The Nutt House

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.

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.

I bought this film from a local pound shop so I cant say I'm surprised at how bad it was,but I have had some enjoyment out of this film. But it has to be the most stupidly bad comedy film ever made, while watching the film you cant help but think that if the story was put in the right hands it probably would have been a good movie (with Jim Carrey in the lead and maybe David Zucker directing) but it is one of those films that is so dumb SO badly acted and directed that you actually cant help but laugh all the way through it, so does this make it a good comedy because its funny for all the wrong reasons?, NO! its absolute crap. You can definitely see why raimi took his name off the film.

What are the odds that you will find a movie so random, so different, so interesting, and so unusual that it makes all other movies seem obsolete? "The Nutt House" is one of them! In fact, because of these descriptors, it's actually quite hard to tell whether or not this movie actually make sense to me at all. Most people feel like a rock or a boulder after watching this film, but I felt changed after seeing this. It's one of those movies that is actually worth laughing at. No other movie out there is more different or strange than "The Nutt House." As for you guys out there that don't like these kinds of movies, don't watch it. For the brave and the bold, go rent it!
