Editorial Reviews

Rodney Dangerfield plays an outrageous television talk show host who gets a network ultimatum to change his act. He responds by seeking an interview with Georgia's governor (David Ogden Stiers) and uncovers a hidden scandal. There are a handful of guilty pleasure moments, such as a scene in which Wally accidentally breaks the penis off one of the governor's marble statues and hides it in his pants pocket . . . you can guess the rest. Otherwise there's not much to write home about, except for a number of cameos, including Oprah Winfrey and Roseanne. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the Funniest Rodney Movie EVER!!!, January 8, 2004

By 

[e-mail] (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meet Wally Sparks [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While the plot of this movie lacks some of the more substance-filled plots of "Back To School" or "Easy Money" (relatively speaking... really, who ever thought the words Rodney Dangerfield and substance could be put together) this is, without a doubt, the funniest Dangerfield movie ever. Between boob-shaped TV rating charts, broken penile humour, and a cast of cameos including Ron Jeremy, this movie will leave you on the floor from start to finish. As usual, Dangerfield attempts to insert some shallow piece of social commentary (which any kindergarten student could see through), but all in all, I have never laughed as hard in my life as when I watched this movie.
A must-see!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not "Back to School" or "Caddyshack", but it will work, July 3, 2006

This review is from: Meet Wally Sparks (DVD)

This movie is not quite as good as Caddyshack or Back To School, but it's still pretty funny... at least as funny as Easy Money. Something you have to know going into a Rodney Dangerfield movie is that you cannot expect the most cerebral movie you've ever seen. With that in mind, if you are looking for a Rodney Dangerfield movie where he does the whole silly one-liner thing, and you've already seen the other 3 movies I've mentioned then this movie will hit the spot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cold Shower Egypt!, March 12, 2000

By 

Papy Hary (Northeast Philly) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meet Wally Sparks (DVD)

Hey last night I met a girl she was so wild! How wild was she! She was so wild I gave her a virgin wool sweater...her body rejected it! This and many other comical pieces in MEET WALLY SPARKS make it a well-rounded film. Cameos by such famous people as Ron Jeremy and Tony Danza (playing a Taxi driver) make this film a must-see.

A line in the scene with Tony when Wally gets in his cab: Tony: Hey wait till I tell the boys I had you in my cab! Wally: Hey Tony first of all you never had me, and if you did have me it wouldn't be in a cab. Tony: Oh it kills me it kills me
