Life Stinks

Summary: LIFE MAY STINK, BUT THIS MOVIE IS GREAT!
Review: No, this is not your typical Mel Brooks comedy; loaded down with relentless slapstick comedy and sight-gags! IT'S TEN TIMES BETTER! Life Stinks, unlike other Mel Brooks movies, has real heart and soul. Yes, it's funny; but it's also very touching. In the movie, you get to "meet" some homeless people, who make you realize that; hey, they have real feelings and personalities too! I don't feel the movie pokes fun of the homeless; instead, it pokes fun at the rich guy who loses his cloak of money and then can't deal with the "realities" of life -(thus proclaiming, Life Stinks)! Again, this movie is NOT typical Mel Brooks, if that's what you're expecting. However, if you ARE expecting a movie that is wonderfully entertaining and worth viewing over and over again, then you definitely WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! BUY IT, AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!

Review: The scene when Mel is on the roof was filmed on top of the building at 765 S. Spring St. and 8th, south-east side, downtown LA. A great place to chat up a review of LIFE STINKS with friends and beers.They filmed scenes in MY building, Had to have it. Whenever I get meloncholy over memories of the old hood, I put LIFE STINKS on and concentrate on the positive experiences and pine. Buy LIFE STINKS and you too can see the top of the building I used to live in. 2W ( W stands for Wow). that's a very strong 3 Star rating by the way

Summary: Strange guy in a stranger land
Review: This flick has the usual Mel Brooks unashamed look at homelessness with all the expected "middle class" stereotypes included. Leonard Maltin missed the big picture in his review--This video isn't funny because it pokes fun at the homeless-It's funny because it pokes fun at the clueless-ness of the "haves". Sorry, but Mel is funny.

Summary: Irrelevant and not funny
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. A few scenes are so memorable that it is a must have in your video collection. It is, after all, Mel Brooks! Where is the DVD???????

Summary: This Movie Stinks
Review: This movie was barely funny, I only laughed twice and they weren't very heavy laughs either. This movie had a weak story line and an over lengthed dance scene which is suppose to be funny... I think. This movie seems like it can just stop anywhere near the end. So using a rating system like Leonard Maltin's I would give this movie * 1/2 stars. That 1/2 saves the movie from being BOMB.
