seamus M The best thing Bobcat Goldthwait ever did! Packed with great cameos. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Josh W One of the greatest cult films ever, and it's sad the rating it has on this website. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Seventh S Honestly, it's one of my favorite movies from my youth. Bobcat Goldthwaite accurately portrayed alcohol dependency and in true comedic genius style, wove it's tragedy into a comedy. Yes, there are memorable 'moments' of humor, but try and explain or describe the storyline of this movie to someone and you will see how funny it really is. I think too many people get lost in the details to understand the big picture is really outstandingly funny. It's truly a gem... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Jeffrey P Starts with some potential, a down on his luck clown ala the ‘Bad Santa' trope, but quickly goes off the rails as an entire collective of drunken abusive clowns are introduced. You can't expect anything going into a movie like this so it's not likely to leave you disappointed, just full of regret. Aside from the tragic and depressing story of an alcoholic clown, what I believe is supposed to be the plot takes almost an hour to set up… in an 86-minute movie. Ironically, it gets worse and becomes less interesting once the plot develops. Still, there are a lot of cameos from comedians that combine to almost keep this afloat, though not all recognizable as everyone is in clown make-up throughout. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review espanolo t Vi esta película cuando tenia 13 anos. Mi cita favorita fue "Tengo ese viejo cono de mantequilla de maní" Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review kevin c Bobcat Goldthwaite stars and directs this flick about the clown community. He plays Shakes, who is great at entertaining the kids at birthday parties but the rest of the time is a stinking drunk. Disappointed that he didn't get the lucrative tv clown job replacing a retiring clown he goes on a bender. When he awakens he is accused of murder and must clear his name. This is mostly sad with a few chuckles mostly from a cameo from Robin Williams. Tom Kenney plays his clown nemesis. Adam Sandler plays one of his clown colleagues.
