Two Idiots in Hollywood

or should i say "a t. barry armstrong masterpiece?" Yeah, this movie is dumb. but it's worth it. basically this is the funniest movie ever. period.

I caught this movie as part of a pre-release audience focus group. And this was the only time I've ever seen or heard of a mass audience walk-out on a free screening and forego the $50 focus group fee. it was THAT bad. Audience members were pushing pollsters aside on their way out, others could be seen to be writing profanities in big block letters on their questionnaires.

This was one of those movies that deliberately strives to be bad through self-mockery, but it didn't even succeed at campiness. Not funny-bad, just painfully, excruciatingly, AWFUL.

If these other reviews are to be believed, the movie must have been re-written, re-filmed, re-edited and re-tooled beyond recognition.

True- The first time you see this movie, you aren't really sure what hit you, that is if anything hit you at all. What I recommend is that you consider the title of the movie before you watch it and you won't be disappointed. This movie was actually very clever and took a great deal of intelligence to write and put together. Simply put, it is an over the top satire about the excesses of the Hollywood and the people running it. It follows two mopes from Ohio, Murhpy Wagg and Taylor Dup (with one "p") who go to California on a whim, like some many other people to find jobs in the Motion Picture Industry. The ideas that they (the movies characters) come up with aren't too far off from other movies being made nowadays, that is where the real comedy and genius of this picture are. Hollywood executives, big and small, giving us one rotten movie only to sell us another one, a sequel, or some other garbage franchise that might be derived from it. Stephen Tobolowsky showed a great deal of courage, and creativity, to create a movie like this. I understand why so many would turn their backs on it, because it hits so close to the truth. I only hope that we can get more movies like this one.

A hilarious jaunt through the lives of two complete losers, this film must not be missed. The jauntieness of it's hilarity is complete. Also, do NOT miss The Robot From Outer Space - it's excitement! it's suspense! it's excitement!

What must die for the earth to live - see this film and find out!

This film is a cinematic masterpiece. I whole heartedly agree that this a quotation goldmine. My best friend and I probably don't go a day without quoting the beefy smelling Taylor Dup, with one P from Ohio, or Murphy "this one's on Ma Bell" Wegg.

This is also the test my friends use to test the compatibility of the girls we dated. We would crack this gem out on the second date and take note of the reactions.

No smile or laugh = doomed relationship Smile material, after all she tried Laughter = marriage caliber

So far this test has been 100% accurate. My wife ,who now claims she didn't laugh, and I have been married since 2000. I put this in my top 3 favorite films of all time. I could talk about this movie all day but you see I've got this ruptured disk in back.

Like Winn Kaalsen says, "Try it, I say try it you'll like it."
