Everything but Terrible

Posted : 13 years, 4 months ago on 23 November 2010 03:25

I have read mixed reviews on this 100 million dollar grosser and wanted to see one of the most interesting career chances for Mr. Eastwood. Skeptical..sure but this film was hysterical and had everything to make a killer classic.

Critics believed this film would bust badly and many people working with Clint advised him to not dare make such a film...boy were they idiotic. This film was filled with "zingers" and great fight scenes. Characters like Orville (Geoffrey Lewis), as Eastwood's best friend was funny, goofy and a good companion to have around. We can't forget about the other main character other than Clint..Clyde the Orangutan. The "ape" worked well with Eastwood and the pair were priceless and zany together. I was crying from laughter at some scenes with Clyde messing with others around him.

The storyline and script were funny and caught me off guard sometimes hahaha Such as Clint's character jumping on someone from a tree and popping up like a freakin' ape making noises was unusual and hilarious for such a fine actor. The fight scenes aren't as cheesy as one would think, just ridiculously funny and makes you go "what just happened?"..like the "Black Widow" gang Laughed my balls off at their hilarity.



Dislikes The love interest for Philo(Clint Eastwood), Lynn(Sondra Locke). She was annoying and she needed a turkey dinner or she would keel over I mean really haha! She's frequent in Eastwood films and it's like ehh dumb after awhile.


Overall this film is a classic comedy and not a mistake in anyway. I'm quite glad Eastwood decided to change up his image and show his funny side. A Well done film!


Rating: 8.4/10
