The Nutt House

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.

First watch: 1996 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-cable TV-Youtube / Rating: 6.

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.

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!

I like slapstick if done well, but it certainly isn't in this idiotic "comedy" about two twin brothers in different life situations switching roles (boy, compare "Trading Places"). Neither the slapstick nor anything else in this movie is funny. Perhaps the pie fight is a minor redeemer, for even tho it could be better in certain ways, it is so long and thorough that it is somewhat enjoyable. It is also tainted by the stupid antics, however. If you've seen "Spy Hard" and did not like it, do no see this. You gotta be nuts to like this film.

..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.
