Moron Movies

The title says it all.

Shot with a home video camera, this so-called comedy features one "actor" in a series of 15-30 second one-liners, none of which are even remotely funny. While it's not as painful to watch as LEONARD PART 6 and nowhere near as bad, it did absolutely nothing for me. So dull, I find it difficult to write a scathing review.

At least LEONARD PART 6 and RAPTOR afforded me that opportunity.

Rating: One sub-mediocre * out of *****

Len Cella is the King of Comedy! Period! This collection of 100, 30 second videos is freaking great! Pure genius! If the SNL guys would take a hint from Mr. Cella they could easily reclaim their former glory. Sketches like "Truck Wrestler", "How To Kick Yourself, parts 1 and 2", and "Why Animals Should Wear Underwear" are just a few of the few comic gems that shine in this treasure chest of pirate's booty. I will secede that there are some sketches in the middle that are repetitive but they are few and the other movies more than make up for them.

If you don't like this collection it could be that the jokes are to sophisticated for you, I recommend watching a movie like Legally Blonde, the jokes in that would probably be less of a challenge for you.

I give this collection five asterisk's out of five.

And you better believe that once I get my hands on a copy of More Moron Movies I am going to watch it because I am sure that Len Cella will not disappoint, and keep me rolling in the aisle all the way through.

Thank you, and God bless you Len Cella, King of Comedy, keep spreading the good word!

These shorts are so Bad they are classic.. a must see..Len Cella is so dumb that it's a riot Didn't want to keep watching but couldn't keep my eyes off of it. A definate cult classic..Unfortunately it's OOP and hard to come by..Again A MUST SEE...Len Cella You are the man!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this out of the corner of my eye at the video store so I rented it. It's not bad, but it's not great. Only an hour that I probably would have wasted anyway. Some of the skits are funny, like How To Remove The Raisins, The Wrapper, Why Jello Makes A Bad Doorstop, and a few of the How To Aggravate skits, but Len's tempo is off most of the time. Timing's good, just some of the skits needed to end sooner than they did. If your curious, watch it. If not, you're not going to lose sleep over it.

This is strange stuff.

Len Cella has compiled a time capsule of odd shorts, some very short... often lasting only a few seconds. They range from extraordinarily dumb to genuinely profound, or vice-versa depending on how open-minded you are. Moron Movies is certainly not for all tastes and it sometimes requires some dedicated soul searching in order to keep from asking yourself, "Why the hell am I watching this?".

However... don't give up on it before asking yourself why somebody would cook up such a silly collection of sketches... and why a commercial distributer would agree to pick it up and distribute Moron Movies in the first place, or why some of these sketches were aired from time to time on Carson's stint of The Tonight Show many years before Moron Movies was actually compiled and distributed. There's some inspired lunacy among the sketches that requires some investigation and thought. Of course, there's also some lamebrained efforts in this mix that make no sense at all. You decide.

Make no mistake, Moron Movies might be totally wacko and so bad it's funny in an Ed Wood Jr'ish sort of way. But then perhaps that was the whole point to begin with. It's sure not for everybody but for those who tend to share the same lunacy as Len Cella it can produce some good laughs... and those people could well find themselves repeating some of the catch phrases contained in Moron Movies in spite of themselves...

"I can type 90 words a minute but nobody will hire me just because I'm a shark."

"Does this aggravate ya? Huh? Heh heh heh..."

"They made this out of an old Buick."

As a last note, it's worth the trip through this stuff to watch Len shuffle a stack of sliced salami.

Hey, if Johnny Carson can find merit in Cella's skits, that in itself is saying something. Some people are going to love Moron Movies. Of course, others will simply record cartoons over it.
