Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the greatest movie that's ever been made or ever will be made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review ari v Laughed a couple of times, but through in the towel half way through or so. Just not my kind of funny. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member underrated and hilarious Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Must see cult classic no comdey act ever stood so takk Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review paul s I should have known that "critics" wouldn't get this. My cousin suggested this movie to me about 15 years ago telling me that it was "one of the funniest movies" he'd ever seen, and boy was he right. Today I watched it again after well over 10 years. It was so worth it because I had forgotten about some of the best parts. I can honestly tell you that this is HILARIOUS. Perry is priceless! He is a lovable and gullible ham. The short summary is that Perry was made to believe that he was cast in a movie called "Windy City Heat" and that he will be the next Robert DeNiro type movie star. Everyone else in the movie besides him is in on the joke. I think the imagination that went into this was absolutely amazing. There are a few parts that had me burst outloud laughing so fast and hard that I was literally in tears. It was the kind of uncontrollable laughter that has me thinking I could have a seizure or heart attack. Of course, this sort of thing has to be your cup of tea. This might not be for some because of the harsh language and dirty scenarios, but I'd pay 10 dollars or more a day to know I'd get these kinds of guaranteed hard laughs. 5 stars all the way. It's a MASTERPIECE COMEDY! Don Barris was fantastic, as were many others. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Miles Beller Los Angeles Times The producers reap their comedy product and Caravello collects his 15-plus minutes of fame as star of this endearingly goofy mock doc. Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Brian Gibson Film School Rejects While the film was funny at times, it was horribly boring at others. I sat patiently awaiting the ending that I thought would be coming. Read more at Film School Rejects: https://filmschoolrejects.com/dvd-windy-city-heat/#ixzz4uTrHnKdt Rated: D- Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Daynah Burnett PopMatters With such absurdity abounding, it's hard to gauge who should be insulted more: the audience or Perry. Rated: 2/10 Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Fred Topel Can Magazine It's all worth a watch. In an age where "reality" comedy is coming to the forefront with Jackass and Borat, Windy City Heat is a worthy brother in the genre. Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com Leave it to the minds behind Comedy Central's Crank Yankers to pull this off. What's unbelievable is that they have reportedly been pulling pranks on poor Perry for many, many years. Rated: 4/4 Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Josh Bell Las Vegas Weekly Windy City is either incredibly cruel or incredibly pointless; either way, it's immature, repetitive and unfunny. Rated: 1/5 Apr 30, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
