National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. There are three parts to it, "Anger", "Greed", and "Lust". Fast forward during "Greed" and "Lust". They were NOT funny. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of both Denis Leary and Joe Montegna but these two segments just didn't cut it.

Andrew Dice Clay cracked me up the whole time he was on screen. He is so good at playing a jerk. I first saw it at a party at somebody's house. I don't think I have laughed so hard in my life. Everybody was. In fact I was laughing so hard I was crying! I don't think a movie has ever gotten that much of a reaction out of me. Clay rips on everyone he encounters, and I do mean EVERYONE! It's hard to believe that someone could possibly be that much of a jerk, that's what makes it so entertaining.

Just because of that segment, this is the funniest movie ever made. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO own this movie!!! It's a cult classic.

National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins is a pretty funny movie. Why? Because their are so many good stars and actors (or that the two leads are hilarious on and off the stand-up stage). Denis Leary stars and directs (debut) this movie about greed, anger and lust. Also in this film is Andrew Dice Clay as Richard Spencer. And these characters plus Joe Montegna and Anabella Sciorra provide laughs in this tale of what started hollywood. Funny as hell. A

This is one of my all-time favorite comedies. It is written a trilogy. The movie's director, Dennis Leary also has his acting debut in the first portion, Lust. I always fast forward through Joe Montegna in Greed as it is drawn out a bit too long. It is funny but I'm really not a big fan of his and I am only really interested in seeing the third portion.

Watch Andrew Dice Clay in his best comedic performance as he stars in Anger. This portion has become a cult classic for stag parties. It's about an upset man, Richard Spencer (played by Andrew Dice Clay) who is sent out to the local convenience store to purchase tampons. His frustrations and how he interacts with others is priceless. Of course if you detest Andrew Dice Clay, you won't like this movie.

You can fast-forward through Lust (a cutesy Boccaccio-like vignette), and Anger (the Diceman riding a one-joke pony about a guy ticked off because he has to buy tampons for his wife).

Greed, however, is pretty funny. Joe Mantagna is a producer for those TV movies of the week which are based on today's headlines. In order to beat his competitors to the hottest stories, he decides to go in for vertical integration .... creating his own tabloid crimes.

When his plan backfires he still gets sweet revenge by producing his own electrocution, with Pisa Zadora singing "My Way" on his behalf.

OK, It isn't "Annie Hall", but it has some laughs.

After the "Anger" segment with Andrew Dice Clay, I turned it off. It was probably one of the worst films I have ever viewed in my life...along with CONEHEADS and the Jurassic Park sequel.

The acting was horrid, the dialogue was downright bad, and it wasn't funny in the least bit. I don't remember laughing once.

Do yourself a favor and SKIP IT. I don't know what made this film a "National Lampoon" but stick to the Christmas one or the one where they go to Wally World. But for the love of GOD, please don't torture yourself by viewing this utter crapola!
