4.0 out of 5 stars Super Dave Taken Too Far, June 5, 2006

This review is from: The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave (DVD)

After having to sit through a plethora of poorly written, unimaginative, smug comidies for the past 15 years or so, Super Dave is a breath of fresh air. Is it juvenile? Sure. It is predictable? Yes - but if you don't at least smile when the Super One gets wiped out, in the words of Mark Twain, you were "born an adult and never were a child." The movie suffers from the curse of being worked up from a 3 minute regular skit on the old 80s Canadian TV comedy, "The Bizarre Show," and the material does not lend itself to a full length movie, but it certainly does have some funny moments. Speaking of lame, if you can make not just one, but a series of movies from the old "Ernst" TV commercials, Super Dave is due for a revival.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie For The Family, October 24, 2000

By 

Mark Ito (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave (DVD)

Hilarious stunts, slapstick humor, outrageous characterizations, and just good all around schtick makes this an extremely entertaining movie for the family. The people who put this movie together realize that it was not intended for a cerebral study in filmmaking; it was meant to just flat out make you laugh. My wife and kids were just howling at various scenes ranging from the stinky lunch room to the slammy whammy infomercial. We must have replayed that slammy whammy infomercial over 20 times, proving how kids can appreciate well written comedy. This movie is not for the prudes, snobs, or bores but definitely for the hip, open minded, slapstick in most of us. Watch it with the family without any hesitation.

This review is from: The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave (DVD)

This was a very funny movie, it had me rolling on the floor. Even my mom laughed a little, and she hates the movies I like. The story is Super Dave (Bob Einstien) is injured, and has to retire. But DJ (Steve Van Wormer), a kid he is training, steals his name and leaves him to work for Gil (Dan Hedaya). Well, Supe isn't going to really do anything about, but he meets a single mom (Gia Carides), whose son needs an expensive operation, and he falls in love. So the Super One decides to come out of retirement and show the world who the real greatest daredevil is. Very entertaining, and the direction is fun. The DVD could have at least had the trailer on it, though. I really wish this movie had come out in theatres, because it would have been great to see Super on the big screen. Long live Super Dave Osborne!
