Chicken Park

I made the horrible mistake of hiring this movie to entertain my 12 year old cousins while I babysat them. Unfortunately, it was one of the stupidist things i've done, as this movie is most probably the worst thing I have ever seen, with horrible jokes about gay chickens and the Addams family. The only reason I actually watched most of it was because my cousins refused to let me turn it off because it had the occasional topless girl in it. Please, avoid at all cost.

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...

I am Italian and remember having watched this "movie" on TV a year or two after its supposed release. I say "supposed", because - though it was filmed in 35mm - this movie never went into cinemas (if you have seen it, you can imagine why...) It is simply unwatchable, far beyond any reasonable z-movie style. Jerry Calà is a comic actor, who in his beginnings played in a rather experimental comic group (I gatti di vicolo Miracoli). After that, he collected a series of blockbusters repeating more and more his down-to-earth jokes (mainly based on puns associated with advertisement and idioms), together with other comic actors and the current Italian "playmates". With this film I think he tried to re-create such a mixture, but failed in improvising himself as a director...

Don't waste time: do not watch this movie.

Think of 'Chicken Park' and 'Kramer vs Kramer'. I would rather watch Chicken Park again, at least it didn't pretend to be anything more than a quick, cheap rip-off. And there were some mildly amusing parts, and a fairly attractive chick (human variety) who bared her breasts. El cheapo and too dependant on tiresome sexual referencing trying unsuccessfully to be funny, but tolerable because it knew it was bad.

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen, Chicken Park is not improved by its vague attempts to be funny. It is maybe - just maybe - worth watching out of a sense of sheer horror that someone would make a travesty like this. From a deranged plotline involving the main character's fighting rooster to a somehow even more impossible senario with giant prehistoric chickens running down the characters and devouring them, this film can only be described as awful. If you have a burning desire to see a movie where a man is sexually molested by a giant homosexual rooster then Chicken Park is for you. The excrutiating awfulness of it aside, the chicken puppets aren't actually too bad. I can't remember why I hired it, but may I be protected from such a self destructive urge in the future.
