Summary: Mildly Amusing
Review: Most of the experience I've had with MST3K were the episodes starring Mike Nelson. And when I saw this movie, I realized why. The film was bad, which was expected, but the comments from Joel, Crow, and Tom were not as amusing as I would've liked them to be. In fact, there were several times when I came up with a comment about a scene in "I Accuse my Parents" that was far funnier than anything they said. I didn't even watch the whole movie at once, which I usually do as a Mistie, because it was so un-humorous and the movie was so boring that I found more interesting things to do. I kept wishing that it would get funnier and it never did.
If you want a good MST3K episode, buy "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" which stars Mike Nelson instead of Joel and is very funny. Joel is mediocre at best in comparison to Mike.

Summary: One of the Funniest DVD's
Review: This is one of the funniest DVD's that I have seen of MST3K. I have a nice collection of tapes and DVD's and find "I Accuse My Parents" to be one of the funniest.
There is an OK short about "Truck Farming" and then the movie. I tell you, one of the reasons this episode works is because of the ridiculous plot in the film. A drunk mom and womanizing dad lead our poor hero to a life of petty crime. Poor guy. This film is just bearable enough to actually watch and Joel and "the bots" do a great job smacking it.
Even after a couple of viewings you'll probably want to keep this DVD nearby for play on nites the satellite goes down, as background at a party or to impress some friends who have never heard of MST3K. It's good, it's cheap and it's DVD. Cool.

Summary: Pleeeease, don't touch the customers, Jim.
Review: If you want to laugh your head off almost to the point of insanity, then this is the one for you. This one ranks right up there with "Mitchell" and "Cave Dwellers". In fact, if our hero--young, stupid, lying Jimmy--were here right now, he'd probably tell us that his swell mom bought ol' Mitchell his very first 6-pack of Coors.Yep, the main guy, high-school aged Jimmy tells the biggest whoppers he can think of so people will think he has the perfect home life. Unfortunately, Mom's a lush, and Dad's a deadbeat. But that doesn't keep Jimmy from winning the school essay contest. This provides Joel and the 'bots some of the sharpest one-liners they've ever had. Now, everywhere Jimmy goes, one of the 'bots'll shout something like, "Hey everybody, I won the essay contest. Yep, that's me...Mr. Essay!" That'll be plenty to land Jimmy the coveted job of shoe salesmen, where his first (or only) customer will be future-Jimmy's girl, Miss Kitty -- the swellest dame Jimmy's ever seen (except of course for ol' top-poppin' Mom). Enter: Jimmy's girl. Slim, blonde, attractive (at least to Jimmy anyway), mob ties, happy in her work, and naive enough to believe anything Jimmy tells her. In one scene, Crow speaks for Jimmy: "...So my Mom says to Roosevelt and Churchill, 'How 'bout a Lend-Lease Program?'" Jimmy meets Kitty when she comes in to buy a pair of shoes. When Jimmy looks at the foot-measure, Joel says, "It says here, your feet don't exist." Many things befall Jimmy in his adventures. And it's all one big cache of dry-humored ammunition for Joel, Tom, and Crow. This one will always be one of my favorites.

Summary: One Great Episode!
Review: I wouldn't say this is quite the funniest installment I have seen but it stands out as a very unique one. It kicks off with a short informational on truck farming that is halarious! A lot of the feature films used on mst3k suffer from a combination of confusing scripting and editing. This one stands out as surprisingly simple and well produced. But that aside it is still dealicously lame! This interstisals are some of the best including one of my favorites with Jeol psycho-analyzing his robot pals. The straignt forward manner of this episode is one of my favorite ones to show individuals who aren't familiar to the show.

Summary: "I'm gonna build a blimp and fight the Nazi's"
Review: Oh boy, this episode is a real hoot! I've always tended to like the episodes that were based around non-science fiction movies better than others (Mitchell, Red Zone Cuba, etc.), and this is no different. The basic plot of this one (after a rather ridiculous look at the exploitative world of truck farming in the opening short feature) is more coherent than most MST films, but no better, really. Jimmy is a good middle-aged high school student and essay writer ("Essay man here!") who is becoming depressed because his parents give him lots of money and let him drink (huh?). Anyway, after meeting a 30 year-old teenaged girl night-club singer and spending all of his shoesalesman salary on her, he gets mixed up in the world of organized crime with the girl's 50 year old boyfriend, Blake. Blake gets Jimmy involved in a botched robbery, and Jimmy threatens to squeal on him after being consoled by a tubby little line cook at a diner. Jimmy and Blake then get into a rather femmy fight and Jimmy shoots and kills Blake. The preachy judge lets Jimmy off scot-free but his parents get a stern lecture. Joel and the Bots really give ole Jimmy a good ribbing (deservedly) for being such a knucklehead throughout this movie, despite his award-wining-essay-caliber intelligence. He really is quite a dope. In one particular host segment they try to figure out what exactly is wrong with Jimmy by making a mobile of his psyche. As it turns out, there are many factors, but the main one that is that he's stupid. Overall, I'd say this is one of the stronger Joel episodes (I, personally, prefer the Mike years), with non-stop laughs and good host segments. I highly recommend it.

Summary: I Was A Teenage Accuser
Review: Unlike other episodes of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, the movie featured here actually does have a coherent storyline. That sentence out of the way, you will not hear me say anything else positive about the film. The plot may be vaguely coherent, but relies on stupid people stupidly doing stupid things for no stupid reason other than to further the stupid plot. Just when you think the film can't take its simplistic premise any farther, the judge actually turns directly to the camera and tells everyone what the moral of the story is. Painful, painful, painful. Fortunately, the MST3k crew is right there with us to point out the films more glaring mistakes and to mock the characters in their every move. Wow, what a bizarre piece of work this film is. Apparently some smart writer thought it would be great to build a film around the premise that most of society's ills can be placed directly at the feet of drunken idiotic parenting. Yes, it's bad parenting that drives ordinary award-winning essay-writers into being hapless stooges for the mob. The fact that the plot requires the main character (a "teenager" played by someone obviously in their mid to late twenties) to perform a fairly long series of tasks without realizing what he's doing apparently escapes the attention of the storyline. It also escapes the attention of the film that their hero is a complete dope. So one finds it difficult to blame his parents for his dubious actions when the audience repeatedly sees the protagonist doing one dumb thing after another. Perhaps if his defense had been that his parents had dropped him on his head as a youngster too many times I would have felt more sympathy for him. This episode also features the short film TRUCK FARMING. It does not feature any trucks. You figure it out; I couldn't. The moral of this episode is that sometimes movies aren't born bad, but become bad due to lack of attention when developing and through poor parenting. Remember that.

Summary: Very funny-Great MST3K!!
Review: I've always thought that Mitchell was close to my favorite MST3K episode, but this one is growing on me. It's a pretty pathetic and depressing movie, but they get so much mileage from things like essay contest jokes. Well worth the [money]! Joel and the bots do a great mobile for one segement to explain some of the main character's problems. Very, very funny.....

Summary: I Accuse This Movie of Being Funny
Review: Who knew that Truck Farming was so interesting or that the life of Jimmy the Liar was so complex. The SOL knows. This one featured Joel and the bots making fun of one of the longest soaps I have ever seen. Jimmy wins the essay contest at school and tells everybody about his great mother who in reality is a lush and dad is a corpse. He meets Kitty and then he joins the mob. Not a movie for the faint of heart but thank good Joel is there to save the day. There is also a pretty rotten truck farming short.

Summary: A Apalling lack of extras
Review: The episode iteself is wonderful... But the complete lack of special features on the disc pulls the rating down two stars. The only features this disc has is a animated menu and chapter selections. That's it.

Summary: Accusation of Hilarity
Review: Hilarious! From the opening featuring a 'naked' Tom Servo, to the short about truck farming, through the feature (including some great in-between stuff with Joel and the 'bots) this is probably my favorite MST, with the possible exception of "Mitchell."
