Too Much Sun

Movie is about gay brother and lesbian sister and having to get married or have a baby with someone to get an inheritance.

Good cast is wasted.

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.

Granted, the premise was stupid, this movie has me ROTFLOL!!! I soon forgot the name of it, but never gave up trying to find it. I saw it by "accident" at a sneak preview and didn't realize it was going to be something that I would want to have in my library.

I would like to express my gratitude towards the makers of and actors in the Greatest Movie of all times: Too Much Sun!!! This Movie has probably saved my life, and it will probably do many more times!!! I love it! Love it!!

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.
