I love this movie so much
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
(Some Spoilers) Laugh a minute comedy with the amazing "Fat Boys"-Markie Buffy & Cool-all together weighing almost a half a ton doing their thing, rap-music & Three Stooges-like comedy routines, and at the same time stopping the sleazy Winslow Lowry form having his Uncle Albert Dennison done in.Winslow has been losing heavily at both the race tracks and casinos and is into local West Palm Beach gangster Luis Montana for a cool 600 G's. Told to come up with the cash and fast if he doesn't want to end up at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea Winslow's only chance to pay Montana off is to get his rich but very ill Uncle Albert to see his maker as soon as possible if not sooner.With the orderlies looking after Uncle Albert doing an excellent job in keeping him alive and kicking Winslow fires them and hirers in their place Brooklyn nursing home orderlies Markie Buffy and Cool. Winslow knows that they, in how incompetent they are on the job, will eventually do in Uncle Albert and make it possible for him to inherit his millions. Money that Winslow desperately needs, if he wan't to continue living, to pay off mobster Luis Montana.Going from the slums of East New York Brooklyn to the wealthy social register town of West Palm Beach had the Fat Boys for once do their job in actually getting the almost comatose Uncle Albert on his feet and out of his bed and wheel chair. This all was done by the Fat Boys' unorthodox way of doing things which was to lose all of Uncle Albert's medication, by using the pills as chips to play cards with, and have the old guy just let his hair down and go boogie woogie at the local roller disco.Winslow now determined to take out Uncle Albert himself since, to his bitter surprise, the bumbling orderlies the three Fat Boys who were to unknowingly do him in actually not only got Uncle Albert out of his sickbed but now have him playing polo and skin diving at the age of 82 no less! It's then when Winslow & Montana plan to blow up Uncle Albert's estate, with him in it, with it looking like a robbery/murder and trying to pin it on the totally innocent Fat Boys! The very people who have not only cured Uncle Albert but protected him from his nephew who's out to put him away for good.Putting the leather to the gas peddle the Fat Boys are at their best here in "The Disorderlies" not only in their slap stick comedy but rap songs, there are ten of them in the movie, that includes hits like "Baby your a Rich Man" and "Disorerly Conduct". As you would expect in seeing how the Fat Boys stymied Winslow & Co. all throughout the movie this last desperate attempt by Winslow to do in Uncle Albert eventually falls flat on its face. ***SPOILER*** Winslow not only ends up behind bars but with a severe case of hemorrhoids, due to a gunshot wound, in him foolishly trying to make himself a victim, in throwing off the police, and hero at the same time. P.S The Fat Boys, originally known as the Dsco 3, career came to a sudden end by the time the rap-music 1980's scene ended. Breaking up and going their separate ways the Fat Boys, in trying to get back together, planned a reunion album in 1995 but that was tragically abandoned when Buffy, Darren Robisnson, suddenly passed away. Weighing an enormous 450 pounds Buffy's obesity eventually did him in the end. Buffy was doing what he loved rapping with his friends, at his home in Queens New York, when he went into cardiac arrest and died of a massive heart attack at the young age of 28.
This movie was okay. It was kind of a slapstick feature. There wasn't any good acting, because, remember, these were the fat boys. Not real actors. So it was an okay movie, but just remember to dumb it down... This movie was okay. It was kind of a slapstick feature. There wasn't any good acting, because, remember, these were the fat boys.

Disorderlies is one of the more funny flicks to come out of the late eighties. Though it doesn't have much of a following, the movies does have some redeeming qualities that make it worth a rental.The plot follows 3 young men, Marky, Buffy, and Kool through getting fired from a low rate Nursing home. Lucky for them (or so they think) Winslow Lowry is right there to offer them a new job caring for his Uncle Albert.What the boys don't know is that Winslow actually wants his Uncle to die so that he can inherit Albert's huge fortune. On top of that, Mr. Winslow is in debt to Mr. Montana, a ruthless criminal mastermind. If Winslow doesn't get the money within 3 weeks, he's dead.Winslow's plan quickly backfires as he finds out that his new Orderlies have actually helped Albert feel young again.The movie itself is hilarious. It follows the tradition of the Three Stooges. The constant slap fights and kicks in the backside between the fat boys will keep you stomach in pain from laughter. Ralph Bellamy is great in his role as Albert Dennison. He keeps the movie fresh and alive. While Anthony Geary plays a perfect seedy bad guy.The Soundtrack is also great. The Fat Boys have some pretty catchy tunes throughout the movie, including a hilarious performance for the camera.Give it a Rent, while it's not for everyone, it may just make you laugh out loud a few times.
I remember going to see this movie at the now boarded up Criterion Center in Manhattan when I was around 7 or 8. Me and my friend enjoyed it thoroughly, although I am not sure theres much more to say about that from the mind of an 8 year old. Back then, The Fat Boys were huge with kids- even if they didnt listen to them, like me- I cant say I ever really disliked them. This movie is typical formula, its got that "vibe" edge to it that makes it so appealing- a formula stolen upon in the alter sexes comedy "BAPS" where unsuspecting folks from "the hood" end up under the wing of a multi-millionaire and their estate. This brings the possibility of many possible wily antics- that could have, if done correctly- in this case AT ALL made an overall better, more enjoyable film. Of course, this was pg-13, so although I said I liked it at 8, it has only nostalgic momentum with little to no replay value with me- today. Too bad huh, they (hollywood execs) make it pg-13 so they can appeal to a larger crowd, but in the longrun- it ends up appealing to no crowd. Or possibly the 99 cent rental at the local mom n pop video store. It really is a shame...
