Editorial Reviews

[Non-U.S. Format (PAL) Region 2 U.K. DVD - This will not play on U.S./Canada DVD players or those from most other countries outside of Europe. You would need a "multi-region" or "region-free" PAL compatible DVD player or computer.] When a former high school classmate brags about his mob connections, the Jerky Boys -- a pair of thirtysomething slackers who pride themselves on devious prank phone calls -- decide to have a little fun in the mafia underworld. However, when a cop mistakes the Jerky Boys for actual hit men, their innocent game causes more trouble than they would've ever imagined.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hey Toughguy, buy this flick fruity!, October 24, 2003

This review is from: Jerky Boys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jerky Boys Johnny and Kamal go from the audio crank calling world to Hollywood. This movie is basically just about the guys hanging out and doing what they do best: acting like wackadoos. A must watch movie for goombas like me! The movie was co-produced by Tony Danza and Emilio Estevez (an odd couple, what else have they teamed on I wonder?) Anyway, when the guys from Queens make a few calls to the wrong people they end up in the world of the New York mob. Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore is perfectly cast here playing the character he's best known for. Also noteworthy for those who love the fictional mob world, Johnny's mom is the same woman who plays Carmela's mom on Sopranos and before that she was Karen's mom from Goodfellas. For all you other goofy fruitcakes out there, Ozzy Osbourne (whose lines are a little more understandable than on his MTV show--although not much), Tom Jones and many others make appearances in this wacky wild and hilarious film. The only missing cameo was by The Diceman.

This review is from: The Jerky Boys [Region 2] (DVD)

I recently purchased a region 2 format DVD. I was unaware that most DVD players in the USA cannot play this type of DVD, as region 2 is made to be played on European and Asian DVD players. This price is less, because you must be computer genius to figure out how to play these grey zone bootleg DVD copies. AVOID REGION 2

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie is awesome!, April 2, 2002

This review is from: Jerky Boys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There is no denying that The Jerky Boys are going to have a place in American culture history. This movie is an example of the best they have to offer.

This movie has no real plot, theme or real purpose. But, it is as funny as most comedies out there. Kamal and Johnny's interlopings with the likes of Lazarro, Brett Weir, and Tony Zamboni - I mean Scarboni - fills in for a plot. But its the Jerky Boys one liners and quibbles that makes this movie great.

If you want to see a movie that will make you laugh at things mindless and stupid, but make you laugh none the less, this is a very good way to go.
