Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome movie!
Review: Great movie, with big named actors playing multiple roles, a must for any true comedy fan!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I paid to watch this?
Review: If you are a movie fan this one rates right up there. However, "there" is on the list of all-time worst movies. The only thing amazing about this film is how a good cast can make such a terrible film. Don't waste your time on this one. By the way, I gave it one star because there was no choice lower than that!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad and Even Worse!
Review: There are several adjectives and nouns to describe Nothing But Trouble. Horrible, puerile, a waste, terrible, disgusting, bad. But it is a lot worse than that. Webster's would have to create a new word to come close to describing this....movie? I'm not so sure. This is entertainment? This is what a producer would waste a million bucks on to humor the masses?

Don't get me wrong; I'm not a prude. I loved Animal House and Caddyshack, so this is not a knock on the whole "slob comedy" genre. But there's no excuse for this. Chevy Chase and John Candy have made their share of trash, but even they should have known this was a dead-end.

Nothing But Trouble apparently was a labor of love for Dan Aykroyd, who wrote and directed this dreck. What was he thinking? How could he have possibly thought this was funny? This is the single worst attempt of black comedy I've ever seen. It is simply dumb, dumb, dumb. Aykroyd plays multiple roles as both a sadistic old judge and what appears to be one-half of a mutant brother combo. Candy, too, plays both a moronic cop and the cop's horny sister (maybe they thought if Peter Sellers can act in multiple roles and still be funny, so could they. They thought wrong). They sentence their victims to death with some bone-ripping machine. It has a "funny" name. Mr. Bone-Ripper or something. Need I say more? Stay away!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: If you simply want a silly comedy...
Review: Lots of people say that this movie is unwatchable, and even the worst movie ever made. I don't agree. I found it quite entertaining.

However, before deciding whether to see this movie or not, ask yourself if you're in the mood for a totally silly comedy, with no depth at all. If you are, why not see it. It has no depth, it's just silly, and it's no advanced humor at all, but it's entertaining to watch, especially if you're tired or bored. It's even sillier than movies like "Dumb and Dumber" (but not quite that good). I wouldn't say it's worth buying, but if you're curious to see what you think, if only to get yourself an own opinion on this movie, rent it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst movie we ever saw!
Review: I would give this movie NO stars if they would let me! My husband and I have gone to the movies every week, for years and years. Sometimes more than once a week. We have only walked out of a theater on two movies in 15 years and this was one of them! Need I say more! Not funny and just plain stupid. It's surprising that we hated it so much, since we are John Candy and Chevy Chase fans.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful mess of a film
Review: This film opened at the same time as Silence of the Lambs. I opted for it instead and I hold Dan Ackroyd personally responsible for my missing that great film in its initial run so I could see this piece of garbage. I chuckled twice. Once when Chase saw Demi Moore's legs and said "Give me the keys". The second time was when the rap group was performing and Ackroyd started playing the piano. This movie was terrible. Absolute pits. Movies the Last Seduction don't get released but this does. Ugh! What a waste of time. Because of this film I no longer watch Ackroyd movies.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: view it for what it is worth
Review: alot of people have been down on this movie due to its unbelievable plot. however, this movie needs to be judged for what it is worth. given, it is not a movie that should win a comedic award, but it is creative and has a great plot for a dark comedy. this movie doubles as a good trip movie too. again, dont judge it for more than it is worth.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'd give it zero stars if I could
Review: Are you guys insane?

I'm a fan of Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd and John Candy. When these actors have/had a good script, they could be very funny. In fact, a lot of my favorite movies have one of the three. This is why I was looking forward to seeing this movie when it can out on video years ago. My brother and I rented it, and proceeded to laugh not once during this worthless excuse for a movie.

This is one of those movies that you just look at the other person watching it and shake your heads in disbelief. I have no idea who thought this movie would be good, but everyone involved in it should apologize. In fact, the only reason to own this movie is to laugh at how bad it is.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Nothing But Garbage
Review: Dan Aykroyd was one of the most inventive writer/performers on the original "Saturday Night Live." Just a few samples from his fertile imagination: the Coneheads, Super Bass-O-Matic '76, the Metric Leisure Week and the Decibet (a decimal-based alphabet of just 10 letters).

Fertile also comes to mind when you watch this movie- because it's a load of something that would make the vast midwestern corn and wheatfields grow to the sky. It's maniacally inventive, yet incredibly awful. It's a monument to how fine a line there is between genius and ineptitude.

Chevy Chase and Demi Moore play a yuppie couple sentenced to die by the monstrous judge (Aykroyd) of a repulsive burg in the middle of nowhere. The judge's bizarre, inbred family run the entire town. Grotesque body makeup abounds; you will be forever scarred when you see Dan Aykroyd in a giant diaper. And, once again, John Candy displays his charm and affability in a film so atrocious it makes "Uncle Buck" seem like "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Why did he do this so often?

You'd have to be brain-damaged to enjoy this murky, dismal mess of a movie; I hesitated to write that, because at least brain-damaged people have an excuse. The one thing "Nothing But Trouble" does successfully is make you feel Chase's plight- because you will want to escape as badly as his character does. Fortunately, you have a choice... don't see this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: West Side
Review: The appearance by the greatest of all time 2Pac is the only thing that makes this movie watchable.
