The Nutt House

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!

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.

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.

Seriously, the Trivia for this film says that the writers/producers/whatever had their names removed from the credits 'after' they saw the result??? What about paying attention 'during' the filming...I cannot understand how 'anyone' could have needed to wait until 'after'the filming was complete to realize that this was a turd on the face of humanity. I don't know what that means exactly, but it sounds bad and that's the point.

I needed a random inoculation after seeing this film, not to mention the days, no 'weeks; of grovelling to my friends who I convinced to watch it with me.

Picture this....the lights are down, the popcorn is out, I've built the mood by describing the trailer I saw on another Video...the film starts....and within about 5 minutes I notice the sound of popcorn being chewed has stopped. Silence has filled the lounge room....

Of course, in hindsight I should have turned the video off, but like a train crash where the driver of the train turns out to be the conductor's pet poodle rather than a qualified individual, a certain fascination took place. Sure, I felt sorry for all of us knowing we would never be the same, but we were all unable to look away...yet no words were spoken. Stunner perhaps? It's possible, but 13 years on I still have flashbacks to the ridiculous sheep-like noise which echoed through the room every time the main character had a personality change...

Who can forget the looks on the faces of my fellow movie watchers who moved straight past blaming the film itself for being so bad to blaming me for renting it. I can still feel the stabbing pain of their dagger laden looks....the "Well...I'm going home" which was 'overlooked', simply for a swift and silent exit from my house. The empty feeling I was left with in a house full of sleeping parents in one room, sleeping brother in another, and me...alone in front of the television watching the credits (sans Writers/Producers mind you) roll up the screen, my thoughts bypassing the obvious "what were you people thinking!!" and moving straight onto "What the hell just happened!?"...

My life was never the same...(until of course I saw Jaws 4 when in fact it was 'exactly' the same as when watching this!) So, I highly UNrecommend this film.

Check out my 'other' UNrecommended films cos I sure can pick 'em!

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.
