I've seen better.......2007-03-01

A high-school kid could make up a better story. Watch out for the Liger! Part Lion part Tiger

Hard to Remember.......2007-02-20

Anytime a movie doesn't stick in your head, you know it could have been better. That being said, anytime you don't forget a movie, you know it can't be that bad.

Applying the above principle has led me to give "Ice Cream Man" 3 stars.

I'll never forget how well Clint Howard distorted my memories of long-forgotten ice cream men I encountered growing up. Most of them (I think) were pretty cool guys working a part-time summer job. But after seeing this movie, I can DEFINITELY imagine that some of them could have been hiding lots of secrets (like dead people and stuff).

Anyways, I kept hoping that they would make a joke out of the popsicle commonly known as the "Firecracker". If I had written the movie, I would have given someone a Firecracker that REALLY WAS a firecracker! Get it? Just think: one lick and KABOOM! Ha! I don't recall if the "Ice Cream Man" killed people or anything, but it appears to be a horror film.

Or a sulfuric "Chaco Taco" (that's an ice cream treat)! Talk about hot sauce!

This movie definitely gets the creative juices flowing. Inspiring and nostalgic - a DEADLY combination (get it?).

Please gift this movie to me.

0 STARS: This is STUPID!.......2006-06-28

"Ice Cream Man" is not scary...it's not funny...it's just plain STUPID. You know, I don't have a problem with an ice cream man that turns into a homicidal maniac...that's not a bad idea. But, they made a joke of this movie. The acting is horrible and the movie sucked to no end.

Should Have Had 31 Sequels.......2006-06-27

The 90s started giving us horror villains that were more on the campy and silly side. It must have started with Leprechaun, then quickly the whole subgenre went direct to video and remains there to this day. Even now when you go to your local video store you're likely to see titles like Santa's Slay and The Gingerdead Man on the wall along with Nanny Mcphee and Fun With Dick and Jane. These films may have the horror film structure, but basically they're comedies made for horror film fans. Ice Cream Man came out in the mid 90s and didn't seem to find much of a cult audience though it's got cult film written all over it. I'm not sure why it didn't make a bigger splash. I mean, there is an audience for this stuff, they didn't make five sequels to Leprechaun because no one was watching. Ice Cream Man is a real gem. It has the immortal Clint Howard as a psychotic ice cream man driving a truck full of corpses, body parts and bugs. He's obsessed with the idea of an ice cream man bringing happiness to children, yet he wants to kill the children. Of course it's the kids who stumble onto his real intentions, and naturally the adults don't believe them. An interesting cast is assembled for this film. Alot of actors that will be recongnized by horror fans. Their roles are actually quite throwaway(like David Warner's), and usually below the talent of the actor playing it, but it's still cool to see them in it anyway. Clint Howard is the real star of the film however. His mannerisms, his gravelly voice and his cornball lines are enough to have you rolling. I mean, no one would ever buy ice cream from a guy who acted this way. If a closeup of a cop chewing an eyeball(that's been cleverly inserted into his cone) doesn't have you giggling, then you may as well shut the damn movie off, but lemme tell ya, this is some funny stuff and should have been a bigger hit. The picture quality on this dvd is for crap, but since no one will be in a rush to put out an Ice Cream Man Special Edition, this is what we'll have to deal with.

Just Plain Bad.......2005-03-20

Not to be confused with The Ice Cream Man(with Ron Howard's brother Clint). This is a totally different movie filled with bad acting,bad directing,poor script,and no budget(the film looks like it was made for 50 dollars). The main plot for this is a weird ice cream man that drives around the neighborhood and kills 3 people and then a little boy realizes the ice cream man is his father. The acting is horrible that it makes those actors in the 1985 slasher flick "The Mutilator" look like Oscar Award Winners. The directing is awful with weird camera angles and the script makes no sense with some scenes that seem misplaced. There's hardly any special effects and only one bloody scene and the ending is by far the WORST ending in any horror movie with a mother leaving her 4 year-old son in front of a liquor store and she dosen't come back leaving her son there and the kid calls mommy and then the credits show up. Please don't rent or buy this trash and rent or buy the 1995 movie Ice Cream Man. The only funny part was when Roland falls down and smears his pop tart all over his mouth and the other thing that made no sense was why did the ice cream man sell ice cream at 7:00 in the morning and drove by the neighborhood at 2:00 in the morning.

Crap........2004-06-05

This movie has a hilarious scene where Rolland trips and falls and smears pop tart all over his face.

The cast is made up of a bunch of out of work porn actors, the director and writer, and some random people taken off the street. Also, many parts in the movie will not make any sense at all unless you read the back of the box. Not that anything here makes sense anyway.

The best character is Rolland's father, who is the stereotypical bad father. You will grow to love him.

I scream, you scream....from boredom.......2003-04-23

This movie is really horrible....and some people are confusing this movie with 'Ice Cream Man' which came out in 1995 starring Clint Howard. These are not the same movies, so be warned. The 1995 version of that movie is on VHS but not out on DVD yet, but I am waiting.....this movie is a no budget cheapie that's really hard to sit through and boring beyond belief. And the characters....so very annoying....I made the mistake of buying this thinking it was the movie with Clint Howard and learned the hard way it wasn't.

ABOUT THE FIRST PERSON.......2002-12-24
