Ahoy Polloi

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2005)

Yes, it's a funny movie. No, it doesn't age well. That's not to say it's unfunny over 20 years later, it's just a very different film with all of the actors either off the radar or making different types of movies entirely.
The movie is basically a hastily thrown together script featuring improvisations from Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray, surrounded by actual professional actors doing their best to hold the scenes together. Cindy Morgan is beautiful, Michale O'Keefe is charismatic, and neither of them were ever (well, almost never) heard from again.
Fun to watch the most popular comedic actors of the 1980's do their thing, but all these years later the bad edits really stand out, the low-budget sticks up, and Harold Ramis shows he's not quite up to the task of directing a real movie. For a fake one, though, this is pretty good. 8/10.
