Garotos do High Society

Okay, I see that from the comments that this film was made for the US market and as we both seem to be diverse in opinion when it comes to humour. This gem I first watched as a rental, as I could find nothing more in the shop that interested me. Well for a change it paid off, as I to this day still talk about the funniest film I have ever watched. Yes it's base humour but it's base humour at it finest. I spilt my beer in the scene with the posh woman holding the dog and he asks the dog "is that nasty lady squeezing your genitals"? I have recently returned from Cannes where all the woman carry their dogs and that scene kept flashing back to me. This film is a peach and a rarity, dumber and dumber came nowhere near it in laughs per minute.

One of, if not the, funniest movies I've ever seen. The downside is the humor is rude, uncooth, foul-mouthed, nasty, sexual innuendos, stupid and just plain idiotic!! Guaranteed to make anybody laugh if they can stomach it. 8 pts.

A great movie if you understand what you are getting into. Check your brain and all shreds of rational thinking at the door. The acting is over the top and the serious dialogue is completely unbelievable as there really is no true point to this movie. That is precisely why I love it.

Long before Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels made idiocy popular on the big screen with "Dumb and Dumber", two enterprising men, Paul Rodriguez and Michael O'Keefe, strove to make completely base humor acceptable to the American masses. They definitely succeeded. These two (and the able supporting cast) make what easily could have been a poor movie into something funny. One has to wonder exactly how much ad-libbing was going on in this one (at least on Rodriguez' part).

Don't miss the charm school scene with the wine tasting. The only other time I had fallen out of my chair laughing was when Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels were trying to douse the fire of the peppers in their hamburgers with ketchup and mustard. Those of you who have attentively observed both will understand what I mean.

When I saw this movie the first time I thought it was soso. Since I'm a listener to Mike Oldfield I thought I'm going to give another chance. I looked at it again this time when I wasn't tired. What a super movie! The jokes gets so lost in the translations so you shouldn't watch it if can't follow the English. Obviously you have to have a certain sense of humor to really appreciate a movie like this. It's not the plumpness in the jokes made by Jake's partner but instead the total charm of these dim-wits who try to make it. I told my friend at the pub about the last joke "as long as I have a face..." and I got a couple of good laughs from some girls that overheard our conversation. A movie I really recommend.

Cheers

This was by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It is SO 1980's. This movie is SOOO politically incorrect and is chocked full vulgarities, innuendos, and just overall silliness. The fact that this movie is an "Equal Opportunity Offender" is what makes it so great. Don't watch this movie if you cant take a joke.

If you are ready for 88 minutes of laughter at the expense of crude jokes and questionable acts with food (you will never look at a roasted turkey or a roasted pig in the same manner ever again), then go and rent this movie.

Please keep in mind that the production studio has not yet released this to DVD, so if you go looking for it at your local video store, check the VHS section. *Peace in your 'hood* - The Infochick
