A charming comedy
Seeing as the vote average was pretty low, and the fact that the clerk in the video store thought it was “just OK”, I didn’t have much expectations when renting this film.But contrary to the above, I enjoyed it a lot. This is a charming movie. It didn’t need to grow on me, I enjoyed it from the beginning. Mel Brooks gives a great performance as the lead character, I think somewhat different from his usual persona in his movies.
There’s not a lot of knockout jokes or something like that, but there are some rather hilarious scenes, and overall this is a very enjoyable and very easy to watch film.
Very recommended.
Nothing unscathed in this super spoof
This film has some great comedy. There are many funny scenes of mishaps and chaos. But the best are the spoofs – in lines and scenes. No element of society seems to escape the jabs of one-liners, witty exchanges or sarcastic innuendos. The obvious are the rich and famous. Even the street people themselves, religion, the city mission, medical care, the law, public service and workers are subjected to jabs. One of the very funniest scenes to me was in the hospital where a doctor orders repeated high doses of a drug for Bolt, failing to notice that he had already seen this patient, with the ensuring result.I agree with those who see a different Mel Brooks in “Life Stinks,” and one whom they like better. There’s no doubt about the man’s comic abilities, but the type of humor he had in his early films wasn’t for everyone. It was too crass, crude and vulgar to the liking of many people – me included. My rule of thumb for a good comedy show is one that I would be able to take my girl friend (earlier years), my wife, my mother, and my sister to. If it’s not fit for them, it’s not very good comedy.
I have seen the other earlier films that Brooks produced and acts in, and they fall short. But this film is a pleasant surprise. “Life Stinks” has a real story line and good plot – qualities others have noted that are missing from most early Brooks films. And, it has a story about redemption, with a happy ending.
At least one reviewer didn’t see the humor in a comedy about homeless people. Yet, time and again, humor and comedy have been the best ways to get substantial attention to serious issues. And, when the humor is clean and tasteful, as in this film, it can be a boon to public recognition and understanding of the plights of people.
The production qualities for this film are very good. Brooks is good in his role, and a very good supporting cast lends a lot to the enjoyment of this film. Lesley Ann Warren’s performance as Molly would be deserving of an Oscar nomination in many years. All in all, this is a very good comedy satire that most movie buffs should enjoy.
