-------------------------
Yeah, well...that's just, like, your opinion, man.

They showed the premier party on the tonight show and people were walking out. Melendez said it was the most embarrassing moment of his life as he witnessed it. He should have at least faked confidence and said the people must have had somewhere to be or something, but he must have known it was a garbage movie.
