Come ammazzare un miliardario e morire dal ridere

Old school is never dead. Especially when you have "The Fat Boys". In the movie "Disorderlies" it's nonstop fun, and plenty of music, rhyme and reason to bolster the fun. Here you have three rotund orderlies from Brooklyn(The Fat Boys) who get canned and was spotted by the nephew of a rich man in Florida. The reason why he hired them so he can get his greedy hands on the fortune. While trying to adapt in the high life, the three orderlies put some "A" in the word attitude to the people there. Albert(Raplh Bellamy) gets to have fun with them. And when he started to act like them, the boys wished he would talk normal to them when he said "quit illin' you two". However, the trio made him feel young and alive. They never left their hometown flair behind, but they can live it up anyway. When the scheming nephew try to do away his uncle, the team of them and Albert foil the scheme. I don't think this was box office material, but it's great for home use. WORD! 3 OUT OF 5 STARS, Homeboy!

Disorderlies is a dated, but very funny 80's comedy starring the rap group The Fat Boys. I remember this played all the time on HBO when I was a kid. I can honestly say that I still really enjoy it. The film is pretty silly and has a lot of slapstick humor(think The Three Stooges if they were overweight black rappers from NYC in the 80's), but The Fat Boys are very likable, hilarious dudes. The Boys do well in carrying the picture and had real good chemistry with Ralph Bellamy. This is not the best comedy from this time period, but is definitely underrated and much funnier than a whole lot of stuff that gets more fanfare. Disorderlies is very much an 80's movie. Some people might call this film "cheesy", but keep in mind that this is a comedy and this film is a lot of fun. Plus, The Fat Boys rock and they provide the soundtrack to this awesome 80's movie. Great stuff for sure and they absolutely do not make them like this anymore.

The Fat Boys (Mark Morales, Darren Robinson and Damon Wimbley) aren't exactly the Marx Brothers. Heck, they're not even the Ritz Brothers. But their first (and last) big screen adventure (as stars, at least) still manages to hold enough appeal to be watchable.

The former rap stars play bumbling orderlies hired on the hope their incompetence will speed up the passing of the wealthy Albert Dennison (the amiable Ralph Bellamy). Albert's nephew, you see, has some nasty debts to pay off. But the plan backfires when the boys and their antics breath new life into the old man. Never laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes lame, "Disorderlies" is saved by its cheesy, uniquely '80s appeal. If you perked up at the phrase "cheesy, uniquely '80s appeal", then this one's for you.

I just watched this movie last week, and it was one the greatest movies I've ever seen. I almost died laughing. The Fat Boys are not only funny but they are great actors too. They should all have won Oscars for their performances in this movie. Anthony Geary should have definitely took home the best Supporting Actor trophy. He did not even get nominated??? He gives a performance of a lifetime. This is Ralph Bellamy's second role as a millionaire in an 80's film. He earlier appeared in the much inferior "Trading Places". That film doesn't even hold a candle to this one.

The Fat Boys play orderlies who are put in charge of an elderly millionaire (Bellamy). His nephew (Geary) hires them in the hope that their incompetence kills his uncle and he can inherit the money. What an original storyline!! In an era of remakes and recycled plots, it is so refreshing to see something original.

I've always been a fan of "Disorderlies". This movie is filled with goodwill. The Fat Boys (Darren Robinson, Damon Wimbley and Mark Morales) are three very likeable guys. Those guys have charm to spare. Their supporting cast seems to be having a good time working with them. "Disorderlies" has a lot of laughs. Sure, it has its fair share of dumb jokes but it doesn't matter. The Fat Boys are impossible to resist. The movie does run out of steam a little during the action finale but it doesn't matter because Troy Byer is really cute. "Disorderlies" is goofy fun. (I watched this movie on Roku.) (IMDB has a 600 character minimum.)
