Funny Farm

Product Description

When andy and elizabeth buy a farm in vermont they cant imagine the trouble that awaits them. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/12/2006 Starring: Chevy Chase Kevin Omorrison Run time: 101 minutes Rating: Pg Director: George Roy Hill

Amazon.com

George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) directed this 1988 comedy that gives star Chevy Chase one of his better-quality vehicles. Chase plays a New York sportswriter who turns to the country for a simpler, happier way of living. He discovers, of course, that things dont work out that way. Hills usual touch with comic timing, tone, and dialogue give Chase a rare career opportunity to be part of something a little classier than most of his other movies but Funny Farm nevertheless has its share of so-what gags. Still, the films overall tone is winning and laid-back, and it makes for nice escapist fare. --Tom Keogh

I think I have now seen this movie about 40 times. I just had to buy it on DVD since my VCR has died.
I have even had a dog and named it Yellow Dog LOL.
Very much worth the watch. Classic.

Classic Chevy Chase
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
This movie isnt usually hyped as a Christmas film but I watch it every holiday season. Chevy Chase is his predictable clueless, bumbling self, but isnt that what we love about him? He and his wife, the always hot Jennifer Esposito, think they have found their dream home. With problems from the day they move in it only gets worse once they meet the townspeople. Finally having enough of each other and the town, they embark on plan to sell their house by paying the citizens to dress and act like characters from the covers of Saturday Evening Post. Norman Rockwell come to life. Of course things do not work out exactly as planned, but still a happy ending!

Terribly underated, hilarious and to die for Vermont scenery!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This is one of my favorite comedies. Everyone I show it to laughs hard throughout it,and I still do,as well.

Andy quits his job as a sports writer and plans on the peace and quiet of Vermont country life to be an aid to writing the novel he has always wanted to write.

The story is about the misadventures that he and his wife Elizabeth experience,and there are so many with wacky town residents,a maniacal mailman,worthless dogs,and other critter adventures,and through it all scenery that is absolute eye-candy.

I highly recommend this one for lots of laughs.

Fletch (The "Jane Doe" Edition)

Fletch (The "Jane Doe" Edition)

Amazon.com

Gregory McDonalds lightweight mystery novel about an undercover newspaper reporter cracking a police drug ring is transformed by screenwriter Andrew Bergman (Blazing Saddles, and writer/director of The Freshman and Honeymoon in Vegas) into a fairly sarcastic and occasionally very funny Chevy Chase vehicle. Enjoyment of the film pivots on whether you find Chases flippant, smart-ass brand of verbal humor funny, or merely egocentric. If you dont like Chase, theres really no one else worth watching (Geena Davis is sadly underused). Chase seems born to play I.M. "Fletch" Fletcher, a disillusioned investigative reporter whose cynicism and detached view on life mirrors the actors understated approach to comedy. Fletcher offers Chase the opportunity to adopt numerous personas, as his job requires numerous (bad) physical disguises, and much of films humor centers on the ridiculous idea that any of these phony accents or bad hairpieces could fool anyone. These not-so-clever disguises are put to use when Fletch becomes involved in the films smart but continually self-mocking two-part mystery. As well as trying to gather drug-smuggling evidence against the LAPD for a long-overdue newspaper story, a rich and apparently terminally ill stranger also offers Fletch a large payoff to kill him. While the film does a fairly good job juggling both of these plots, not to mention tossing in a love interest as well, its subservient, for better or worse, to Chases memorable one-liners and disguises. Followed by two forgettable sequels that lack both the originals wit and Chases attention span. --Dave McCoy

Description

Chevy Chase is at his hilarious best as Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, a newspaper reporter who changes his identity more often than his underwear. While working on a drug expose, he stumbles onto a scam that gets him up to his byline in murder, police corruption and forbidden romance. For this ace newsman, itll be the story of the year, if he can only stay alive till the deadline. Featuring all-new bonus features, Fletch: The "Jane Doe" Edition is a must-own comedy-thriller classic. Just dont call him "Irwin"!

Not at all what Id expected having seen other Chevy Chase comedies. The very idea of disguising the main character was pretty good, but what kills the film is an almost absolute lack of plot.

Yet another bad movie in a lengthy string of losers for all three of the principals involved here: director John Landis and stars Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase. Chase and Aykroyd play a pair of bumbling would-be CIA agents who are spotted cheating on the entrance exam. So the CIA decides to use them as bait in a mission to flummox the Russians. Lots of pointless slapstick and mugging, but Landis hasnt made a genuinely funny film since Trading Places. Aykroyd and Chase seem smug and self-satisfied (dont they always?), as though they can rest forever on laurels earned during the 1975 season of Saturday Night Live. Look for a gaggle of film directors (Terry Gilliam, Joel Coen, Costa-Gavras) in cameo roles: thats the closest this film comes to cleverness. --Marshall Fine

Classic Cold War Comedy
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Whether you grew up during the Cold War or afterwards, youll love this comedic reminiscence of the Reagan era. In my opinion, this is Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd at their finest. Basically theyre low level government employees who get caught cheating on departmental exams. The CIA needs two decoys for an important spy operation, so they are chosen, and eventually end up in Pakistan and the Soviet Union.

I own close to 300 movies and this movie is near the top of my favorite all time movies. Enjoy!

Intelligence insulting
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :1
I was extremely disappointed with this film. Its a terrible shame because I love Dan Akroyd! It just wasnt funny at all. At some points I was bored to the point of wanting to go to sleep. Chase and Akroyds characters never reached the potential they seemed to have at the beginning of the film, and the attempts at humor were ridiculous (in a bad way). Im not sure how this has 4 stars here on amazon. I generally love comedies and am rarely ever disappointed with a movie, but thats exactly what happened with this one. Surely pass this one up.

Slapstick 80s comedy
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :0
Premise: Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase are actually caught cheating on the Foreign Service exam and "promoted" to be spies.

It is a funny movie, with some great sequences. It seems like the kind of movie that would be funnier the second or third time around - or maybe late at night. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it wasnt the type of movie I would seek out again. Somewhat crude humor - not one for the family, but a fun movie overall.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Amazon.com

Freddy Benson (Steve Martin) is a crass, loud American. Laurence Jameson (Michael Caine) is a suave, urbane European. Their common ground is that they both are confidence men, and they meet in a train compartment as Benson is scamming his way across Europe, taking advantage of womens generosity. The two are forced into a rivalry, which culminates in a wager to see who can be the first to bilk $50,000 out of American heiress Janet Colgate (Glenne Headly). Their game of one-upmanship is, of course, brought to ridiculous heights as things progress. Written by Paul Henning (the mind behind such TV shows as Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is an uneven but funny mix of Martins physical comedy and Caines oily charms. Martins first role as cohort is to assume the persona of Ruprecht, the "special" younger brother intended to scare off potential brides. As Ruprecht, he comes off as a cross between The Andy Griffith Shows Ernest T. Bass and Jerry Lewis hilarious as it is, it doesnt quite fit with the rest of the film. Once the wager is on, though, Martin slips into his overly earnest mode as an American military man suffering from hysterical paralysis, with Caine as a psychologist who takes on his case. All in all, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (a loose remake of the 1964 film Bedtime Story with David Niven and Marlon Brando) is a droll, intelligent comedy, short on knee slappers but long on comic situations and characterizations. --Jerry Renshaw

Description

Ones got a sophisticated, suave and debonair con act. The others got...well, an act. Together, Steve Martin and Michael Caine are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and theyre absolutely ruining the Riviera in this "hilarious battle of wits and double-crosses" (Boxoffice) that "couldnt be more delightful" (The Wall Street Journal)! Martin is Freddy Benson, a smalltime conman sleazing his way through Europe on whatever handouts he can scam. Caine is Lawrence Jamieson, an impeccably dressed and high-minded artiste who thinks Freddy is giving himand all con mena bad name. At first, Lawrence agrees to help Freddy spruce up his talents and his wardrobe. But when it becomes apparent that the Riviera isnt big enough for the both of them, they make awinner-take-all wager over the fortunes of a naive American soap heiress (Glenne Headly): the firstone to "clean her out" can make the other clear outand keep the Riviera and its unsuspecting tourists to himself!

In A Word: Hilarious!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
I really dont watch this movie often enough. The few times Ive seen it over the years provide superior entertainment, but its a film I seem to forget about. That shouldnt be the case: its a terrific movie.

Ive never met anyone who did NOT like this film. It seems to appeal to a lot of people, young and old. The three leads - Steve Martin, Michael Caine and Glenn Headley - were all in top form, on top of their "game," so to speak.

Martins facial expressions and physical humor are terrific and Caine played his part magnificently, too. I enjoy Caine much more in here than Martin (and in most films) but Steve seems to have the funniest moments in this movie. At any rate, both are superb as antagonists "Lawrence Jamison" (Caine) and "Freddie Benson" (Martin). The two men have the talent to pull off slapstick as well as subtle comedy. Headley, as "Janet Colgate," meanwhile, is a joy to watch and to listen to, with that sweet voice of hers. I cant say more about her without giving away too much but she is not only the objection of attention in the movie, but the key character. These three combine for almost a laugh-a-minute.

This also is a good example of how to make a modern-day comedy without all the sleaze and profanity. Its highly recommended.

A Classic Comedy
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
An American con-man who strives for the quick cash, a Suave European con artist who prefers the more organized and high paying con.What do you get when these two men collide?, you get one of the most treasured comedies to date. Steve Martin plays an American con artist who has his sights on Europe. While traveling by train he meets the greatest con artist in all of Europe ,who is played by Michael Caine.Michael Caines character appears to con by a strict set of rules, as he plans every detail and he never cons anyone who cant afford it. Upon running into the latest victim of Caines sceems, Steve Martin uses his knowledge of the crime to black-mail Michael Caine into teaching him the art of the Big Con.What follows are some of the most hilarious scenes of comedy in film history.After performing in several con jobs and recieving nothing but knowledge Steve Martin decides that it is time to up the stakes the two men agree on a wager to steal an enourmous amount of money from a wealthy woman whoever loses must leave Europe for good.Steve Martin decides to portray a wounded war veteran "Freddy", whos mother needs an opertation and whos fiancee has left him, While Caine decides to portray the good doctor "Emil Schuafhousen", who is just the man to treat Freddys symptoms.Slowly each man begins to fall for the lovely "Janet", and soon the wager changes from money to Love. The ending of the film is a shocking conclusion that leaves the veiwer gasping.In conclusion, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is an absolutely wonderful comedy that all can enjoy, with an excellent cast and story such as this, you cant go wrong. Thank you for your time.

Always fun
