Near you and you can wait in All my years of watching movies in be never seen anything As ghastly As this reworking of the to show that aired from 1961 to 1963. If you thought the trend of recycling old to fare As movies had bottomed out with the Beverly Hillbillies think again. This film is infinitely worse. Why revive such a forgotten and a lamented to show As inane As the Beverly Hillbillies was at least it was a hit. Not so cur 54, where Are you no one under 40 will remember it no one Over 40 will want to. It is of note Only to trivia buffs because two of its stars Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis shot to Fame a few years later in another Quirky series called the munsters. A glaring sign of the disinterest that met this project in Hollywood is the fact that Only bargain bin actors could be found to Star in it. David Johansen and John Mcginley play bumbling new York cops Gunther Woody and Francis Muldoon who Are charged by their Boss capt. Anderson Nipsy Russell an original cast member of the to show with protecting a mob witness Jeremy Piven. Johansen has scored a few supporting roles a he was Richard Dreyfuss a betting buddy in let it ride and the ethereal cabbie who takes Bill Murray into the past in Scrooge a but its easy to see Why he has never played a Lead. With a grating voice that sounds As if he gargle with drano and Glass shards Johansen is just unbearable As Woody. Mcginley is probably Best known for his role As the Brown nosing suck up Corporal to Tom Berengerg a sadistic squad Leader in platoon. Here his acting style consists mostly of making his eyes bulge As if his thyroid is about to implode. Neither Johansen nor Mcginley is equal to the task of carrying a movie even one As wretched As this. Director Robert fist Man and four Hack writers Careen from scene to scene with no sense of continuity. Its just a terribly edited string of bad jokes and worse sight gags such As the scene in which Woody accidentally yanks a Catheter tube out of bedridden officer Leo Schnauzer the Creepy Lewis also reprising his role from the to show. The jokes run along the line of Woody and Muldoon screaming at each other to top it off Johansen actually sings. In his alter ego of Buster Poindexter he scored a Fluke hit a few years Back with hot hot hot to say this is the musical equivalent of nails on a chalkboard is an understatement. None of the supporting actors should be proud of their work either. Rosie of Donnell who plays too Dye a shrewish wife has seen her career ascend on the strength of solid work in such films As a league of their own but she a almost unwatchable Here. Likewise fran Drescher who is getting favourable reviews in a new to series. The Nanny hardly distinguishes herself As Velma velour Muldoon a tramp love interest. If you re wondering Why of Donnell and Drescher a both actresses on the Rise a would stoop to appearing in a film like this the answer is that it was actually made in 1991. That a right it collected dust in a vault at Orion pictures for More than two years. Its no Surprise that the studio is going Down the tubes if its honchos Are pulling such crap off the shelf. I go to see stuff like this just so you wont have to. Even if you be never agreed with a single review in be written please Trust me now a you a have to be a brain dead imbecile to find anything remotely likable about this film. My notepad is riddled with such adjectives As disjointed incomprehensible Slipshod Slapdash insufferable incoherent and desperate. Not Only has car 54, where Are you instantly earned a place on my list of the worst movies of the year its on my list of the worst movies of All time. It gets the big Zero Only because the rating scale does no to extend to negative 12 sunday february 13.1994
