A Lot Of Fun On A Limited Budget

[mikecanmaybee · 4/10 · 28 October 2021]

Director Gary graver gives us a lighthearted old fashioned slapstick film starring Mario Romeo Milano (Peter Lawson) who also wrote and produced Nerds of a Feather. The films shining light is beautiful Kathleen Conway as Peter's girlfriend (Jennifer Greenberg). The plot is so convoluted that it would take a manuscript to explain , however, suffice it to say the Russians are out the get their secret formula back from Pat McCormick (professor Yuri) and his sister (Granny Greenberg) played by female impersonator Charles Pierce. Peter and Granny's niece Jennifer try to make it to the marriage alter while a platoon of Russian Little People, A gang of bikers led by (Biker Ben) Charles Dierkop, Residence of an old folks home, a demented cop, and a talking dog all adding to the hilarity. Not every gag works, but there are enough laughs to recommend this silly lighthearted romp. There is enough here in terms of story and script to make a fun remake IMHO.

I'm reluctant to describe a film as "the worst movie I've ever seen" because, undoubtedly, one'll come along which is even lousier. But, without question, this is right down there among the awfulest. Just terrible. Much of the action has no relevance to what precedes or follows. Much of the dialogue is indiscernibly soft, or drowned out by music. It seems impossible that anything could be worse, but, the acting is (or it MIGHT be - much of the spoken part of it is camoflauged by its inaudibility). And the story...well...it develops with extreme immaturity. It insulted my intelligence to watch it (and I ain't very smart to begin with). It's about a Russian scientist, who has fled to the United States and has developed a Life Extension Formula, which causes the Soviets to want him back. His grand niece (?) meets - and wants to marry - a co-worker, who rescues her after her kidnappers (some of them dwarfs) have suspected that she may know her uncle's (?) whereabouts. If that causes you to check this out - I apologize.
