4.0 out of 5 stars This is so over-the-top it's tremendous, March 18, 2007

This review is from: The Oscar [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Combine bad acting, a script with so many cliche lines it's laughable and a storyline that's so predictable that it makes soap operas look serious, and you have one of the greatest bad movies ever made: "The Oscar." This film is so outrageous that it easily crosses that so-awful-it's-tremendous line. Stephen Boyd is so caricaturish as Frankie Fane that he's hilarious. Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but he has no idea where he left his acting ability. Elke Sommer, Jill St. John and Eleanor Parker may form the worst trio of headlining actresses in the history of Hollywood. Ernest Borgnine is a sure sign that the cast is comedic, especially when legendary comedian Milton Berle is ludicrously cast in a dramatic role. I'm not even going to get into Jack Soo as the houseboy. All I can say is that if you can get a rare copy of this cult classic -- which for integrity purposes never seems to find its way on television -- grab it and enjoy. Bad never felt so good.

Who doesn't love the Oscars altho this movie is watchable for all the stars it doesn't get any better then watching the 2008 Oscar presentations. Half hour after its over you forgot who was nominated and who won. Watchable just to see all the stars and how bad they can all be together in one movie.
