Was ist Pat?

What starts off as a promising comedy quickly turns into mindless dribble quicker than you can say "Chalupa". The problem is that Pat can't carry a movie. If Pat had been in a very small supporting role in a movie, that would be barable, but this is just one of the most agonizing films ever. Even though there are many scenes that let Dave Foley bring out his cross-dressing best, they don't really point into any direction. The plot? Well, it's just a 5 minute Pat sketch stretched out to be 77 agonizing minutes. The movie relies on spit jokes and gender benders to carry the film. Not good. Luckily, SNL (The best show on TV) rebounded with the classics Stuart Saves His Family and Night at the Roxbury.

The androgynous character from "Saturday Night Live" spins-off into a comedy movie. The annoying "Pat" (Julia Sweeney) has trouble finding a job. "Pat" is an abominable postal carrier and sneezes globs of snot on a customer's sushi. Like in the TV skits, we get close to determining if "Pat" is a man or woman, then something happens to put the character's gender back in question. Herein, "Pat" finds romance with likewise androgynous "Chris" (Dave Foley). Also, "Pat" has a neighbor (Charles Rocket) who becomes obsessed with catching "Pat" in a gender-proving moment.

More proof that SNL skits do not necessarily make good movies.

I must admit, I wasn't expecting much of this movie when I saw it on cable, but i didn't have anything else to do (and there was nothing else on tv) so I decided to watch this movie. To my amazement the movie was pretty good. Don't get me wrong or anything like that, it wasn't an oscar worthy production or some runaway hit, but the movie made me laugh hysterically in many of its insane scenes. I suggest you give this movie try....You will be laughing!

What was the person who made this film thinking? Did they have nothing to do for say the 2 hours they worked on it? It was horrible to say the most about this film. There was only one plus: Yeah for Ween, a cool band that gets no recognition. That was it though. No funny jokes, no good acting, nothing. Why I watched the whole thing is beyond me. If you are even considering watching this film then run far far away. Be safe watch anything but this.

Mercy what an awful excuse for a film. Sexless (meaning impossible to tell whether male or female) Pat (Julia Sweeney) wants to get married to another equally sexless person in this amazingly poor motion picture that was just a ploy by those morons at Saturday Night Live to make a few quick bucks. They made very few bucks as the movie-going public saw through this mess before they ever set foot into a theater. Tasteless and worthless. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
