Product: The Wrong Guys (1988)
Rating: 1.0
The absolute worst performance from a large group of stars
I find this film, right? And I'm thinking, "Hey! Look at all the famous people in it!! It's probably going to be really funny!" After enduring this film, I'm left wondering "What in the world was the director/scriptwriter/producer thinking?!?!?". Let me just give you the basic plotline here. Grown men want to play cub scouts (You can see the obvious opportunity for gags and jokes here, folks. Oh goodie!!). The movie contains all your favorite hodge-podge of camp mishaps (ax head flies off, tent peg bends, cot snaps up on someone, etc.) made all the more mind-numbingly stupid by the fact that you know what's going to happen about 5 minutes before they actually do. Combine that with the horrid "acting" abilities (I use the term loosely) of Louie Anderson (main character) and several "I-wish-I-could-do-standup" routines from Richard Lewis. Toss in a bad guy (John Goodman, the only redeeming performance in the movie) who can shoot a flagpole down at 300 yards, but can't hit ANY of seven (count them, seven) fully grown (and in Louie's case, fully overgrown) men floating on a raft not ten feet from him. And what do you have? (...)Save you money for something more worthwhile. Like a pooper scooper.
