3.0 out of 5 stars Memorable sequel, August 16, 2009

This review is from: Meatballs, Part II [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Because this film has nothing to do with the original "Meatballs", many people write it off as terrible. Actually its kinda bad, but thats half of the charm. The rest comes from the fact it is so fun and stupid. Just like "Caddyshack 2", this is a really strange, kitschy 80s comedy that couldn't get Bill Murray back.

The humor comes mostly from improbable and absurd stuff happening at camp. A Jewish alien asks "Did somebody fart?" and later gets high. The great actor John Laroquette plays a homosexual version of his character from "Stripes". Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens is a sort of replacement for Bill Murray because he's a weird adult who works at the camp and wears Hawaiian shirts and goofy headgear. But he doesn't steal the show like Bill Murray did. He's not as funny either.

No one in this film has the realistic charm of the original kids or counselors. But Richard Mulligan is a cool head of the camp and there's funny moments throughout. Also, the girls here make for better eye candy.

Apparently 7 minutes worth of deleted scenes exist full of nudity and sex. If this film had that and its original non-"Meatballs" title, this film would have become a cult classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars totally weird and fantastic, April 20, 2009

Thaddeus Dench "The Dench" (Canada yo) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meatballs 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Okay, Sandy kellerman doing this fantastic New York 30's Dame job, Dempsey at his mugging heartfelt best and this weird mix of idiotic, Really Idiotic sex gags a la the first two meatballs, and this kind of amazing sensibility of 80's Feel Good Message and Bad Jokes. Dempsey is a pretty brilliant comic actor, and this movie has great kitsch quality. Granted I watched the first half on mute as i was talking to my girlfriend on Skype and then the second half with the sound on. the bikers just left their Initiation Ceremony (weird beaver hats and high pitched chanting) on Water Harleys. the Bikers Woman (the Love Goddess) never leaves her tower because (I just discovered) she's studying for her doctorate in Sociology. The insane scenes with kellerman and Al Waxman are totally loony. GO EIGHTIES!!!!!! I also recognize a bunch of later Semi Famous people in it! Its kind of like Really Old Episodes of Friends, the humor is idiotic, but there's a certain comfort involved. ENJOY!
