Locuras de familia

But I did this one. The premise was tired and executed poorly. What drek.

I was saddened to see that the modern "Entertainment industry" of this country could still put out awful, stereotyped images lacking even one dimensional sensibilities. What next, "Mammy with a banjo" on her knee?! For shame on anyone who voluntarily had anything to do with this movie.

The storyline is so preposterous, insulting and childish... Gentle reader, consider yourself warned.

I found this obscure movie playing on HBO once at 3AM. It had just started and I figured I'd be up anyway. 15 minutes into the movie, I found myself laughing as hard as I ever had in my life.

While the story is a bit silly, it plays well with the cast it's given, all of whom are either comedy veterans like Eric Idle and Andrea Martin to the likes of Robert Downey Jr and Ralph Macchio, who plays the world's biggest scum ever seen in this movie

The movie centers around two gay siblings who are forced into producing an heir within one year of their father's death. But it's really the lengths they go to trying to get this done and the freaks they meet along the way that really make this flick a lost treasure. I won't go so far as to call it a classic, but since that fateful night at 3AM, I've watched this movie over and over (thankfully, I was able to get copy it as I've never found a real version of it anywhere since).

If you want to watch something silly with actors you know and/or love, don't have a problem with story lines that center around gay people and aren't interested in too coherent of a story, or if you just want to see Ralph Macchio play something completely different for once, and lord above knows he's the reason I love this movie so much (something I can't say too often), watch this movie.

Eric idle. Robert downey junior. Ralph macchio. Andrea martin. When old man rivers dies, his will directs that one of his homosexual children must provide a grandchild within one year of his death, in order to inherit his estate. A comedic, gay, bedroom farce, if you will, since both sonny and bitsy are already in relationships. The gay relationshis are treated with an unusual amount of respect, for the times. The usual gay references and jokes, as expected. And why not? Macchio had already made his karate kid money, parts one, two, and three. Downey junior had already hit it big on his own, with back to school and less than zero. Directed by robert downey senior. Laura ernst, who plays susan, was married to downey senior for three years, until she died of ALS. And the title.... too much sun.. is a pun on the word "son".... as there are too many sons in the film. And a fun connection-- the mailman is played by chris mankiewicz, related to all the famous mankiewicz-hollywood-writers! It's funny and silly. Much better than the low ratings on imdb, as of today.

Honestly I could see how it could be offensive but it's really funny and so bad it was good, like it was such an unserious movie that i don't know why everyone is so pressed I found it hilarious and it was a stupid plot but that was kinda the point you know like you should not take this movie seriously. Yeah it's a little suggestive at times and stereotypical but it's so stupid and fun that it really didn't bother me too much I honestly really liked it and it was a comedy for when your bored or something. Ralph macchio did an amazing job and the the fact he was in the chair for half the movie was the best part.
