Campy and stupid sketch comedy/TV parody.

some of them are 100 %, some bore

Like any sketch film, this is hit or miss. A few really funny scenes, like the invisible man bit, but for every one of those there are two or three unfunny ones. At least someone was giving Russ Meyer some work . . .

The Arsenio Hall bit is funny, the first time. Some of these skits really suck arse, but they bounce back and forth enough to entertain you. Definite rental.

Eh, it plaes in comparison to Kentucky Fried Movie, but I'll still watch it and laugh. It does have Andrew Dice Clay at his height, among a few other notables.

Great parodic movie on the less pretty sides of the American Society in general and more precise the movie and tv industry in the States, showing an average tv evening in an American household. Fantastic humour with a twist, great sketches with renowned actors in some pretty embarassing roles (Guttenberg, Pfeiffer ...).

Griffin Dunne, Ed Begley Jr., and Rip Taylor are pretty funny in their respective skits - the vast majority of it is pretty bad, though.

Almost so bad that's it's good - the kind of movie you like but feel guilty about it. Be sure to see the skit that is AFTER the end credits! Grab the beer & popcorn and get ready for some big laughs!

One of those schlocky movies that works, which are sadly not made anymore.

No where near as funny as it tries to be

Not on the same level as Airplane! or Spaceballs, but there's still good material here. Some of the gags fall pretty flat, and the titular segment is never nearly as funny on purpose as the films it spoofs were unintentionally. There's a lesson to be learned, though: the funniest parodies are the ones played completely straight. Don "No Soul" Simmons is probably my favorite bit.

Sparsely amusing but cute sketch/vignette film that hasn't dated too well. The movie is about as funny as an average episode of SNL, and not actually comparable to, say, a Zucker/Abrahams film. It does have some nice moments, but at the most it elicits smiles rather than laughter.

No.

Movie in episodes with John Landis and Joe Dante in command and a bunch of stars, a comedy nonsense and even politically incorrect at times, but I dont laughs, only a few smiles.

Some great moments (the Arsenio Hall opening sequence and the Loch Ness Monster skit) are dragged down by some horrible ones (the funeral parlor abomination). And then there's Ed Begley's butt. Well, you decide.

There were a number of these sketch-spoof films in the 80s, and this was one of the higher-profile ones; that doesn't make it good. A very lame script by Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland keeps a fine cast from arousing many laughs (the best sketch, a 30s VD-film parody with Carrie Fisher and Paul Bartel, comes in the middle of the credits); a few good jokes here and there don't overcome the general shittiness, and the ultimate feeling is one of much wasted opportunity.

This scattershot anthology, much in the manner of Landis's earlier _Kentucky Fried Movie_, has more hits than misses and is a lot of fun. Best segments: on-target B&W spoofs of _The Invisible Man_ and old sex education films; a day in the life of playmate Gabrielle; the title parody of sci-fi cheapies like _Queen of Outer Space_; and all the abuse heaped upon poor Arsenio. Better than you'd think.

Such a waste of what could have been a great sci-fi film with pointless [lack of] comedy thrown in.

It has me laughing!
