WELL, SLAP ME SIDEWAYS! A RETRACTION OF SORTS

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2001)

I know I blasted this movie, but it was on TV and I decided to maybe give it another chance. Now, it had been edited and cleaned up for TV, so 90% of the gross-out scenes were eliminated, and you know what? THIS FLICK WAS ACTUALLY A PRETTY AMUSING LITTLE COMEDY!!!! Lots of comic situations and one-liners that the gross parts overshadowed when I saw it in the theater. It's too bad,though, that they had to edit out the shower scene (from the dream sequence)and the romantic "I feel like a schoolboy" monologue. SCENES I LIKED BEST: The Jacuzzi scene where the gents complain about girls The Jalapeno scene with Mentalino in the diner The dream sequence! LOVE that dream sequence,and the music is excellent The styling parlor And the scene where Lloyd (Jimbo!) first sees Mary and says to himself, "Slap me sideways!" (we all know that in the theatrical version, he said something else instead of "slap") All in all,Jimmy the C can be a funny guy when he isn't being gross. And now, I am going around saying "Slap me sideways!" This may not be the original theatrical version of the movie, but once edited and cleaned up for TV, this was the movie as it could have been and proof that dialogue and situations are funnier than whizzing in beer bottles (they deleted that scene)once you pass 3rd grade
