Frank McKlusky, C.I.

This guy is trying to be Jim Carrey. Maybe it's not his fault. Maybe the director made him do this. Facial expressions and mannerisms are Jim Carrey rip-offs. He even looks a little like Jim Carrey>

Some good comedy talent in the cast, but if they had it to do over again, I'll be they'd all pass. Too stupid to be funny. I don't know if it was a lack of money, time, or possible the director was inept, or the editing was done at the Hemp Users Society Annual Expo.

Whatever it was, it resulted in a movie that is a waste of time. Fortunately, I didn't pay to buy or rent this flick. It was on one of my cable channels. Not recommended.

This movie is so bad that the producers would not let it be released into theaters. Although it is awful I would suggest that you watch this movie because it is very entertaining. Entertaining in the sense that it is so bad. The movie's bad acting and cameo appearences will make you laugh, not the plot or punchlines.

Despite being made by a major Hollywood studio, "Frank McKlusky, C.I." barely got a theatrical release. Watching it, it's easy to see why the studio got cold feet. To be fair, it's some distance from the worst comedies I have seen. For one thing, Dave Sheridan takes the lead role that could have been made absolutely obnoxious by another actor and makes the character quite likable. And there are a few mild chuckles here and there. However, the movie for the most part simply isn't that funny. Some gags border on bad taste, but most of the failed gags not only come across as quite childish (like a child actually conceived them), but are executed with a surprising lack of crazy energy. It doesn't help that the production values of the entire enterprise come across as surprisingly shoddy at time. At least the movie is somewhat short (only 82 minutes if you count the closing credits), though there are signs that the movie was significantly cut down in the editing room, perhaps in a desperate attempt to save it.

what a horrible film! jim carrey must have backed out on this film... it's obvious this film was made with him in mind as the lead... what's even worse about this film is they casted the lead to resemble jim carrey! how pathetic! did the producers really think they could sell a film with a look-a-like? unf***ingbelievable! randy quaid was the best part of this film... too bad he was catatonic thru most of it. who ever casted this film should be fired! so many great comedic actors are in this film (andy richter, tracy morgan, randy quaid, kevin pollak), yet they casted a no name... they should've casted tracy morgan as the lead. i can't believe i'm still watching this piece of crap.

I guess if Jim Carrey is going to make serious films like The Majestic, they need someone to fill his old shoes. They found him, David Sheridan. This movie was definitely Jim Carrey-esque...not only does Dave Sheridan act exactly like Jim Carrey, but he happens to look remarkably like him. Unfortunately, the script is ridiculous. A few laughs are provided, but mostly it's groans. If you've been missing the funny Jim Carrey, you might want to try this film for a fix.
