Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Funny silly comedy but I love it. It's just fun. Joe Pesci is hilarious. Who knew he could be funny. Usually tough guy roles well except for Home Alone.

I remember owning an old VHS copy of this movie back in the eighties, and if memory serves, I pretty much played the movie ragged.The late great Rodney Dangerfield is the star of the movie without a doubt, his mannerisms, complete with his one liners always had me in stitches.Of course my VHS copy bit the dust, and I was most fortunate to spot that TCM were showing the movie just the other night, and although it had been twenty plus years since I had watched it, I still found myself laughing at the same points in the movie.Ably assisted in the comedy stakes by the likes of Joe Pesci before he found his Cousin Vinny, the whole movie does revolve around the maestro himself.I have to say, that when I was watching the movie, it's charm instantly transported my back to that early eighties, especially considering that Jennifer Jason Leigh was also in the movie playing Monty's nubile daughter.I remember watching her such genre classics as 'The Hitcher' and Paul Verhoeven's 'Flesh And Blood', overall though, the whole cast rocks, the director James Signorelli would go onto direct another little cracker in the shape of 'Elvira Mistress Of The Dark' And what about that ending, when Rodney Dangerfield waxes lyrical about his mother in law 'My Mother in law! For years I wouldn't kiss her face! Now I end up kissing her ass! Without a doubt, 10/10

This is one funny film. If you don't think so, it's understandable because growing up in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area may help you relate a bit better. All of the stereotypes of that area are there and because its that regional - it makes it the more funnier.Comedian Rodney Dangerfield is the patriarch of the family - a baby photographer who has a drug, gambling, sex, weight and alcohol problem but always managed to love and take care of his family. His wife, played by Candy Azzaraa is a more refined woman who's mother, played by the wonderful Geraldine Fitzgerald is wealthy and controlling as anything and wanted better for her daughter and her family. Rodney's older daughter, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh is about to become the virgin bride to a sassy Puerto Rican, played by the comic Taylor Negron while plucky younger daughter played by Lili Haydn tries to make sanity out of all of this.The grandmother mother 'dies' and even in death tries to control and shape her relatives via marriage by placing in her will that if Rodney looses weight, gives up drugs, extra martial affairs and alcohol in a year, the family would inherit her hundreds of millions of dollars fortune - if not, it all goes to her slimy, pompous assistant. Now the fight between who will receive the money begins and it is indeed funny.This film is full of great stand-up comedians of the time and funny early performances by Joe Pesci and Jeffrey Jones and a few others you've seen in Martin Scorecese films! (Yeah, its regional, even New Yorker Billy Joel Sings the theme song!) It's silly, low brow, low-rent and that is just the perfect vehicle for Rodney Dangerfield and co-horts. A very underrated comedy gem!

This was really the first true Rodney Dangerfield vehicle. It was clearly written with Rodney in mind, or at least edited to fit him after he signed on. As a result, a lot of scenes go nowhere and seem completely random - they're just showcases for some of that famous Rodney Humor. If another actor were cast in the role, the movie would be terrible because the flaws would be outstanding. But when it's Rodney, it all seems to fall into place.The plot involves Rodney's mother-in-law dying and leaving him her fortunes in her will - but only if he cleans up his act first. He has to stop smoking, drinking, doing drugs, and must begin eating healthier.Of course, this can't hold up an entire movie, so the first 35 minutes or so has nothing to do with the rest of the plot. It shows Rodney at home, it shows him hanging out with Joe Pesci, gambling, going to a strip club, etc. Then there is a really bizarre subplot involving his daughter's wedding that contains one long, rambling scene (without Rodney, surprisingly) that goes nowhere.However, Rodney fans will find his typical humor here to enjoy. It may not be as coherent as "Back to School" but it is still a fine showcase for his comedic talents and reveals why Rodney Dangerfield was one of the best comedians of all-time, regardless of how bad the movies he starred in usually were.
