Corky Romano

Pros: Slapstick, Soundtrack, Chris Kattan
Cons: Script, Vinessa Shaw's stylist

Not that any of you reading this can tell, but I have pushed this review to the front of my publishing queue. What this means is that I have two other reviews that wrote before this, but I am posting this one first. You may be asking yourself why....

Pros: Chris Kattan can be hilarious at times.
Cons: He just needs a better vehicle than this movie offers.

I've said it before on Epinions.com - I'm one who CAN love a really dumb, pointless movie. I gave high marks to movies like Austin Powers in Goldmember, Duece Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Animal. These are all just really...

Pros: Good cast, funny gags.
Cons: A little too ridiculous at times.

Here's a film that is so insanely stupid, you can't help but laugh. I'm of course talking about Chris Kattan's new film, the chirpy and kindhearted Corky Romano.

Reading recent reviews on Corky, a film that is being...

Pros: Maybe Two Funny Scenes
Cons: A whole lot of flat uninspired set pieces. Kattan is never let loose.

“Corky Romano” comes from the long tradition of Saturday Night Live breakouts and “flypaper comedies”. These lightweight films are typically identified by its attempt to throw every potential joke on the screen with the hope that some of them will stick....

Pros: Terrific cast, A lot funnier than I thought it would be
Cons: A little ridiculous at certain spots

I have been very fortunate these past couple of months when it comes to going to the movies. I discovered the wonderful world of mystery shopping, and have an assignment every weekend at the movie theatres in Palmdale and Lancaster. With these...

Pros: Some amusingly silly moments.
Cons: Too few amusingly silly moments.

Posing the question "Who is Corky?" in huge block letters, the promotional campaign for Corky Romano not merely tempts but invites the easy, smarta-s retort of "Who cares?"--or, perhaps more accurately, "Who the f--k cares," for the only...

Pros: Has some funny moments
Cons: Weak story, bad character development, bad pacing.

For many people, family members are ties that run strong, and despite differences that may arise amongst members, people hold a special place for those in their family, and accept their quirks and annoying behaviors, even if for some this acceptance...

Pros: You can leave the theater
Cons: I couldn't, because I wouldn't be able to write this

If there’s one thing going for Corky Romano, it’s that it wasn’t released last year, because it easily would have been the worst movie to come out that year. Fortunately for its sake, there was a little mess called Freddy Got Fingered that...

Pros: not much in the way of pros at all, actually
Cons: Chris Kattan is wasted; just not funny, not even in a slapstick way

OK, I want to preface this by saying I *love* dumb comedies. Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigalo? Brilliant. Happy Gilmore? A film for the ages. Dirty Work? Possibly the most under-rated comedy of all time.

So, you can imagine I...

Pros: a great slapstick type movie with open sexual inuendo
Cons: a little corny

Chris has always played this type of character and he does a great job improvising and adding to the part as always. There could have been better actresses involved in the making of this movie. The ones used looked to be immature and not willing to...

Pros: It's a feel good comedy with a lot of memorable scenes.
Cons: Things get a bit ridiculous to watch.

I was lucky enough to catch an early view of this movie and it was a good thing there weren't many people in the theater. If the room was packed I'm sure I would have heard people laughing out loud and making all types of comments while the movie was...

Pros: 1 memorable scene Sound
Cons: Everything.

I went to Corky Romano opening day in my City. Strangely enough, I found the funniest part of the movie was when my large soda spilled on the floor. When the audience heard the ice and the liquid splatter, everyone started to laugh, hard. Maybe I could...

Pros: Good for the brainless.
Cons: Trailer contains all the funny parts

I went to the movies last night with a few friends to see another movie, which was sold out by the time we got there. So we opted to see Corky Romano. It was a good idea at the time, but proved to be a bad idea soon enough.
Chris Kattan is one of...

Pros: It's got Chris Kattan.
Cons: It's got Chris Kattan ;) You witness Columbo swearing.

Yeah, I know what you are thinking. An entire movie with just Chris Kattan? Some people may have mixed feelings off the bat, before paying $6.75 to see this flick. But I'm glad I did. (Yes, I admit it.) I like Kattan, for some reason no matter how...

Pros: There are many funny scenes
Cons: There are also many boring scenes

Corky Romano – A Hilarious and Stupid Movie

When my friend asked me to see this movie with her, I agreed, but I was not sure I would like it. When we entered the theater, I had doubts still, and I was convinced that this would be a stupid...
