Blue Bell

my friend and i pooled our pocket change and bought this at the drugstore, on tape, for 99 cents. and boy, were we glad we did!

this movie is ungodly bad, i mean really incredibly ridiculously bad. it's embarrassing when it tries to be funny and more so when it gets salacious, which is frequently. the acting is awful, the plot negligible and the fashion? *shudder*

highly recommended for anyone who's glad it's not the 80s any more and wishes to debunk some nostalgia.

You could just pass this off, as another 80's teen T and A Porky's type movie of straight to video status, but boy, you're in for surprise, if you give this one a chance. The movie, not badly made, mind you, is a lot of fun, like the fun park, our young good looking foursome end up at. Truth: part of the film's magic, rests in the head actor's shoes, that of Carl Marrotte as Jack. He has such great, winning personality and irresistible charm, you'd almost want to meet the real actor in a person, or watch him in other movies. Working as a cleaner at a local amusement park, with no time to sleep and one more day of freedom, before high school kicks back in (God, how times have changed where teens were played by older looking actors) he coaxes his best friend to come with him, yeah, back to the amusement park, where on the way, they fall for two hotties, first not really matching. They do a preferred swap, a roller coaster ride/feeling up scene, earlier on in the peace you could say it's titilating, if one sided. Prior, these three, well two, if you want to get more technical, brainless dolts, thieves rip off a diamond, where the other one of higher IQ, but still really pathetic, stashes the diamond, in one of these teddy bears, which Jack's friend David wins it after having a game, with his new found love. Even the thieving characters are so much fun, larger than life buffoons, who prove no much for our young likable four, who you actually get to know and really care. Another hit, is the title song. BTR is one of those overlooked films, a jewel in the rough, if you pardon the pun. Both girls are such cuties, Angie, the cuter one, even offers us an open CU t and A shot, as she frankly checks herself out. You question was that image really necessary? I think "Yes". Fun from start to finish, a cute little, sexy dream, sequence of better days for Jack, opens the film. One qualm. Why didn't the thieves just run off later with the diamond while taking refuge in one the stars, instead of hiding it inside the t.v? Well, we wouldn't have a movie, or such a fun and entertaining film that exists, back in ol' 85.

The events of "Breaking All The Rules" almost all take place at a place called Fun Park, but there is absolutely no fun to be found in this dismal Canadian comedy. I was able to forgive the movie for its unanswered questions like why a valuable gem is being exhibited in a third rate amusement park, but not for much else. There are plenty of attempts at humor, and while some are *almost* funny (such as the scene taking place in the bus), in the end *none* of the attempts at humor actually work. The cast seems to know they are in an utter bomb, because their performances come across as labored and with no sense of having any fun. In fact, the director seems to be feeling the same way as his poor actors, because the energy level is woefully low and there is absolutely no feeling of enthusiasm or passion. The icing on the cake is the cheap feeling of the entire enterprise, from the shabby production values to the grating songs on the soundtrack. The Canadian government actually provided funding for this movie, and while I normally like it when the government takes a break from funding boring and pretentious art films as it usually does for something more commercial, in the end this so-called commercial film is almost as tough to sit through as those painful art films.

Yep the director of Breaking All the Rules deserves a good old fashioned Alabama ass whipping. Why? Because anyone who can sit there and direct this train wreck deserves severe bodily harm. BTW I just read that the director, James Orr was arrested for beating his girlfriend Farrah Fawcett back in 1998.

The movie is pure junk. It's about two teenage boy trying to get laid and a diamond thief. The thieves are stupid. They hide a stolen diamond in a stuffed animal at one of those carnival games. Then our two horny teens win the animal for their girlfriends. One of the most stupid moments comes when one guy says "We're gonna do something that begins with an "F" and ends with a "K". The other one says, "Is there a "U" in it?" They wind up gong to "Fun Park". Yes that was a very bad joke and this is one of the main reasons the director needs his ass beat. The only good things in this movie is at the beginning they play "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters and at the end they play "Let the Music Play" by Shannon. The sex scenes in this movie are so dumb, nobody these kids age can be that ignorant about sex. This movie should be shown to film students to show them what NOT to do!

Ok I've said enough bad things about this movie. Avoid it like the plague

I loved this movie when I was younger. I haven't seen it in years, but would love to see it again. I was hoping it would come out on DVD. I loved Carolyn Dunn and her cool hair! And the lead guys were so hot especially Thor Bishopric. Anyone who lives for amusement parks and craves that one last day of freedom before school starts should check this movie out. I have never seen any of the actors in other movies so I don't know if anyone else knows who they are, but the acting was fairly good for such a low budget movie. I didn't like the so-called bad guys in the film, but they did add some comic relief. I also liked the final scene when they played the classic 80's hit "Let the Music Play" by Shannon.
