Los Chicos Gordos.......2007-03-14

If you like laughing, smiling, or smirking out loud...this is definitely the motion picture for you. And if you don't like any of the above, why then you should take a good hard look at the "Man in a Mirror" as Michael Jackson pointed out, and think about both changing your ways and--let me be clear--if you want to make the world a better place, I recommend taking a look at yourself and making a change. Sha-na-na-na-na-na.

The Fat Boys burst onto the screen, like a modern day Marx Brothers, and let's be fair...the Marx Brothers were not human beat machines. They had the funny lookin' fella with the moustache and the simple one who can't talk. And one of them was Hispanic. But The Fat Boys are triple threats: they can rhyme, they can act like a mutha, and they are--in my opinion--also obese.

This film centers around their struggles with obesity that is at once poignant and utterly charming. Is it nature or nurture that had led the Fat Boys to their life of high caloric intake and whimsical slapsticking? The director of Disorderlies does not back down from this tough, polarizing question, and by the end of the film be prepared for your preconceived notions and your funny bone to be rocked to the fat core.

My only criticism of this otherwise hilarious thinking-man's (or woman's, or fat man's) dramedy is that it bears a striking resemblance to the Anthony Minghella film, "The English Patient." Why was one recognized by the Oscars and Disorderlies not even nominated? Some may say racism, and others might opine that it's weightism. I say it's both. Which is a shame because it means there will never ever be a man or woman of color who gets an Academy Award, ever!

Smarten up, people. It's not the 90s anymore!

Laugh out loud funny!!!!!.......2007-02-10

I saw this movie the first time it came out, and I was only five years old. It is so hilarious. My favorite scene is when Buffy is trying to give the old man CPR, and Buffy starts yelling MOUTH to MOUTH!!!! I laughed my tail off!!! Buffy passed away in 1995, and he is missed. This film is a must have!!!! I can't believe that this film came out twenty years ago!!!!!

Disorderlies = "Must see movie".......2007-02-10

This has been a favorite for a number of years, However living in New Zealand I could not find it anywhere so a few weeks ago i searched it on Amazon.
This movie is funny, quirky and is definately a good watch.
It revolves around 3 bumbling guys "aka the fat boys" who get picked to look after a desperate son's 'ailing' father. After a business deal gone wrong the son needs money fast and the dollar signs take over. In all there stubbling and bumbling they find a break thru that gives the father a new lease on life much to the son's despair. This is a great family movie, and is a far cry from the smut and dirty language that is taking over movies in the last few years.

ADD.......2006-09-10

I had a really hard time staying focused on the movie. I wanted to like it, I'm not hard to entertain but I kept finding my mind drifting off to everything under the sun. I'm sure, maybe, if I can get myself to sit down and try to watch it again, I'll find something to like about it. I doubt I'll actually be able to work up the desire to give it that second chance though.

HILARIOUS!.......2006-08-03

This is one of my all-time fave classic comedies! HILARIOUS!!!!!
The first 30 minutes will keep you rolling in the floor! WARNING-Don't be drinking anything when they show the scene where they're boarding the jet-or Cool's mom will make whatever you're drinking come shooting out of your nose-it's that funny!
Be sure & catch the opening scene, showing a drunk Helen Reddy, the 70's singer, for all you oldsters of my era. Please don't be afraid to order this super-funny movie-the music is also hilarious, especially when it sounds like "gas noises"!
