Nutt: Nasceu Burro, Não Aprendeu Nada, Esqueceu a Metade

This one is for Raimi (and stooge) fans only. It's really not that bad, I think that Sam perhaps took his stooge imitating(as seen in all Raimi movies) a little far. In fact you can imagine this being a movie from the Stooge/Marx stable the main character(who was written for Bruce Campbell obviously) is a mix of Harpo Marx & The Stooges. It kind of trails off towards the end. The acting is all over the top silliness with sight gags stuck in everywhere for the hell of it. Although he didn't want recognition as writing this I can imagine this is a movie that Sam still enjoys watching it just seems his level of humour.

Revisiting this slapstick comedy developed by the famous Sam Raimi with a stelar casting in a fresh and original offer, I've see some kind of grudging from the critics and mainly by the bitter viewers that somehow scorned it by some bad sequences only, however it has their enchants in several scenes, overall it wasn't devoid of interest whatsoever.

The main premise starts when a recently born twin brothers Nattan and Philbert Nutt start a clash in few time, then her upset mother decides get ride of the troublemaker Nattan baby to be raise in a foster care, sadly Nattan didn't stay too long there, aftermaths moving to several institutions until be diagnosed as nuts Nattan (Stephen Kearney) developing multiple personalities, triggered when receives a hit at your head, he dreams be back at your home to live with his beloved brother Philbert (Stephen Keaney in double role).

Philbert is in the top due he got married with a wealthy woman Diane (Amy Yasbeck) he has been considered to running for be the next America's president, notwithstanding be selfish, greedy and unfaithful with his gorgeous maid Miss Tress (Traci Lords) that exposes all her sexy body unapologetic, Nattan got running away from the asylum and appears at his brother house, after that all kind of mix up take place there becoming in chaos where Nattan is misidentified as Philbert in several occasions, scattered so funniest moments of endless laughs.

The Nutt house aside glitches of low level in some sequences makes up for in others that in part prevail upon the bad ones, also featuring many fine actors from the past as Peter Lupus, Stella Stevens, Constance Towers, Robert "Doug" Colbert, Emil Sitka as a Stooges's tribute as in flying pies sequence, without forget the old acquaintance of Sam Raimi's Robert Trebor, as far I know The Nutt House never came out officially in Brazil, although I had intent to purchase it from any country, one my guilty pleasure.

Thanks for reading.

Ah, there one always complains about modern comedies, specifically the Friedberg / Seltzer productions like "Epic Movie", "Disaster Movie", "You-name-it-movies" and how the genre of slapstick comedy is going down the drain. However, it would be unfair to blame this phenomenon to the 21st century; there has been crap in the early 90's too, and there's no better example than "The Nutt House".

Let's start off, talking about the cancer that's ailing this film: leading man Stephen Kearney. Let me say that, I've been laughing harder while pulling faces in the mirror (and I'm not good at pulling faces). Kearney's profile claims that he's one of the most prolific comedians in Australia, which may be true but leads me to the conclusion that Australia is far away from anywhere and that entertainment in the outback's is scare – I plan a career as comedian there myself; my show would consist of me smashing pies in my face, while hopping on one leg.

Checking out the IMDb profile of director Adam Rifkin, it caught me by surprise that he went on to direct "Detroit Rock City", a comedy which is among one of my personal favourites; living proof that nobody's beyond redemption – however, products are and if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that there's no redemption for "The Nutt House".

It's been an old tradition that, after watching a movie – no matter whether good or bad – that I'll check the trivia page on IMDb. Couldn't help but notice that three actors had their final appearances in this film – I couldn't help but to think of "Airplane" and those poor suicidals.

As for the rating: if you see one star above this review, it comes from IMDb, not from me – from me it get's nothing.

As to this thing 'almost ruining my Christmas', well, it's true: some bozo at the local television station saw it fit to air this abomination on Christmas – and I was too well-fed and lazy to switch!

this movie is stupid. some parts might get a giggle or two but this is a really silly film. it's ok if you like slapstick comedy or you are a person who is a fanatic of dumb and dumber or chevy chase films, but otherwise, you might like to leave this one on the shelf. but for a laugh get it, if just to see the stupidity.

..but enough for a morning. I wouldn´t go rent it not even for a buck, but I would watch it again on T.V. It is entertaining, but it´s really stupid and the actors aren´t that good. Let´s just say it barely makes the cut. Besides, it´s a little surprising watching X actress Traci Lords trying to act in a comedy.
