Good concept, poorly executed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Very strange and somewhat demented black comedy that really plays more like a Road-Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoon than a live action motion picture. Tom Selleck takes in his elderly parents (Don Ameche and Anne Jackson) after his father accidentally burns down their home. Immediately everything comes apart for Selleck as he and his sexy wife (Wendy Crewson) start to have marital problems, then he is investigated for possible insider trading by FBI man Michael Murphy, then his crazed sister (Christine Ebersole) and her unruly kids move in after they are evicted and the hits keep coming when Ebersole starts to fool around with Selleck's door man (Robert Pastorelli). Things are going from bad to worse fast and then Jackson pleads with Selleck to kill her and Ameche (no kidding). Selleck's financial woes and the fact that Ameche is suffering the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease are the reasons for Jackson's request. Selleck naturally is torn with what to do, while Ebersole thinks it is a great idea (she obviously has a heart of gold, haha). Soon Selleck tries and tries to have his parents knocked off so he can collect their insurance, but their safety is never really in danger. Instead he is the one who might end up dead trying to come through. I must admit that I like this film a little more than I dislike it. It is a bargain-basement effort and the ideas are no better than those that a junior high student would come up with. With that said, the cast is first-rate and actually make the story come to life with quirky situations and surprisingly hilarious dialogue. There is a darkness to this picture though as there are questions raised about Alzheimer's Disease (a disease that is so tough on everyone who has seen it firsthand) and the rights of elderly people who do not want to lose one another to death. I guess the main problem with me here is tone as I laughed, but did not always feel good laughing at these characters. Ameche is a revelation (as he always seemed to be) and the other primary players are talented performers. Overall I got stuck in the middle with "Folks!", but this is still a picture that deserves a little more credit than it has received. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

There is a twist in this movie which is hard to believe and not convincingly brought across. I don't want to write a spoiler, so if you are about to watch this movie, just prepare for simply believing everything. Then you may enjoy the the film, if you don't expect a very high quality level.In general, you have to be quite generous to this movie to like it. The mood of the film is disbalanced in a disturbing way. The film is definitely supposed to be a comedy but there are few, unsatisfying attempts of criticism on how society deals with elderly people. These should have been extended or left out. The story also has it's weak points. For instance, there is exactly one scene, where Don Ameche (who is, by the way, perfectly cast) wins his mind again and talks to his son as if he was normal. This happens never again later, although one would expect it. Another leave-out suggestion.Apart from that, "Folks!` is a turbulent and quite black comedy, not suitable for bad nerves. It's the kind of movie, where everything goes wrong that can go wrong, and there is one character who gets more and more hits from life because he is too warm-hearted. If you enjoyed that, watch the Austrian movie "Hinterholz 8`. The humour of it is not as crude as in "Folks!` but the pity towards the main character is even stronger.
