Will see this again ...

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 1999)

Was a mild fan of AK during Taxi, and never really cared much for the Latka character, but I really enjoyed this movie. If you place yourself in the minds of Andy and Bob, Andy's act is absolutely hysterical. The fact that the audience was NOT in on the joke was completely irrelevant to Andy. Tony Clifton - how BAD is his act but how hysterical it was to Bob and Andy? I focused on the one scene where Danny DeVito went backstage to talk to Andy and Bob after a Tony Clifton show. Bob was still in Clifton's makeup, and he and Andy were facing off each other with the Tony Clifton expression - the jaw, the eyes ... they were laughing uncontrollably and for that moment I felt like I was in on the joke and understood him completely. A very strange man but a genius entertainer who was completely original. Certainly not your "Take my wife please" master of the one-liners. I am now trolling the web looking for Tony Clifton images and information. Cannot get enough of that lounge lizard act. Voooooolllllllaaaaarrrrreeeeeee whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa ...
