The Godson

Review: There's a theory that if you put a lot of monkeys in a room with a typewriter that they'll eventually recreate Shakespeare. The Godson is the first effort by these monkeys and the title foreshadows the entire movie: not funny.

In this film, the ugly guy from Kids in the Hall burgles a month from the careers of Dom DeLuise and Rodney Dangerfield. Now, you might be thinking, "those two guys are very funny, so this should be a funny movie." But if it's so funny, why haven't you heard of it and why did it go straight to video? Because it's terrible; in fact, it's the opposite of funny: it's not funny.

It's a spoof of mob themed movies, except, unlike most spoofs, this one is not at all funny. No laughing took place while watching this film. However, there is one highlight, no, wait, there's not. It's all garbage.

If you want a funny mob spoof, rent Mafia. If you want a funny spoof that has Dom DeLuise in it, rent Silence of the Hams. And if you want to waste an hour and a half of your life, four dollars, and have your friends and relative think less of you, rent The Godson.

Summary: So stupid it's a crime.
Review: This movie was horrible. I can't believe I wasted fifty cents to rent this straight-to-video flop! If your going to make a spoof of "The Godfather", MAKE A DECENT ONE! Anyways, I believe this has been done before, with "Mafia". "Mafia" was a far better spoof than this one. If you are looking for a movie of this sort, please, stay FAR AWAY from this one, and rent "Mafia" instead.

Rodney Dangerfield and Dom Deluise need better material to work with. They were desperate for money. This movie is so dumb that I cannot believe it was allowed to be filmed and sent out to the public! Who wrote this filth? A second grader? I could go on and on about how horrifyingly stupid this waste of celluloid is, but I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Then again, don't even give this movie a second thought.

SKIP IT. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

Summary: Roundabout
Review: We can see the complexities of a movie like "The Godson." The timeless philosophical entanglements arising from such social constructions as Gender and the Master/Slave relationship are
shrewdly considered through several hours of in-depth dialogue.
Rodney Dangerfield, whose chosen field before he turned to comedy was in fact Old Testament Theology (he'd done a Ph.D. dissertation on "The Book of Hebbekiah with Reference to neo-Bultmannian Ontology") serves up a god-awful performance.
For those of you who happen to watch this video, beware:
it is worse than "Red Dawn," which was a very bad apocalyptic sci-fi starring Patrick Schwayze.
