Matt Brunson Film Frenzy [UPDATED 2025 REVIEW] The mock shows created for MBC (H.O.T. B.O.D.S. and Levar, the pimp series Nunzio's Girls, etc.) are inspired. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 24, 2016 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Television has changed so dramatically since 1984 that the film has lost a lot of its direct relevance. There's still fun to be had, it's just that the sting isn't as great as it likely was when it initially aired. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 18, 2016 Full Review BBC.com Rated: 4/5 Oct 13, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Good acting from the leads who win you over with their charismatic performances. But the story itself really drags it's feet and the humour is too on the nose. One of those drama-comedy movies that doesn't really tick either box. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review R B Easily one of Danny Devito's best comedic performances. Suprised at the low rating from other reviewers. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
