4.0 out of 5 stars
hilarious spoof with a twist for Dame Edna fans,
By Paul Christensen "gadget geek" (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Les Patterson Saves the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Based on the strong recommendation of an Australian friend, I purchased this video on Amazon zShops.Let me tell you - this is ONE funny movie! If you've ever laughed to Dame Edna, you'll HOWL over this movie. Barry Humphries, best known for his Dame Edna character, plays Les Patterson, a bumbling, flatulent, lecherous Australian ambassador to the United Nations. Dame Edna makes her entry halfway through the movie, leading her group "Possums for Peace". If you like light-hearted, slapstick comedy with a touch of brilliance, you'll LOVE "Les Patterson Saves the World".

5.0 out of 5 stars
Stupefying,
By
This review is from: Les Patterson Saves the World [Region 2] (DVD)
Up there with such all-time evergreen classics as "Hangman" and Howard Hughes's "The Outlaw", and, dare I say, "Space Sluts in the Slammer", and "Amazon Women on the Moon", this is a piece of work to take your breath away. Some of the sets were first seen in the Laurel & Hardy epic "Sons of the Desert". Its elegance will floor you. Tasteful, witty, stream-lined, well-paced, intelligible, it isn't. Like those others, it will transfix you: socko, it benumbs. It paralyses with horrific fascination. Crash. You feel your jaw trail along the carpet. Here are some sample lines: "I wouldn't micturate in your cranial orifice if your cerebellum was incandescent"; "I'm in need of a ceiling inspector". Is this review helpful? If so, invert it, and remove 5 stars. Happy Daze.
