Chicken Park

There are no words to justify a "film" like this. I'm Italian and I can say that in my Country Jerry Calà has always been famous for a particular kind on films, comic or surrealistic comedy, but he was always an actor and never director. Chicken Park is a shame for me like Italian. I hope Italian cinema continued to use Jerry as a comic (he is good, really!) and not like an artist. In any case, I can say that we have a director that are not so better than Jerry... his name is Ezio Greggio and his parody "Silence of the Jams" is probably worst that Chicken Park...See to believe...

Easily a candidate for worst parody movie ever produced, a movie in which everything is wrong. Jerry Cala, an otherwise talented comedian (watch him in the movies he shot for Ferreri, Risi and Polidoro), debuts as a screenwriter and director, and you can see he is an amateur in both jobs from a mile away. Every single joke falls flat, every actor (including Cala himself) is wrongly cast, every shot looks pedestrian. Just terrible!

This should be the kind of movie I love: zero budget, appalling acting and ridiculous special effects. However, ridiculously unfunny spoofs and lame movie in-jokes manage to completely destroy just about every guilty pleasure this film has to offer.

Not that it is all horrific. Fans of Z-grade cinema will enjoy the scenes set in Chicken Park. The giant chicken effects are hilarious and Bruce, the cross-dressing, giant gay chicken is truly a marvel of our times. Likewise, the randy chicken that rips off Sigourney's top, exposing her breasts. Now, that's just classy film-making!

It's a shame that these moments of poultry flavoured hilarity only account for approximately 10 minutes of the film. The remainder of the movie can only be described as a cinematic car wreck. It's not only poorly made but also excruciatingly boring. I was also genuinely upset to see an actress of the calibre of Rossy De Palma in a film this dire. How has the one time muse of Pedro Almodovar found herself playing a character called Necrophilia, who dresses like Morticia Adams and gets pleasured by "Thing" while watching a video tape of someone undergoing surgery? Someone please rescue this diva from Z-grade movie hell!

In conclusion, this film is nothing but a putrid heap of fresh chicken poo. Fans of trash are advised to simply fast forward to the giant chickens and leave the rest of the film for those with sadomasochistic tendencies.

You can never be sure what to make of this movie. Yes, it is terrible, but it is terrible in a non-sensical, not-to-be-taken-too-seriously kind of way. The basic idea is a thin satire of Jurassic Park, done with chickens instead of dinosaurs, and the lack of plot seems to help it in whatever it was trying to do. There is a sort of oddball humour value to the whole experience, although I'm not sure why. Perhaps it is funny only because it is so bad; some of the jokes are so incomprehensible that the only thing one can do is laugh, if only then with a fierce grimace overcoming your face. In terms of entertainment, I'd say about a four out of ten, in terms of quality in acting, scripting, directing, a zero would not quite be small enough across the board.

I first saw Chicken Park a few years back, and it was crap. I watched it for about 20 minutes and was disgusted. As far as I can remember, there was a giant chicken chasing people, as you can see it goes to show how stupid it was that I can't hardly remember. Absolutley disgusting scenes in it and really is not funny in any way possible. Like someone said earlier, they have tried to do it like the masterpiece Jurassic Park(because they have put a chicken on the front instead of a dinosaur)But Jurassic Park shouldn't be involved with this slag.

What was Jerry Calà thinking? What a fool!

When it comes down to it, this movie shouldn't be viewed by anyone. What a piece of junk.
