Hot to Trot is a movie to make ninnies whinny, audiences gag and horses hide their heads.

It`s true that there has been a shocking dearth of talking-horse pictures lately, but even so, Hot to Trot has few pleasures to offer.

The humor is so low that it could justifiably be called subterranean.

The old talking-animal routine gets a bit of an update in that this time the animal is vulgar and profane in a way Mr. Ed or Francis the Talking Mule would never have been. But that's about the extent of the inventiveness in this unfunny comedy.

Though this film has been poorly reviewed by critics in general, i believe that this film is better received by kids. Bobcat's schtick, and john candy's humor were popular in the 80s for a reason. Much the same way Jim Carrey's humor works. Verbal/physical comedy. It is a good movie for kids. It's cheesy in a way that kids can enjoy. Adults may not enjoy the humor as much, but I wouldn't say that it's their kind of film. I would strongly recommend this film for kids interested in comedy. For fans of Bobcat and fans of John Candy. If they like Spaceballs and/or Police Academy, it's a fun film. It's a campy, cheesy, fun film. Silly in a good way.

Underachiever inherits half of a brokerage business and a talking horse from his mother. Pretty weak at times with Dabney Coleman being a bright spot as the stepfather. Was nice to see Bobcat and Tim Kazurinsky reunited.
