Die total beknackte Nuß

..but enough for a morning. I wouldn´t go rent it not even for a buck, but I would watch it again on T.V. It is entertaining, but it´s really stupid and the actors aren´t that good. Let´s just say it barely makes the cut. Besides, it´s a little surprising watching X actress Traci Lords trying to act in a comedy.

What are the odds that you will find a movie so random, so different, so interesting, and so unusual that it makes all other movies seem obsolete? "The Nutt House" is one of them! In fact, because of these descriptors, it's actually quite hard to tell whether or not this movie actually make sense to me at all. Most people feel like a rock or a boulder after watching this film, but I felt changed after seeing this. It's one of those movies that is actually worth laughing at. No other movie out there is more different or strange than "The Nutt House." As for you guys out there that don't like these kinds of movies, don't watch it. For the brave and the bold, go rent it!

I bought this film from a local pound shop so I cant say I'm surprised at how bad it was,but I have had some enjoyment out of this film. But it has to be the most stupidly bad comedy film ever made, while watching the film you cant help but think that if the story was put in the right hands it probably would have been a good movie (with Jim Carrey in the lead and maybe David Zucker directing) but it is one of those films that is so dumb SO badly acted and directed that you actually cant help but laugh all the way through it, so does this make it a good comedy because its funny for all the wrong reasons?, NO! its absolute crap. You can definitely see why raimi took his name off the film.

This one is for Raimi (and stooge) fans only. It's really not that bad, I think that Sam perhaps took his stooge imitating(as seen in all Raimi movies) a little far. In fact you can imagine this being a movie from the Stooge/Marx stable the main character(who was written for Bruce Campbell obviously) is a mix of Harpo Marx & The Stooges. It kind of trails off towards the end. The acting is all over the top silliness with sight gags stuck in everywhere for the hell of it. Although he didn't want recognition as writing this I can imagine this is a movie that Sam still enjoys watching it just seems his level of humour.

Ah, there one always complains about modern comedies, specifically the Friedberg / Seltzer productions like "Epic Movie", "Disaster Movie", "You-name-it-movies" and how the genre of slapstick comedy is going down the drain. However, it would be unfair to blame this phenomenon to the 21st century; there has been crap in the early 90's too, and there's no better example than "The Nutt House".

Let's start off, talking about the cancer that's ailing this film: leading man Stephen Kearney. Let me say that, I've been laughing harder while pulling faces in the mirror (and I'm not good at pulling faces). Kearney's profile claims that he's one of the most prolific comedians in Australia, which may be true but leads me to the conclusion that Australia is far away from anywhere and that entertainment in the outback's is scare – I plan a career as comedian there myself; my show would consist of me smashing pies in my face, while hopping on one leg.

Checking out the IMDb profile of director Adam Rifkin, it caught me by surprise that he went on to direct "Detroit Rock City", a comedy which is among one of my personal favourites; living proof that nobody's beyond redemption – however, products are and if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that there's no redemption for "The Nutt House".

It's been an old tradition that, after watching a movie – no matter whether good or bad – that I'll check the trivia page on IMDb. Couldn't help but notice that three actors had their final appearances in this film – I couldn't help but to think of "Airplane" and those poor suicidals.

As for the rating: if you see one star above this review, it comes from IMDb, not from me – from me it get's nothing.

As to this thing 'almost ruining my Christmas', well, it's true: some bozo at the local television station saw it fit to air this abomination on Christmas – and I was too well-fed and lazy to switch!
