4.0 out of 5 stars This Is Why We Need Drive-Ins To Come Back!, May 9, 2009

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: American Drive-In (DVD)

Hard Rock Zombies is playing at the local drive-in, and an assorted cast of characters are all there to watch it one evening. There are too many oddball characters to go through, but some highlights are a film snob who continuously refuses his date's advances to critique the film, a nerd who has seen the film numerous times and shouts out the dialogue, a guy trying to get his girlfriend to go down on him, two little old ladies, a prostitute operating out of her trailer, mischievous children, a drunk projectionist, and a guy trying to make a drug bust to become mayor. Horror fans will recognize Phil Fondacaro starring as one of the stars of Hard Rock Zombies(which he is) who comes to the drive-in to watch and praise his performance in the film.
Most of the film shows these characters engaged in a bunch of pranks and shenanigans, but a plot unfolds as Jack and his girlfriend Bobby Ann are continuously harassed-and later assaulted-by a gang of four thugs. Numerous attempted rapes and beatings by these thugs kinda offset the comedy aspect.
I'm obviously in the minority here, but I really enjoyed this movie. Even with all it's cliched characters and situations, and it's juvenile attempts at humor, I found myself not so much laughing out loud(which I did do though a time or two), but pleasantly grinning often.
Makes me wanna watch Hard Rock Zombies again, and I never thought I'd say that!

3.0 out of 5 stars The film that Danny Nucci doesn't want anyone to see!, August 5, 2003

By 

James McDonald (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Drive-In [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Mature adults only! Not for children to see! This is the film that Danny Nucci doesn't want anyone to see (as he jokingly said on a Yahoo Chat Event on March 7, 2001). This film contains a whole cast of characters. They all come to the "City Limits" Drive-In to see the mock film "Hard Rock Zombies". You will meet the booth lady who has to remind people about their raffle tickets. But she can hold her own when it comes to four thugs, like Sarg and Mike. You've got a movie projector man who is nuts. The only nice people are Jack and his country girl, Bobby Ann. Also in the Drive-In is a gay guy and his straight-acting friend, Benny. A fat family that believes in dieting, but here at the drive-in, they will have their last feast. Then there is the man who is a candidate to be Mayor. All he has to do is crack a case. He sends his young son out into the drive-in field to see who has "Mary-Jane". His daughter, Deena, goes to find some ...action of her own. Two old ladies come to see "Hard Rock Zombies". Then a nice dwarf man (Phil Fondacaro [H.G. Golas]) who is an actor in the film that is showing is so excited at seeing himself and his great performance. But that's not all. More zany people come to this drive-in. You have a young Asian couple. He's in the mood, she's not. Then she is in the mood, but he is not. Another couple, "Danny" and "Marge". Danny wants her to do a certain ... act for him. She won't do it because it's gross. He keeps trying to make her do it. Then you got the prostitute in the camper. Guess what she makes the candidate-for-Mayor do? Then you have the two sex-crazed couples with the old man in the next car watching. Why doesn't Danny Nucci want anyone to see this film? He is the boy in the red shirt on the bicycle. And don't forget the prize is a bouquet of roses, so keep your raffle tickets.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tackiest Drive-In Movie Ever Made, Making It One Of The Best, March 8, 2011

This review is from: American Drive-In (DVD)

Terrific fun cult film about a night at the drive in where Hard Rock Zombies is screening, what you haven't seen Hard Rock Zombies?
No need to get that film because the best of er being the worst of is shown in this film so you really are getting two films in one.
I thought this film was a fun nostalgic trip and got a real kick out of it, it made me laugh.
Highlights being: The two elderly ladies, one with a hearing problem ( I think she is the elderly lady in The Wedding Singer) trying to make out the films plot.
The overweight family who use the night at the drive in as a pig out night.
The scene where some guy swaps the sound on screen to a couple making out (this scene is such a laugh) plus others but what's up on the screen is funny too as Hard Rock Zombies is made fun of here and fittingly so.
Give it a watch, you'll either love it or hate it.
I love it, it's fun.
