Coopers' Camera

As some of you might know, I write for and orchestrate Ruthless Reviews. O.K., I know, big deal. Sometimes our readers throw us a pearl. This time the pearl bore fruit in the form of this deliciously vulgar but infinitely watchable movie.

The only reasonable way that I can describe this VHS film is the joy that a dog incurs when it eats its own vomit. Yes, it is that good. From the endless mullets to the crazy Family Values, this film separates the wheat from the chaff. You are either all-in for Christmas mockery, or you are not.

Unless you are some sort of hard-core, Born-Again Christmas Freak, you should give yourself a chance to enjoy this movie. Drinking is HIGHLY recommended if you are to fully enjoy this masterpiece.

What a wonderful surprise. Thank you Winston Smith for drawing this to my attention.

Refers to Disney's fort wilderness, it was the campground. The lodge only opened in 1991. So he refers to a very expensive camping stay for 1985. This is the most disturbing movie family.

This movie is an instant Christmas classic!

For a little over an hour I found myself somewhere between laughing and cringing. If you remember the 80's or would have liked to - you should see this movie.

A good job by the following combined with some pretty rock solid editing made for a great film, specifically:

Mike Beaver - did an amazing job as Uncle Nick, steals the show really. Too many funny scenes to list from the tree crash to the drunk sledding

Jason Jones - was lovable as a drunken Gord Cooper and

Samantha Bee - was good as his pregnant wife

Dave Foley - although not starring in the movie, you'll see more than enough of him

Peter Keleghan - plays a hilarious (yet classy) Uncle Tim

I'd love to know where I can buy it b/c its going to be an annual movie right up there with A Christmas Story.

Loved it!

watched this not expecting much and I have to say a much funnier film then the crap that Hollywood churns out every year.

It was original and the characters were amazingly too close to people most people are related to. Uncle nick was the funniest character of all.

Absolutely amazing film. Really enjoyed it I was rolling on the floor laughing. HILARIOUS !!! GENIUS!! compare this to "the other guys" just recently come out, and "Due date" which were massive let-downs, I would have been happier paying to watch coopers camera, because its actually funny. AWESOME!!!!

If you were an adult in the '80s, you might feel very nostalgic watching this, although you could also feel embarrassed to admit it! Anybody of any age though, that likes bit of crude and silly will love it! Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall) shows a side of himself we have never seen.
