OK, this may not be the weirdest movie ever, but it was probably the one that most shocked me. It's an erotic drama from Brazil, that starts with a long text about how the fall of every major civilization was preceded by moral decadence, and family disruption.

However, this is only an attempt to hide that this movie is just a porn like a hundred others, behind a social critic explanation. The film is not critical after all, and it would just please a couple of sex freaks.

It has everything: incest, male homosexualism, female homosexualism, child abuse, animal sex, drugs , bondage, sadism, rape, etc. Every minute of the film gives the viewer something nastier than the minute before, and it never ends.

If you're a sex freak, try to find it, you'll enjoy it. If you're not, get something else, anything else. I assure you it'll be better.

If you managed so far to miss "Airplane!", two things. Number one, you're a very sad person. Number two, this is the father of Naked Gun, Hot Shots and all the other spoofs films ever made. Obviously, neither one reaches "daddy", that matches exactly in the disaster-films scenario that crowded the late 70's. Leslie Nielsen probably has the part of a lifetime (I guess he is even better than on "Police Squad"), as a doctor aboard the plane. There's also Lloyd Bridges, as a freaky air traffic controller, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as one of the airplane crew members, and Robert Hays as a psycho war veteran who is drafted in the middle of the flight to replace the orginal pilot.

Jim Abrahams and David Zucker made, in this film, a masterpiece. "Airplane!" inspires comedy films until today, almost 20 years after its release. Some great sequences: the wife of the pilot sleeping with a horse, Robert Hays spoofing John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever", Leslie Nielsen and several others passengers, including a nun, a Hare Krishna and a boxing fighter, trying to calm down a hysterical passenger by hitting her, Lloyd Bridges sniffing glue and "getting high", Julie Hagerty trying to fill the automatic pilot with air by blowing it, and Robert Hayes sweating during the landing.

If you never had a good hour and a half of non-stop laughing, and is curious about the feelings of it, "Airplane!" is my hint.

This film is a magnificent story that mixes court-room drama with marriage comedy, in a very intelligent and sophisticated way, showing not just the man-woman troubles on a relationship, but also the incoherency of some trial situations. As this wasn't enough, "Adam's Rib" has, perhaps, the greatest movie-couple of all time, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, masterly directed by George Cukor (and you thought that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were the perfect couple, junior).

Saying that this film is just a romantic comedy is to under-rate him, but labeling it as just a court-room motion picture is way too judicious, having in mind the good humour that its issues are leaded.

If you have time to spend and nothing to do, go straight to your video store and rent it. If you don't have the time, redo your schedule and find some time to see it. It's worth it.
