Classic Humor.......2006-08-11

This is classic Tim Conway humor. If you like good old fashion clean situational humor then this is a must have. Its hard to find humor that doesn't rely purely on sexual inuendos to force a laugh. But here is the diamond in the rough. Enjoy!

Get it for the longshot.......2004-12-08

The Longshot is a relatively unknown comedy that deserves more attention. It's a story of 4 blue collar type nobodies just shuffling their way through life. You have to pull for them throughout the movie as they are genuinely grounded in their lifestyles, yet reach out for a once in a lifetime opportunity that turns out to be a scam. Which makes the movie only more realistic. Any fan of gambling will appreciate the moments at the track. Each character brings something different to the group, yet no one dominates the action even though Tim Conway appears to lead them. It's a lighthearted comedy that has funny moments sprinkled throughout with a general depressing yet funny atmosphere...Watch for Tim Conway visiting Ms. Dixons apartment, it's one of the funnier sequences in the movie.

Got the Longshot.......2003-12-09

I happen to be a Tim Conway fan, and I love horseracing, so I love this movie. The plotline is you have 4 guys who are losers who like to go to the track and gamble. While at the track, they get a tip from a track worker about his attempt to fix a race using a 40 to 1 longshot named French Majesty and giving it something that will make it run fast. The catch is that he needs money to do it, so our four simpletons go ask a loan shark for the money. They get the money, but find out the mob has their own horse, Papa Chippi, racing in the same race. After finding out the race isn't fixed, Tim takes things into his own hands, running on the track trying to encourage their glue factory reject to win. Does French Majesty come back to beat Papa Chippi? Will the mob break Tim Conway's kneecaps? Will Stump fix the hose on his fishtank? All of these questions will be answered in 90 minutes.

BEWARE! Pan and scan DVD.......2003-06-12

These two movies are not Conway's best, but they are still pretty good. The only problem, and the reason for the 1 star rating, is that the DVD presents these films with the sides cut off. In other words, Pan and scan. Had I know that, I would not have bought this.

Two very funny Tim Conway movies.......2003-05-14

Those who remember watching The Carol Burnett Show know that Tim Conway is perhaps the funniest actor to ever live. The two films on this double feature DVD, Longshot and They Went That-A-Way & That-A-Way, are not legendary classic comedies, but they each contain a number of very funny scenes and offer an overall kooky good time. Tim Conway not only stars in both films, he wrote both of them. Longshot (1985) is particularly noteworthy because it features a reunion of the funniest comic duo of all time, Conway and Harvey Korman. They team up with Jack Weston and Ted Wass to form a team of all-time losers and underdogs. They continually berate themselves for passing up opportunities in the past, missing out on some big payoffs just because they are afraid to take risks. When a stable worker from the tracks tells them he can guarantee the victory of a longshot horse in a certain race, they decide, for once, to go for it all the way. Their partner in the stables has a special little pep pill that will make the horse run like the wind, and he agrees to slip the pill to the horse if the guys will place a bet for him along with themselves. Logic and common sense says the horse can't possibly win, but the guys not only place a huge bet on the horse, they borrow all of the money from a local mobster. As the movie progresses, there is a lot of pretty funny physical comedy, Jonathon Winters shows up to add his own twist of fun to the proceedings, and the ending plays out much better than I expected.

They Went That-A-Way & That-A-Way is actually the older of these two films, dating back to 1978. In this one, Tim Conway teams up with Chuck McCann as incompetent police officers who are sent to jail undercover to try to find out where a notorious bank robber stashed the money from his heist. No one at the prison knows they are cops, and no one would believe it, anyway, as these guys are just pathetically slow about a lot of things. They find the money a few days before they are set to be released, but to their great dismay the only person besides themselves who knows they aren't really criminals suddenly dies. Faced with the dire circumstances of a ten-year stay in prison, the duo decides to break out of jail and take the recovered money to the governor. There are some really funny scenes in this movie, including a truly classic scene wherein Tim Conway finds himself ordered to pull the warden's bad tooth and has just a little bit of trouble with the Novocain - this scenario reminded me a lot of some of Conway's classic performances on The Carol Burnett Show. Another memorable scene features Conway impersonating a Japanese translator at the governor's party. Interestingly, this movie features two characters from The Dukes of Hazzard - Enos (Sonny Shroyer) and Ben Jones (Cooter). This ending of this movie did leave me feeling a tiny bit cheated, but I can't complain about all the laughs I had along the way.

longshot.......2006-03-12

not the best of films to see recomended for the younger audience ages 5-10

been looking for this dvd forever.......2006-01-08

and when i finally found it, it sucked! i expected it to be sumwhat stupid silly but it ended up being one of the worst movies ever. the whole story line doesnt even fully make sense. i think this was pearlmans idea to make big bucks off all the boy bands. if u like boy bands (like i do) ur prolly better off with the soundtrack, not the movie. the lines are cheesy, the main characters have no acting backgrounds...jus good looks, which is really pathetic. i paid 7 bucks for this movie and im feeling ripped off already. pretty sad.

WONDERFUL!.......2004-10-09

I loved this movie SOOOO much, its great.. :). It has an even balance and puts people in there you wouldnt expect (ex: Britney Spears as a flight attendant). Its one of those movies that if ur not looking for a minute, u could miss something :). Great storyline too with Lazlo and everything, great great movie- one of my favorites. And, to all BSB fans out there- Howie D.'s sister- Pollyanna is in it *she's a waitress, answers the little girl's question about when the pizza will be ready.* Has something for everyone in it.

wow.......2004-08-18

albert "i thinkim the man" arcuri and joey "my last name is retarted" sculthorpe suck...and so does this movie...don't waste the 5.50 at walmart on it...
