Period. Back in high school when my buddy Dave and I watched a bad movie we'd always say...that was bad, but Nothing But Trouble is STILL the worst movie ever.
You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fu*king Poppins... LONDON.
Agreed. At least the worst from the 90s.
"Charming company you keep."
No, its not!
shareI could not agree more with a reveiw !! I used this movie as a measuring board; anyone who ranks this as one of their favorite movies is someone I don't ask for movie recommendations. This movie is so bad, its actually painful to watch
shareOnly bankers don't like this movie.
shareyou sir have OBVIOUSLY never seen, Manos:The hands of fate. serious..watch this turd and you will change your mind.

Maybe but it Manos did not have 4 A list actors that read the script and agreed. I cannot imagine what kind of drugs they were taking when their agent gave them this script. If it were my agent... an asswhipping was going to follow.
shareOne of those A list actors wrote the script and directed the movie.
share4 A list actors that read the script
Chevy Chase as Chris Thorne
Demi Moore as Diane Lightson
John Candy as Dennis Valkenheiser / Eldona
Dan Aykroyd as Reeve Alvin Valkenheiser / Bobo
Chevy Chase's career started slowed down during the 90s, starting with this production, but he was very popular throughout the 80s.
Demi Moore was still on the rise at the time, but her last movie, Ghost, received universal acclaim and she received nominations and awards for her role.
John Candy was clearly at the height of his career at the turn of the '90s, I don't think I need to mention anything specific about him.
Dan Aykroyd was also at the height of his career, after the release of Driving Miss Daisy, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.
Granted they were on the lower end of the "A list spectrum", but they were certainly not B list actors, at that time.
For the record, here's each actor's "Star Currency" ranking, as of today, according to Forbes.
Demi Moore is 110th
Dan Aykroyd is 537th
Chevy Chase is 731st
John Candy is dead...
Long story short, I don't know where you draw the line between the A-list and the B-list, but if Adam Sandler is ranked 12th and considered part of the A-list today, then I'd argue that the 4 stars of this movie were about as famous in the early 90s as Adam Sandler is today.
Again, who were the "A-List" stars?? Maybe out of that list at that time, Demi Moore, but that's sorta pushing it.
shareAs far as comedies go, those were A-listers, just like Adam Sandler is part of the A-list nowadays.
Yes, that's pushing it, but people paid to go see Chase/Aykroyd/Candy play in "bad" comedies the same way people still pay to see Sandler play the exact same character, in the same exact movie, twice a year.
you are being facetious.. stop it
shareManos isn't the worst thing ever, it's mainly just boring as hell.
And Nothing But Trouble, I think, is awesome.

Dan Aykroyd is a genius...

Anyone who stood up and admited that they like "Nothing But Trouble" is bound to be savaged by the mainstream critic. And properly so.
Nevertheless, this is one of my favorites. A guilty and not public pleasure. Rather like being a closet Carpenter's fan (which I also am).
There is hardly a seen in the movie that I don't get a kick out of and there is so much going on that you pick up something new each time you see it.
I am also fond of Demi's outfit. HOT!. I don't care if your a Demi fan or not, this is worth seeing.
This wasn't a movie. It was an abortion. Terrible! Terrible! Whoever had ANYTHING to do with making this movie should have been blacklisted from Hollyweird PERMANENTLY! (And Chase, Aykroyd, and Candy were three of my favorites. UNTIL I saw this.)
shareThis film made me physically ill. Just thinking about it today makes my stomach a little queasy.
Terrible, terrible film.
The script should never have been green lighted.
I'd say it's more horrible than Cannibal Holocaust.
Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.
