In case you missed it … ‘One, Two, Many’
Posted by Scott on May 12, 2008


You can go through at most big chain video stores and see about 15 different ‘National Lampoon Presents’ movies and a couple of things you are guaranteed: they are typically really Low Budget, and the comedy will be hit or miss. As of 2007 National Lampoon decided to start putting out its own movies again, and this is one of the first that it has done. I was actually quite surprised by it.

The movie stars John Melendez(who also wrote, and produced) which you probably only know him as Stuttering John from the Howard Stern Show. Well this is his first major gig as an actor and I must say I was pretty impressed with him. Some of the jokes were a little cheesy, but i think they were meant to be.

The story is centered around Thomas(Melendez) who is an out of work actor trying to find the right woman. The only problem is he definition of said woman. He wants to find one that doesnt have a problem bringing other women to bed. As most guys already know, this isnt usually an option. You watch him go on date after date with women and doesnt find the one that fits the mold. He gets a temporary acting gig where he meets Jennifer(played by the sexy Bellamy Young) and he explains what he is looking for to her. She seemed into it, and they launched a relationship. Eventually they try out their first threesome with a high priced prostitute, which goes awry when he has to make several trips to the ATM. Eventually they meet a singer and the threesome was successful, but with anything it was too good to be true. Jennifer’s insecurities come out and things hit the fan.

The movie has its moments, especially scenes with Jefferey Ross, who plays the best friend role. Its definitely worth renting if you are in the mood for a sexy, low budget-ish comedy, I wish it had gotten more press. I guess thats the case with any National Lampoon movie as of late.

I'll watch it again to see if I missed something.

I still say I miss his interviews, he was at his best doing that.

So some guy mamed Scott posted a good review on some website, and we are supposed to give that some credibility over all the other people who say that this movie stinks on ice? For all we know "Scott" is the same person who posted one of the phony positive reviews here or maybe Stuttering John himself. The only thing this movie has going for it is that it was so bad that it skipped theatrical release and went straight to DVD so it didn't have any known reviewers writing about how bad it is.... and at least someone named Scott liked it. LOL!

Ya know, I wasn't a big fan of Beer League Either (at least as a whole). There were some good moments, but not a movie I'd pop in every weekend.

Stinks on Ice? What the hell does that mean? Does that mean its good, cause usally when you put something on ice it doesn't stink. Oh wait I know what you mean Stinks on Ice like the term Howard uses almost on a daily basis now it makes sense, because you are a Howard sick a fan. Get you head out of Howards ass. God I feel so bad for you, you are so pathetic.

You're such an idiot. "Stinks on ice" is a phrase that has been used for about a hundred years. Howard Stern didn't invent that.

reply

Your an idiot for tracing the historical origin of Stinks On Ice, back a hundred years.

reply

"Stinks on ice" is referring to when dead bodies and meat from a butcher was put on ice to keep it from rotting right away. They did this practice,even further back than 1908 (which would make it more than a hundred years ago) So,REDMARIO (I mean stuttering John) you certainly are the idiot.
