Summary: One of my must have alltime favorites
Review: I'm with the other guy, I cant believe that the critics gave this such bad reviews. This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and is loaded with hilarious one liners that my friends and I still quote and laugh about. Michael Keaton, Joe Piscapo, Danny Devito, Marilu Henner, Ray Walston..."I can see, I can hear and I can see...But who am I?" along with the visuals like the vibrator that JDs mother pulls out of her purse at Tommys graduation...Or the maid who asks Vermon "One at a time or both of you together..." I could go on and on. I think its the movie critics who are the 'fargin iceholes' but then they usually give poor reviews to most of my favorite movies.. I wish they would put this on DVD but I guess theyre too busy printing the spice girls movies and Brittany Spears videos to sqeaze this one in..Note, At least you can mute the spears videos, the eye candys not bad, still Im not adding that to my collection any time soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as funny as Airplane
Review: Johnny Dangerously is a cult classic. I have seen this movie at least 10 times over the years and it is still hilarious. If you are a fan of "Airplane" you will love this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is hillarious! WAY Underated, light hearted
Review: Johnny Dangerously is one of those movies that get's better each time one see's it. The viewer catches more quips and one-liners each time. There are a number of cameos in this picture which adds to the variety and humor. Don't expect a serious, contemplative style of humor here; it's straight-forward, take-it-as-it-is type of comedy which is reflected in the charm of the lead character, Johnny Dangerously, played by Michael Keaton. Bottom Line: It's a fun movie when you're bored and want something different.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's Definitely A Hoot!
Review: Johnny Dangerously provides everything it says it will. It is fresh, funny, and guaranteed to make you smile. All of the actors are perfect for their roles! If you want a comedy on the level of "Airplane" - this is it! I thoroughly recommend this movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fargin' Hillarious!
Review: Johnny Dangerously still holds up well as one of the best comedies of the early to mid 80's. Starring Michael Keaton in perhaps his greatest comedic role, this is the story of gangster Johnny Dangerously. Johnny's basically a good guy who finds himself forced into a life of crime in order to pay to treat his mother's increasingly bizarre ailments. Marilu Henner is great as Johnny's love interest, Lil, while Peter Boyle is hilarious as mob boss Jocko Dundee. Griffin Dunne plays Johnny's naieve, optimistic brother, who follows a different path to the district attorney's office, and Joe Piscopo is at his funniest as rival gangster, Danny Vermin. All in all, this is a hilarious send-up of the classic gangster genre.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Michael Keaton at his funniest!
Review: Michael Keaton is one of the most under-rated actors out there right now, and this movie is undoubtly was one of his funniest. His scenes with Joe Piscopo's Danny Vermin are a laugh riot. I highly recommend this video for anybody who loves off the wall satire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, Funny, Funny
Review: My Boyfriend loves this movie it his favorite, you definately got to see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic Comedy
Review: Once again the editorial review misses the point. This is a hilarious movie, with a great cast. There are many memorable bits in here. This is meant to be silly and ridiculous. Michael Keaton and Marilu Henner are well cast for the leads, and some of the scenes are just way over the top, inlcuding the foul-mouthed bungled swearing of Roman Morone, the "educational film" Johnny shows Tommy to scare him into not having sex, ("How do you get laid in 1929?!") Maureen Stapleton as the mother with the vibrator in her purse who "goes both ways" and Peter Boyle as Mr. Dundee are particulary funny as well. This is dripping satire that goes over the top and just keeps climbing! In the words of Johnny, "How many other gangs out there have a dental plan?!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must for your comedy movie library!
Review: One of the funniest films you will every see. Keaton is superb, and the rest of the cast ain't bad, either! Even the music soundtrack is right on the mark. I've seen it many times and look forward to many more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Filled With Ethnic Slurs
Review: One of the funniest things about this movie is the way they portray the Irish and Italian immigrants of that era. The Italians don't speak English quite right and the Irish are drinkers... ...
