Mixed reviews, mixed opinion

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2002)

Yes, this movie is vulgar and disgusting (and has nudity that is COMPLETELY unnecessary and has NOTHING to do with anything!). But I really did laugh at many of the jokes. Believe it or not, Chevy Chase is funny in this movie (how old is this, anyway?) and the absolutely w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l Bill Murray is a gophericide (??) obsessed groundskeeper who is in a permanent state of drug-induced stupor, and very funny while he's at it! Rodney Dangerfied is his usual obnoxious self, and I've never seen a movie with him in which I liked his acting. And the girl, the appropriately named Lacey Underall, was stuck in the movie last-minute to capture the drooling male contigent, and it shows how extraneous her part is from the rest of the movie. Oh, and the star Danny Noonan? Forgot about him every time he wasn't actually onscreen. Why WAS he there anyway?
So, this is an okay comedy with some good gags, and I can see how many people would love it (so don't kill me!) but it's certainly not my cup of tea. Involving burrowing rodents...why not watch a movie with a groundhog instead of a gopher? Groundhog Day...now THAT's a comedy.
2.5 out of 5
