Lauging Boy - half-wit & whole-ass - It's great!!.......2006-04-08

It's great when an independent film generates honest, knee-jerk laughter - and Brasil J. Grisaffi's "Laughing Boy" did just that. Right from the opening sequence and titles, I got the feeling this comedy was a step above average. The spot-on performances and witty writing made this movie a real treat. I always appreciate it when filmmakers cast the right actors for the appropriate roles.

Grisaffi takes the lead role (simultaneously directing & producing) of Cody MacKenzie, a half-wit, rude & lewd man-boy who spends the entire film sticking his foot in his mouth and insulting just about every character - wife included - that walks into the film. While the over-the-top sophomoric [sophomoronic?] antics might have been served well done by a lesser talent, Grisaffi immediately wraps his arm around the audience with tongue in cheek and wins us over to the Dark... I mean, the Dim Side.

With a series of back-to-back scenes of outrageous characters delivering hysterical dialogue paired with some wonderful physical humor, "Laughing Boy" kept my wife and I amused for the long haul. And the DVD commentary with cast and crew is just as entertaining as the feature. Technically, the quality of production was excellent.

I'm glad I took a chance on "Laughing Boy". It generated more laughs than a lot of contemporary Hollywood comedies. Kudos!

BUY THIS DVD!!!!.......2005-06-29

Ahem. Buy this dvd and have a great time watching it with a friend. I found "Laughing Boy" to be a pleasent surprise coming from an independent film maker. I really loved Tiffany Grant as Alicia Dimdales and several of the other actors that appear here as well. The director gets the most from his cast and the extras included in the dvd are halarous. Reading over the reviews here.....I only found one bad review among people that have purchased this. Highly recommend this dvd!!!!!

Unexpected Surprise.......2004-12-31

A Christmas gift to myself! An unanticipated surprise. I did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did. Something warm, and human about the characters--about the situation portrayed... The party nobody really wants to attend. The people nobody wants really to associate with. Salvation comes through the honesty, the immediacy of Cody the Offensive One... The characters, especially Cody, stay with me...

Save money! Buy the DVD direct from Burgertron. Go to the "used" section. Buy for $8 from Burgertron. A real bargain. Money well spent.

Run... run while you still can........2003-06-15

After checking out the reviews for Sidewalks of New York, I noticed that someone who liked that movie recommended, Laughing Boy. Curious, I bought it and then went through the painful experience of watching it. Going back to the positive review, I noticed that the name of the person who raved about Laughing Boy was the same as the director of the movie. So I only have to assume that the positive reviews found here are from the sound guy, camera guy, and the director's mother, respectively.

Lots of chuckles -- and some serious ideas........2003-05-27

The story is about a house party that seems well enough until maverick guy Cody shows up to make fun of all the up-tight people. Even his supportive wife is tested by his shenanigans. Ultimately, he is faced with choosing between his wacky sense of integrity and his livelihood.

I expected only a joke-filled, silly, thin plot, because of the first sketch. However, the opening is the least successful part of this film, and the film's true, deeper meaning sneaks in slowly.

The true purpose of the film lies in the use of familiar characters that are confronted by issues of social and personal conformity. By use of a good story line, the film is engaging, as well as both funny AND thoughtful.

Product Description

Cody Mackenzie and his wife Judy have been invited to a very speical party - and he'd better behave himself if he knows what's good for him. Judy thinks going is a great career move for Cody, but he is only going top rub elbows (or anything else) with his dream girl...his beautiful boss Elizabeth Sheridan.
