I can't believe people actually liked this piece of crap. Congratulations Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd...your careers are over. Any movie that needs Digital Underground to spice things up can't be good.
The fact that the recommendation for those who like this movie is Ghostbusters II is a disgrace. At least GBII had that Bobby Brown song. My recommendation: If you like this movie, run in front of a bus.

Hell no! I don't care how high your standards are, by no stretch of the imagination is this movie the world of all time.
Maybe this movie isn't for everyone, but its hilarious if you "get it".
I don't know how anyone can honestly say that this movie ranks anywhere near Pod People. That movie was one of the most incoherent and badly concieved hunks of flotsam ever shat onto celluloid. Nothing But Trouble wasn't a great movie, but it had it's merits. I didn't sit and watch the entire thing because it was funny, I sat and watched it because it was f*cking weird. The visual imagery and sheer gross-factors found in this movie are striking, and for that, it is an intriguing film. No, Chevy Chase is not a particulalry funny individual, and this movie didn't have me rolling with laughter. But, it did gross me out and weird me out enough to keep me glued to the screen until it ended. I enjoyed it.
shareIts not a question of "getting it". I get it and still think (and I am not ttrying to ridicule those who like it) it is a very bad movie.
I remember thinking what an enormous amount of money (and work) must have gone into the sets, and more so the location shots of Valkenvania (where did they get all those toasters?).
I also remember thinking that Dan Akroryd must have been on one bad acid trip when he spat this out (I see now it was writen by another Akroyd (brother?).
Not funny, but interesting - kind of in the way a Springer episode or a train wreck is interesting. Full proof that a film doesn't have to be good to be entertaining, alas it doen't even have to come close.
You just have to be resigned-
You're crashing by design
Yup, have to agree, definitely ranks high among the rank. Incoherent and nauseating from start to finish.
Demi Moore the only saving grace, like a white flower on a pile of manure.
The hot dog dinner was pretty foul (looked like cooked speckled or rotted Valkenheimers penis still in condoms) BLECHHH!
I was so glad the bizarro Brazilians left the movie quickly, but it still just never got any better.
Would definitely have helped to have asswipe Humpty Hump and crew thrown into the "bonestripper" rather then let go by the insane judge.
NOT ONE LAUGH IN THE ENTIRE SLIMY MESS!!!
A bad trip, septic tank quality ...ect...ect... words fail me
What do you find so terrible about it?
Sure it's not at masterpiece, but being strange and disturbing does not equate being bad.
There is no Emoticon for what I am feeling..!
their careers are over? um, sorry to tell you but they made quite a few movies after 1991.
shareYes it sucks, but then again there are some strangely bizarre but funny parts in it. I think it actual could be re-edited into to something better. But you would have to cut Chevy Chase completely from the film. Maybe add the ridiculous parts from Charlie’s Angles Full Throttle with Demi Moore.
This whole movie came from an old WB cartoon, I saw it one morning on the tube, it was about a mouse being put thru some scary farm equipment like a thrasher. Wish I could remember the name, but can’t, can anyone else?
I fished this DVD out of the $5 bargain bin at Wal-Mart. I'm thinking about organizing a boycott. They didn't have a warning label on it or anything!
I don't know if this is one of the worst movies ever made, but I do know it's one of the worst I have seen. And I've seen literally thousands (I stopped counting at 2,000, and that was twenty years ago).
I'll buy it off ya for a fiver...sure!

Who's to say really..
But it's definitely the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen more than my share.
Yall have lost your minds. This movie is supposed to be stupid. It's called a satire. If you look at this movie seriuosly, then it sucks, but thats not how your supposed to look at it. This movie is funny and extremely entertaining, and im an 40 year old lawyer. I think most of the problem is that none of the kids who watched this movie were old enough to understand some of the older jokes. Try watching it again as a slapstick instead of a seriuos movie.
shareWhat is it satirising?
shareI have to agree, not even worth the $5.50 Target is selling it for to try and MST3K it.
worst. movie. ever.
Comic satire is, at some point, supposed to be funny. This movie is never funny. It's never engaging, or bright, or witty, it's just stupid. It's stupid and insulting to the audiance. This movie literally made me want to die. When I say that it made me want to die, I'm not just being ironic, it actually made me want to take my own life rather than watch another second of it. The actors, director, producer, crew, catering company, and anyone else involved should be ashamed of themselves.
shareI couldn't agree more with you guys, this is an abomination on the face of cinema and every copy should be removed from the public domain, by force if necessary, covered in flammables and burned in a big bonfire at an official ceremony. You may think I'm over-exaggerating, but believe me, after sitting through this incoherent mess of a motion-picture, you'll feel exactly the same way..

I saw this film many years ago and it really did stick with me as the worse movie I had ever seen. Simply when you consider the amount of money that must hae gone into producing this, it must rank as a terrible, terrible mistake. The fact that it appears to be have been written by a relative of Aykroyd stinks of the most misguided piece of nepotism ever.
I have only posted this after watching the file 'Bubble Boy' and debating whether it was actually worse than this film.
It wasn't...
Greatest. Post. Ever.

I still laught when I see the scene with Chevy Chase peering thru hole in the wall into the judge bedroom as he gets ready for bed. It was gross and funny. I suspect some of you takes yourselves too serious to get some of the scenes in this movie.
shareThis movie is one of the worst movies ever made. I would say it's the worst of all time, but I hold that Plan 9 from Outer Space has, and always will have that distinction. But Plan 9 is cute and cuddly in it's obnoxiousness, this movie is just obnoxious. It is an embarrassment that anyone has rated this over a 1. If you have, I encourage you to think long and hard about where you're going in life.
