Skippy

I have actually seen this film on Showtime. It was playing early in the morning while I was getting ready for work. Once I started watching it I just couldn't stop. I recognized several popular character actors and locations that I've seen I'm much bigger films. The movie starts a little bit slow in Wildwood, New Jersey on the Boardwalk and ends up in Hollywood. You could tell the people who chose the locations live on the west side. Its like a day in the life of a Santa Monica resident. Skippy works out at Golds Gym in Venice, then he's posing at Muscle Beach. He in the Fire House when he wins the contest and has lunch with his buddy Larry at the Earth Cafe. Then he's seen eating dinner at Zen Zero. You have to be a local to know all about all those spots. I would definitely recommend this movie for small children. recommend renting this one.

This is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. It had such a diverse cast. I saw a lot of actors that I recognized from some huge blockbuster films. I especially enjoyed the character of Brandon Chase. It's about time they put in a real man for a male lead and not one of these wimps trying to play a cool guy. He seemed like a blend of Sylvester Stallone and Andy Garcia.

Nothing new, nothing great, but kinda funny in spots. There was no one in it I ever heard of, but I don't watch that many newer pictures these days. No big belly laughs, but a few good chuckles. I don't think I could sit through it a second time though.

I go to well over 100 movies a year. This is undoubtedly the worst movie I have ever seen. The plot (and the execution of the plot), the costumes, the dialog, just about everything was horrible. The "trailer" was about 30 seconds long and it contained all of the best parts of it. I enjoyed just the first very few minutes as it showed scenes of Wildwood, New Jersey's boardwalk which I had visited about 15 years before. That was the extent of my enjoyment as the rest of the movie quickly degenerated as low as a movie could go.

A friend and I went to see this movie. Initially there were about 30 people in the audience of all ages and genders. After about 45 minutes my friend and I were the only people still there. Everyone else had left. We stayed until the end to see just how bad it would continue to be (and it was). The movie opened in Los Angeles in about 7 theaters. It was gone in a week and their website disappeared about a month later. The website listed where the movie was showing for that first week and was never updated before it disappeared. It never came out on video or DVD as far as I know but it did make it to cable TV.

Horrible, disaster! I've spend 5 euro for DVD and was very disappointed. Low budget movie with old jokes that won't work anymore. Maybe on younger generations that haven't seen much yet, this movie i suppose can be funny or inspiring for them. But once again, this is another debut movie of new actors. To get through they need to do much better job than that, unveil your talents, become a trademark. Without charisma people won't remember your name and as an performer you have no future. But if you want just to be on screen, than don't do movies, please. Somehow this pathetic comedy came on DVD and did it to Europe. I have always place for a good comedy in my movie collection, but please make me remember your acting, your jokes, your face and your name...
