MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

SnoopyStyle Ford Fairlane (Andrew Dice Clay) is known as the Rock n' Roll Detective. He's a hard-smoking, womanizing, Hollywood private eye who is well connected in the music scene. Jazz (Lauren Holly) is his loyal assistant. Everybody pays him in gifts. Lead singer Bobby Black and his band is supposed to be the new sensation. He ODs on stage during a performance. His school friend obnoxious shock-jock Johnny Crunch hires him to find his daughter-sister-daughter Zuzu Petals. Crunch is quickly killed. Investigating cop Lt. Amos (Ed O'Neill) has an old grudge against him. The Kid hires him to find his dad. Colleen Sutton hires him to find her sister Zuzu Petals. Zuzu turns out to be a groupie to Bobby Black. There's a crazed hit-man (Robert Englund) and record executive Julian Grendel (Wayne Newton).It's crass, it's loud, and it's irreverent. I can certainly see many being offended by Andrew Dice Clay's crude character. For me, it's funny. It's basically an alternate world where Andrew Dice Clay's alter-ego exists. He's actually funnier when he's being a little stupid. There're some fun back-and-forth with Zuzu. For people not easily offended, this is good crass irreverent fun.

hall895 How much Andrew Dice Clay is too much? After watching this movie it's clear that 104 minutes is way, way, way too much. An "action comedy" with no actual action or comedy The Adventures of Ford Fairlane is a miserable failure. No surprise that Clay never starred in another movie after this turkey. This is the type of movie which could kill even a good actor's career. And Clay, as is made painfully clear throughout this movie, is not a good actor. He's basically playing himself and he can't even do that right. His act grows very tired very quickly. Can't think of anything legitimately funny to do? Eh, just toss out the f-word again. Hilarious, right? Nope. This is a movie with an awful script. With the terribly uninteresting story of Clay's Rock n' Roll Detective solving a crime we are never given any reason to care about at all the movie was always doomed to fail. But if the story stinks it's the acting which really makes this an absolutely painful movie-watching experience. Clay is awful, but we could have figured that. But he gets absolutely no help from his eclectic supporting cast. How eclectic? Well there's Freddy Krueger, Al Bundy, Elvis Presley's wife, that incredibly annoying guy who used to voice the insurance duck, Tone Loc, Wayne Newton and a koala bear. Everyone in this group has their awful moments but you haven't experienced true hell until you've been subjected to Al Bundy's Booty Time. That's this movie's worst moment. And that's saying something because this is a movie of nothing but potential worst moments.

Mike Drakulich Alright. I know the acting isn't 5 star quality, but really, NOT EVERY FREAKING movie is meant to be Gone With the Wind.Sometimes you have to just have some fun, enjoy a night of laughter, and the enjoy the movie for what it is: Nutty! I'm beyond tired of the PC world we live in today. It's OK to laugh sometimes.I love the dialog in the movie, as well as the one-liners made by Dice. There's plenty of star quality in the movie with Priscilla Pressley, Ed O'Neil, Wayne Newton, Robert Englund, and Lauren Holly, so lets stop acting like the movie was filled with off the street actors. They all knew they were in a fun movie together, and all had fun being in it.So, if you are someone who likes to laugh at silly jokes, one liners, and enjoy crude humor, then this is a movie for you.

jeremy3 I despise political correctness so much that even though I would normally give this movie a 6, it is a 10. What did Dice do that was so offensive? He told the truth, and maybe did it with a little bit of vulgarity. Big deal. Lenny Bruce did it, and people love him for it. But by the early 90s, a bunch of frauds took over this country and started telling people how to think and act. Diceman stood in their way. Ford Fairlane shows the way things really are - a man has to be tough and have a front to face all the ridiculous things in life. Dice did this with honesty. He showed a regular guy, who didn't sellout to phony Hollywood and knew exactly how to make fun of the music industry at the time. Hollywood is trying to put up a girlish sounding kid, an obvious satire of Michael Bolton, and abandoning the true fire that was rock and roll. This movie had a connection to about the only good thing about this arrogant and cold era called the 90s. There was Priscilla Presley, the wife of the man who saved America from the doldrums during the 50s, and the heroine in Naked Gun. There is Ed O'Neill, who played Al Bundy, the most real character on television during the 90s. Let's face it, Married With Children was the one show of the 90s that dared showed regular people who couldn't always afford to stock their refrigerator. This movie is filled with a lot of satire and good humor. The main reason why people hate Andrew Dice Clay is they don't get what he is really about. They think he is just offensive, male chauvinistic, and all this other nonsense. But what they don't understand is that Dice was showing that a man has put on a big act in order to get anything done in life. The people who are politically correct are shallow, and they want everything handed to them in life. They can't deal with pain and with things that aren't always so pretty. So, if you think this movie is offensive, try real life. Go to Kenya, Sudan, or so many other places around the world, and see if this movie is disturbing compared to the reality for most people in the world. You might even start to see the point of a movie like this, and laugh about it.
