| ♥♥♥♥♥ | More Fun than a Car Full of Clowns |
| I saw this movie on VHS years ago and enjoyed it. I finally got the DVD and found that I love it even more now. The acting is definitely sub-par (overall), but the movie is original and genuinely funny throughout. I'm not really sure if Goldthwait was trying for poignant (if he was, he missed, albeit slightly), but there is something darkly funny about a clown society, stratified into social layers (rodeo clowns are the toughest, mimes--who are admittedly non-clowns--are the wimpiest, and party clowns are the regular joes). Others have summarized the plot, so I won't bother, but I will encourage you to give this film a chance. You may hate it, but where else will you see Florence Henderson as a floozy and LaWanda Page comment on the sexual practices of Sydney Lassick? | |
