Glitch!

Don't be fooled by the title of this film.

"Glitch!" is such a bizarre, yet wonderful piece of cinema. For instance, look at a poster or a video cover of this film. It'll freak you out!!!!! You'll think it's like a totally 80s type of music video compilations or something. Nope, it's really nothing more than a couple of wackos that try to rob a house! It's stuff that makes me laugh until I die; it's that ridiculous! (and good)

Also, you got to feel sorry for that bad guy; remember those "Love Boat" opening credits where the bartender was acting cool at the camera? Sadly, that was him! I feel sorry for you, sir!!!!!

But still, get this movie if you are frowning and need a wonderful smile on your face!

I watched it from the beginning to the end. It had a nice house for a set. The lead actor was cute enough to be a star but he did not have much of an opportunity to do anything with the poor script. The idea is great. A couple of guys want to rob a luxury mansion while the owner is away. Another burglar gets in the way and things quickly go from worse to worser and rock bottom. Burglary can be funny but this is not up to the standards of a great comic like Moe Howard or Chevy Chase or Phyllis Diller. This could have been well done with Bill Murray and Matthew Broderick if Harold Ramis had written it and taken out the breast buffet. A few scenes work well and some of the actors had their moments, including the bodyguard with his sword fight and karate kicks.

At the end of the movie, a conversation about how to be successful in Hollywood is quite well done.

The worst scene might be the pink toy helicopter and Ted Lange having a battle. A couple of poor stunt falls down flights of stairs shouts out "amateur." Photography is fine. Poor Dick Gautier. He must have owed somebody something or he would have run from this in the beginning. It is so far beneath his sterling comedy characterizations in Get Smart. Ted Lange was trying hard here but his role was very lame. Dick and Ted could have done much better with almost anything.

If you make it through the soup and salad and main course of this film, the dessert isn't bad. After that comes the nuts. I hope someone redoes this plot someday with a subtle approach and some great actors. The lead guy could have been OK if he had worked in something like Gotcha, but this wasn't that.

A dopey and oddball mistaken identity comedy from Nico Mastorakis that in the end doesn't get up to hell of a lot. Although Dan Speaker as Brucie the casting shoot's gay bodyguard did make the most of his scenes with the odd comical line of dialogue.

So the gist; Two burglars break into a skeezy movie producer's mansion, whose just left for a holiday trip. While in the process of stealing they're mistaken for the owners when a casting party (for a sleazy b-action pic) is accidentally scheduled for that day. Involving a-lot of bikini clad women. So begins the glitch (and the script's running gag) in the duo's plan. Thinking on the fly, lands them in even more trouble. Very unexpected trouble. Life-threatening trouble.

Also stick around to the very end of the closing credits for the thank you messages. Probably more amusing then the film itself. Even their own copyright warning message took me by surprise.

The film opens with two burglars, "Todd" (Will Egan) and "Bo" (Steve Donmyer), breaking into a mansion owned by a movie producer named "Julius Lazar" (Dick Gautier), who is on vacation with his mistress "Missy" (Amy Lyndon). While there, they encounter two other burglars, whom they manage to subdue. Unfortunately, just as they are about to leave, they are interrupted by a man named "Brucie" (Dan Speaker), who is responding to a request for a bodyguard position Julius posted before going on vacation. Naturally, not wanting to raise suspicion, they quickly assume the roles of producer and director, which satisfies Brucie for the time being. Soon after, they find themselves doing all sorts of outrageous things to keep up the ruse, including inviting dozens of young women over to audition for a movie they are pretending to make. I will just say that this was one of the most boring comedies I have ever seen, mainly because of the complete lack of humor throughout, with one scene after another falling flat. It was pretty bad. So much so that, if it weren't for the many attractive women in this picture, I would have rated it even lower.

Two schmucks try to rob a rich guy's house. They get mistaken as the owners when beautiful women show up for a casting party.

I saw this on Comedy Central. What a s--- of a film.

The unedited version has nudity but who cares? Buy a copy of Playboy and feel sorry for Ted Lange (Issac the bartender from "The Love Boat") who plays the bad guy badly.
