Amazon.com Rodney Dangerfield plays an outrageous television talk show host who gets a network ultimatum to change his act. He responds by seeking an interview with Georgia's governor (David Ogden Stiers) and uncovers a hidden scandal. There are a handful of guilty pleasure moments, such as a scene in which Wally accidentally breaks the penis off one of the governor's marble statues and hides it in his pants pocket . . . you can guess the rest. Otherwise there's not much to write home about, except for a number of cameos, including Oprah Winfrey and Roseanne. --Tom Keogh

It's not "Back to School" or "Caddyshack", but it will work July 3, 2006 B.L. (Dallas, TX) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This movie is not quite as good as Caddyshack or Back To School, but it's still pretty funny... at least as funny as Easy Money. Something you have to know going into a Rodney Dangerfield movie is that you cannot expect the most cerebral movie you've ever seen. With that in mind, if you are looking for a Rodney Dangerfield movie where he does the whole silly one-liner thing, and you've already seen the other 3 movies I've mentioned then this movie will hit the spot.
My Tree July 2, 2004 magnetface (Mayor's Income, TN) 4 out of 16 found this review helpful
This movie has a lot of good performances, especially by the actors. I have to admit that this movie has special meaning for me, however, because of Rodney Dangerfield. In my front yard I have a tree that looks EXACTLY like Rodney Dangerfield, I mean EXACTLY. Just the other day a motorist driving by yelled "Hey, your tree looks like Rodney Dangerfield!" I'm hoping to put up a website with a picture of this tree soon so keep your eyes peeled.Also, be warned: this DVD is in the overrated widescreen format. I was one of the very few supporters of the tallscreen format that enjoyed a mild popularity in mid-late April 1996 (only 3 films were shot in this unusual aspect ratio-"The Tall Guy," "Tall Marge," and "Big & Tall"). Needless to say, on my Tall-Screen Television set (60 inches high by 5 inches wide), I have to put up with enormous black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Nonetheless, this movie tells a great story. I would recommend ordering this item from Amazon (at least for us fat cats who own mailboxes).
Possibly the Funniest Rodney Movie EVER!!! January 9, 2004 joeykay@hotmail.com (Canada) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
While the plot of this movie lacks some of the more substance-filled plots of "Back To School" or "Easy Money" (relatively speaking... really, who ever thought the words Rodney Dangerfield and substance could be put together) this is, without a doubt, the funniest Dangerfield movie ever. Between boob-shaped TV rating charts, broken penile humour, and a cast of cameos including Ron Jeremy, this movie will leave you on the floor from start to finish. As usual, Dangerfield attempts to insert some shallow piece of social commentary (which any kindergarten student could see through), but all in all, I have never laughed as hard in my life as when I watched this movie. A must-see!!!
