@farrellmcnulty909 They were the best movie reviewers ever. I didn't always agree, but that's because I sometimes love horrible movies. I grew up in the 1960s so I saw, and liked, a lot of really bad movies
@@farrellmcnulty909I would highly recommend Margaret and David. They were the Australian Siskel and Ebert. They're retired now but went right into the early 2010's.
Right!?!? I'm more of a gamer and happy to see gaming has reached heights to be considered art by many. Much in the same way as film has always been. But yes - these days it's difficult to stumble upon a truly great movie. Television-like series made popular by modern streaming services are oftentimes better than AAA films.
I like how they broke a film down into specifics; like Ebert noting the humor in the Woody Allen punching the Mime moment being diminished because it was shot from a wide overhead angle.
Scenes From A Mall will give anyone who works retail or in the service industry cold chills because there's nothing more uncomfortable and awkward than trying to serve customers who are making a scene because they're in the middle of a public domestic dispute

Coneheads was fantastic it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen the coneheads of funny you’re not you’re an idiot you need a pipe to smoke and put some hashish in The bowl maybe you’ll see this picture in a different light if not I suggest hanging yourself and your partner you too stuck up nerds would be too good night label for you go into the garage close the gate put some tape on the door start the car and breathe deep lie back and keep breathing deep both of you
I saw Trading Mom. It's pretty dreary. It sounds more like the plot of a horror movie than a comedy: The kids wish their real-life mother out of existence and unless they find a suitable substitute they'll turn into orphans or wards of the state. The plus side is there is a very brief 2-minute scene featuring Sissy Spacek's daughter Schuyler Fisk when she was young.
"Stop or My Mom Will Shoot." Stallone supposedly only did the film because he heard that Aaah-nowld really wanted to do it, so Stallone wanted to beat him off at the pass. And spirits did he regret THAT decision.... 🤣🤣
"You took kids to see this?, after they seen this, you should have taken them to see "The Good Son" to cheer them up" "Wasn't that about a killer?" LMAO
Again, I never saw it. But then again, my taste tends to run to John Ford, Akira Kurosawa, Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah, Francis Ford Coppola, and other action directors.
Hmm.......................try Bananas, Sleeper, Manhattan Murder Mystery and Small Time Crooks. All hilarious in my book! (Understand that he's not for everyone though---he's almost an acquired taste).
There were two others, because Hollywood likes to do things in threes. One was Vice Versa, with Judge Reinhold, which was actually funny. Another was 18 Again, with George Burns and Fred Savage, which I never saw.
@@shrapnel77 I felt the opposite - I thought it was crap when I was younger. I saw a clip of it recently and thought it was very funny, BECAUSE the characters were so stupid. and poor Oliver was going out of his mind every week.
People magazine just interviewed Jane Curtain, and she said when she recently watched early SNL episodes, she was surprised at how little she laughed. She said a lot of the jokes were part of the times, so they didn't feel the same much later.
Both Ghost Dad and Trading Mom contain one of the most common tropes in comedies of the 80s and 90s--the career-obsessed parent who neglects their kid(s). In that era, the Baby Boomers had finally stopped being hedonistic disco-crawlers and settled down to have careers and raise families, resulting in a generation of latch-key kids who would come home from school every day to an empty house. Consequently, Boomers started to become concerned that they weren't spending enough time with their kids, and since everything in America for the past half-century simply MUST revolve around the Boomers, Hollywood movies reflected that concern.
I was a latchkey kid and so was my sister, but my mom was not "career obsessed." She needed to work to support my sister and I. We were trying to just get by when our parents divorced. This was a more common scenario for latchkey kids.
Yeah unfortunately they completely missed this one, but its not their fault. Clifford is a gem that requires a very specific sense of humor - but for those people it's absolutely hysterical. One of my all time favs
@@nicktaylor2657 Probably an ill-fated spoof of Bergman's "Scenes From a Marriage" - Woody, a big Bergman buff, was in this movie, so maybe his casting was a part of it.
You remember that Seinfeld episode in which George wore that horrible toupee until Elaine tore it off and tossed it out the window. Some homeless guy ended up with it.
The correct word, used in all English-speaking countries outside North America, is "bum"; "butt", short for buttocks, is only heard in the USA and Canada.
What's your point? That Anglophones in North America use a shortened form of buttocks to mean bum? That languages change over time and distance? The horror! Here's a tip - butt out with your "correct" word.
Scenes from a Mall... by then a shopping mall had been degraded into a scene only for banality for its mindless consumerism. The only comedic means of dealing with banality is satire.
I'm surprised that their review for "The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them" isn't in this video considering that A. They both despised it, and B. It's a torturous, 87-minute brainless and laughless slog that wouldn't even be good as a direct-to-video movie.
Dudley Moore did a great job acting as a teenager and I did laugh a lot at the movie's jokes. i was stoned off my ass at the time, but still funny none the less.
16:43 The problem is that cats cannot be “trained” the same way that a dog or a monkey can. You can get them to look at a laser pointer dot or you can, as Roger suggested, open some food, but you cannot fine-tune their behaviour. To get such an effect, you would need computer animation.

I really miss these two guys. RIP both Roger & Gene
Me too. Love it when they would dump on crap. Who does that today as well?
The critical drinker is ok@@sha11235
Miss Ebert's movie yearbooks the most- have almost all of them
@farrellmcnulty909 They were the best movie reviewers ever. I didn't always agree, but that's because I sometimes love horrible movies. I grew up in the 1960s so I saw, and liked, a lot of really bad movies
Imagine them watching all the horrible movies now.
I wish they were both still here. I think film critique died with them.
@@farrellmcnulty909yeah. Now it seems like they all go into movies wanting to love or hate them and there is no objectivity
It would be the same as what they did here.

Well......Coneheads isn't as bad as Roger was giving it credit for. But he's right, Wayne's World it definitely is not.
I’ve seen Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. It was fine. Like Father, Like Son wasn’t bad. Coneheads was fine as well. I haven’t seen the rest.
Yep, I haven't seen any of them either. Got that feeling at the third movie. Quit to see if anyone listed them. Thanks for that. Saved me a half hour.

"That's what his butt looks like. That's the joke."
😀😀😀
Now that Cosby was unfortunately released from jail will he be making "Ghost Rapist" or "Roofies, Part 6"?
"Stop or My Mom Will Shoot." Stallone supposedly only did the film because he heard that Aaah-nowld really wanted to do it, so Stallone wanted to beat him off at the pass. And spirits did he regret THAT decision.... 🤣🤣
Yeah..."beat him off at the pass"
Arnold himself was the one who started the rumor, knowing that Sly would sign on to the awful movie.
beat him off...
*there's an image!*
Stallone wanted to beat him off? Uh.......
It's a good movie, lol
"You took kids to see this?, after they seen this, you should have taken them to see "The Good Son" to cheer them up"
"Wasn't that about a killer?" LMAO
11:45 I dunno, two bums transferring minds would actually be pretty hilarious. Nobody has ever done that, could be a killer.
I NEVER found Woody Allen the slightest bit funny. So many people think he's a comedy genius, I have never seen it.
See "Annie Hall." It's a classic.
I have, it wasn't funny in the slightest. I had heard all the reviews, I walked away thinking that watching grass grow was funnier.
It's not even about being funny. He's one of the greatest screenwriters ever.
Again, I never saw it. But then again, my taste tends to run to John Ford, Akira Kurosawa, Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah, Francis Ford Coppola, and other action directors.
Hmm.......................try Bananas, Sleeper, Manhattan Murder Mystery and Small Time Crooks. All hilarious in my book! (Understand that he's not for everyone though---he's almost an acquired taste).
How many of those torturous body changing movies were made in the eighties?
Too many - I saw NONE of them
There were two others, because Hollywood likes to do things in threes. One was Vice Versa, with Judge Reinhold, which was actually funny. Another was 18 Again, with George Burns and Fred Savage, which I never saw.
Four-that one, Vice Versa, 18 Again!, and then Big, which only had one character change and it was the best of them.
I. Hated. Big.
Maybe I would feel different today, but i enjoyed "Coneheads" as a kid.
You would. I use to be a huge fan of Green Acres, when I was in kindergarten. It is one of the stupidest shows I have seen as an adult.
@@shrapnel77 I felt the opposite - I thought it was crap when I was younger. I saw a clip of it recently and thought it was very funny, BECAUSE the characters were so stupid. and poor Oliver was going out of his mind every week.

I did too . I'm surprised they didn't.
Coneheads still holds up. Hilarious tremendous movie. Amazing they made something so good out of a goofy snl skit
Vice Versa was better.

They are called that because of the baby boom, so of course Hollywood and lots of other things cater to them based on them being a huge market.
@@pazza4555 To the exclusion of everyone else.

@@graemesmith6721It's called marketing, snowflake.
Well, at least stereotyping is alive and well.
The way they described that Gene Wilder movie sounded hilarious. I want to check it out 😂
Don't bother, it's stupid. And Mr. Spock directed it!
Clifford is hilarious
94 was so impervious to terrible film even it had it's moments.
Some movies are so stupid they are funny. Joe Dirt was dumb and funny.
Agreed
Yeah unfortunately they completely missed this one, but its not their fault. Clifford is a gem that requires a very specific sense of humor - but for those people it's absolutely hysterical. One of my all time favs
@@chriscalland4098 Bestest looking wig, I believe there's a difference. Lmao.
Roger even came for the cat...lmbo
scene from a mall doesn't seem that bad 😃
One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Believe me---it IS. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. There's so many better ways to spend 90 minutes of your life!
Woody should have rewritten Scenes From A Mall.
Don't think it would of matter A terrible idea
Was too busy having relations with his kids..
@@nicktaylor2657 Probably an ill-fated spoof of Bergman's "Scenes From a Marriage" - Woody, a big Bergman buff, was in this movie, so maybe his casting was a part of it.
If I recall, a guy named Roger Simon wrote it. Look him up, he is insufferable.
That's what Gene asked at the end of the show and on Worst of 91-why didn't he rewrite it?
I’ve always liked Coneheads and I’m not even a big SNL fan (not of that SNL era, anyway).
SNL's BEST era: 1989 - 1999. Phil Hartman & Co. thru Cheri Oteri / Will Farrell & Co.
@@LannieLord Hartman is my favorite SNL cast member.
Woody Allen must have one hell of a rap cause I just don't see it...sorry
Or one hell of a " package "...giggle
Apparently his rap works well with Chinese stepdaughters...." Me so horny, Woody!".
George Constanza with hair!? Lmbo
You remember that Seinfeld episode in which George wore that horrible toupee until Elaine tore it off and tossed it out the window. Some homeless guy ended up with it.
@@farrellmcnulty909 Yes! Lmbo. Seinfeld is my show.

These guys might’ve lived longer if they weren’t forced to contort their bodies so much in those seats
Clifford is very very funny
Hahaha I love the harsh criticism for the acting performance of an animal in a movie
"It stinks"
HE SAID THE THING!!!! JAY SHERMAN!!!!!!
I'm surprised that their review for "The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them" isn't in this video considering that A. They both despised it, and B. It's a torturous, 87-minute brainless and laughless slog that wouldn't even be good as a direct-to-video movie.
Every time I hear one of them say that darn cat I crack up.
She was to be the new Micky...didnt work
Do you have to cut off the endings of their reviews?
I love the movie Clifford ! It is the bestest
Dudley Moore did a great job acting as a teenager and I did laugh a lot at the movie's jokes. i was stoned off my ass at the time, but still funny none the less.
That darn cat: we couldn't get a performance out of him.
I love how vehemently they defended the art of (good) filmmaking
The Ranchero music at the end that begins to over power Gary as he's talking and takes us out into channel identification is hilarious
clifford is one funny family movie
I watched coneheads a few days ago. It's not that bad.
Horrible take on Coneheads, but these were the same guys who gave Dumb and Dumber a bad review.
They did not. Gene liked it and Roger couldn't give it thumbs up.
16:43 The problem is that cats cannot be “trained” the same way that a dog or a monkey can. You can get them to look at a laser pointer dot or you can, as Roger suggested, open some food, but you cannot fine-tune their behaviour. To get such an effect, you would need computer animation.
Notice with Coneheads one SNL person didn't appear-Bill Murray? Guess he was smart to stay away.
The dudley moore movie was awesome.
Like Father Like Son...Freaky Friday. Trading Mom...I Sing The Body Electric.
