Clifford - Das kleine Scheusal

This movie is hilarious! Martin Short reverts back to his original "weird & off the wall" humor (SCTV, Glick) in this very funny comedy. This is what he does best.

Though I did enjoy him in other movies in recent years, like "Innerspace", "A Simple Wish", etc., I felt that he was sort of holding back. This movie ushers Mr. Short back into great original comedy stuff.

Although I'll admit- not everyone will find this as funny. You have to be able to appreciate his non-traditional type of comedy. Sort of like "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". I also loved this movie. So, you see, I guess you have to be a little strange to understand - and be amused by - this sort of material.

Funniest moment for me - at the dinner, when some older lady kept making over how "adorable" Clifford was - and he just loses it!

Funniest line - "Oh Ms. Sarah - Uncle Martin's gone Nutty-Nuts! Classic Martin Short!

I don't know why this hasn't been released on DVD yet. I hope it will be soon. 8 out of 10 stars.

Horrible plot horrible script I mean a 40 yr old man playing a kid...,,,, But yet short somehow makes this work it's a light hearted comedy that I found Rather enjoyable you need to not be so uptight and just be like what the hell To enjoy this movie if you can't do that if you take yourself to seriously you won't like it And you be like a few reviewers on here and hate on the movie Be warned it is normal to loathe the character of Clifford Your either gonna love the character of Clifford or want to kill him lol

Clifford is a hilarious movie that is suitable for all audiences. i was 5 years old when it came out, so i didn't actually see clifford until i was about 9 years old.

since then i have watched it many times, and each time i get a kick out of this classic comedy. whoever thought of making Martin Short play himself as an older man and a child was truly a genious.

Just last night i went to a youth night at my church, Desert Springs Bible Church. we had a movie madness night, and everyone set up chairs, blankets, and pillows to watch a "mystery" movie. When the time came to present the movie, everyone was extremely excited. finally my youth pastor announced that the movie was "Clifford". In the beginning, everyone was bummed because they though it was "clifford the big red dog", but as soon as they realized it was CLIFFORD, we were all really excited.

all throughout the movie, i heard extreme laughter coming from the other youth, and me! this movie is exceptional, and if you don't like it, you need to work on getting a better sense of humor.

Yeah Buddy.

In this funny, but slightly crude film, Martin Short uses his young face and tricky camera angles, I think, to play the part of a ten year old boy. What is really funny is that he is obviously not a ten year old boy, yet he is perfectly capable of the role due to his bizarre sense of humour. This film showed on a television station that normally shows Disney B movies. Movies released in the 90's are not really my thing, but this one was really cute! There were a few offensive words and crude moments ( such as one reference to a "secret space" and other jokes about pedophiles ) but if these go in one ear and out the other, than it won't be a problem for you. Martin Short has the most hilarious face, capable of contorting to give a weird, childish look that creeps out even the on screen characters. The opening and closing shots reminded me of "Boy's Town" and gives us a chance to see Martin Short under layers of latex for his role as an elderly priest.

All in all, not a bad effort.

This is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. That makes it just more than a bad movie. Martin Short could be seen, as Clifford, as an incarnation of the devil. Clifford is so evil sometimes that it verges on the scary. The look in his eyes is very singular.

My favorite scene is when Charles Grondin tells Clifford :

"Can't you just act like a human boy for a second here. Look at me like a real person. You can't do it more than few second. Look at me like a human boy!"

And Clifford that's not able to look human! AH!!! Pure madness!

I really don't know why this movie was made, but I admire the crazy people who dared to follow their weird instincs.
