Summary: Boo! Boo!
Review: Dear God! When it comes to really bad movies based on classic TV shows, I never thought anything could top the horrific lameness of "McHale's Navy" and "Wild Wild West". But came the day I caught this playing on cable, and found myself almost having epileptic seizures over how awful and utterly unfunny it was. `Course, it didn't help that I never really cared for the TV show it was based on, but that's neither here nor there. Making things worse was the casting, which included Buster Poindexter as Gunther "Ooh! Ooh!" Toody, and Rosie O'Donnell as Mrs. Toody. But worst of all is Fran Drescher and her ultra-annoying yenta voice that makes deafness seem like a blessing!

As for the bits o' screen time with original "Car 54" and eventual "Munsters" cast mates Fred Gwynne and Grandpa Al Lewis: I guess these two were pretty hard-up for funds to agree to do this dreck! Perhaps there wasn't enough demand for their presence at those Comic-Book-&-Cult-TV cons at the time? Let's see... have a small part in a super-lame flick, or hang out with a buncha pock-faced, socially-inept fanboy get-a-lifers who ask you really dumb questions about the show you were on... a lame flick, or get-a-lifers... whew, tough choice. It all boils down to what'cha consider the lesser of two evils...

Summary: nipsey russel, where is your pride?
Review: I was given this by a man who cannot read or do simple math. He lives on the end of my block. I drive him places because he does not have a car. He gave it to me because he said, "this is terrible." When a man of that social standing says something's terrible, it is. This is horrible. Why didn't they take the money to make this and feed starving children instead? If you own this (and you're not me), you owe society big time, and the starving children, too.

Summary: One star is too many
Review: I've no doubt I'm one of many products of the baby boom who endured this dreadful flick because of fond memories of the original Car 54 series. The series, of course, was no intellectual banquet, but it had charm and fun.

This film version's one-joke premise is that Gunther Toody, whose facial expression and manner would make one wonder if those with lower intelligence than Neanderthal man are candidates for the NYPD, cannot keep his hands off his wife. Dreadful bore.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: GOOD MOVIE
Review: LAUGH LAUGH THIS MOVIE IS PRETTY DARN FUNN

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE was better.
Review: The movie considered to be the worst movie ever is Ed Wood's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. That movie was more entertaining than this. This takes a funny TV show and makes it look awful. I agree with what the person said about feeding the hungry children in one of the other reviews.

Rating: 4 stars
