    3 out of 5 stars A COMEDY SO STUPID, IT'S FUNNY!.......2006-09-20

    There are those certain comedy films you cannot describe why you like them. All you know is that there is some sort of appeal that you find humorous. We all have them. This is one of mine. The movie will not win any awards, and is not in the pantheon of all time great comedies, but I found the film hilarious. I don't know why, I just do. We are ALL entitled to these little inane comedies.

    Sven Sorenson (Marlon Brando) stars as the corrupt warden known as 'SWEDE'. And 'Swede' is a ridiculous, and totally corrupt warden who does not hesitate to murder, lie, falsify charges, anything for that matter he deems necessary. Enter two idiots who are to become his newest son-in-laws. Bud (Martin Sheen) and Larry (Thomas Haden Church) who have been fooled into marrying the 'Swedes' twin daughters. Life is already miserable for Bud now that he is a married man; and he devises a plan to get rich: Robbing the money train passing through town.

    Moreover, Bud enlists the help of a reluctant Larry. Of course, in Bud's stupidity he decides to use the 'Swedes' brand new truck to carry out this mission. [The truck is subsequently destroyed by the train] And when 'Swede' discovers that Bud is the one that is responsible, he goes to great lengths to see that Bud is incarcerated in his prison. All the while 'Swede' is hounded by FBI agent Karen Polarski (Mira Sorvino) To be honest, I laughed at all the absurdities of this film. Like I wrote before, it won't win any awards, but it sure had me in stitches. And isn't that the point of a comedy?

    I recommend the film for it's silly and inane laughs. Rent the film. I own it. [STARS: 3.5]

    5 out of 5 stars Humorous.......2004-05-18

    This movie made me laugh. In addition to the comic elements, it had an interesting group of actors. I hadn't expected too much from the film, so it was a pleasant surprise.

    5 out of 5 stars One Of My Favorites.......2002-08-27

    This is one of my favorite movies. I'm a fan of offbeat comedies like Stay Tuned, FRAUDS, Austin Powers and George of the Jungle, so this fits in my collection perfectly.
    Thomas Haden Church really stands out as the dumb, loveable, cuddly Larry Lumstrum. He has an unusual shock of yellowish white hair, odd for him, he has golden blonde hair!
    Larry might remind viewers of Lowell Mather from Wings. To tell you the truth, Larry IS Lowell Mather with white hair.
    My favorite scene has to be when Larry is stuck in the black Dodge truck as the train is zooming for the vehicle. It reminds one of Marty McFly trying to jump out of the doomed DeLorean near the end of Back To The Future Part III.

    4 out of 5 stars Brando has fun.......2001-09-01

    The picture is by no means great, but for the first time in decades Brando is clearly having fun here, and there is no actor more enjoyable to watch have fun than Marlon Brando. It is by no means his best performance, but as he chews the scenery, savoring every bite he is a joy to watch.
