This review is from: National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There is only one reason to buy this film--the second vignette, "Anger." It is the funniest twenty minutes of film I have ever seen. Andrew "Dice" Clay is at his ranting raunchy best, getting off some of the best one-liners I've heard in ages. I've shown this to people who despise Dice, and they've howled. The rest of the film droops in comparison, despite excellent casting. The powers that be should have saved me some wear and tear on my VCR and put "Anger" first, because it's the only segment worth watching, believe me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wowiee!!! I'm #1!!!, June 8, 1999

This review is from: National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm the first person to review this! Am I the only one who saw it before? Favorite Deadly Sins is one of the funniest Lampoon movies, and definetely one of the best Lampoon made-for-cable movies. Divided into 3 segments Greed, Anger, and Lust, it features a HUGE celebrity cast: Joe Mantegna, Andrew "Dice" Clay, Denis Leary, Robert Culp, Brian Keith (Uncle Bill!), Ed Marinaro, Pia Zadora, William Ragsdale (Manniquien 2), Charlene Tilton, and one of my favorite actors, Gerrit Graham. Greed is the longest, starring Joe Mantegna as a TV producer who gets a waitress to kill her abusing family so he can turn it into a TV movie and ending with a great musical number. Anger stars Andrew "Dice" Clay as a man who has to go buy tampons for his wife, and ends up being killed. Lust stars Denis Leary as a security guard who falls in love with the babe who's in the window across from him. Very funny; I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Lampoon" like it should to be!, July 14, 1999

This review is from: National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After being blown away by another obscure National Lampoon flick, (The Don's Analyst) which was "Analyze This", only better -- I thought I should check this one out too. What's going on here? Another surprisingly sophisticated, laugh out loud film with an incredible cast. Denis Leary's "Lust" was a stylish little sexy ditty in the vein of "Rear Window." In "Anger," Andrew "Dice" Clay (who I normally despise) actually made me laugh out loud. But it was Joe Mantegna in "Greed" that really shocked me. This piece was nothing short of brilliant. An hour in length, it really is the centerpice of the whole film, and what makes it a keeper. I found it a cross between "To Die For" and "The Producers". This is sharp satire the way it used to be in the magazine's hey day. Intelligent, sexy, cutting edge stuff that pulls no punches. This one really has stayed with me. I've watched it several times now and it holds up great. The surprise "celebrity" cameos are a real hoot but they also lend an invaluable authenticity to the story. How come this wasn't in the theaters?
