Cabbies

A film about making a * film that does not include any actual *. Novel though perhaps disappointing to anyone expecting it to include something more substantial than the usual ogling of cleavage. A taxi driver who works in and around Hollywood fancies himself as a director. A chance meeting with a real director sees the script of a * film fall into his hands, and he has the crazy idea of turning it into the real thing. As he has no money worthy of the name he has to dupe others into funding it, including his mother-in-law and his boss. And as his experience is limited to directing the odd amateur play, he decides wisely or not so to bring in someone who knows what to do, an acquaintance who has directed many * films. Clearly "Those Mad Mad Movie Makers" was never meant to be a * film. Sadly, it gives the impression it was never meant to be a comedy either.

Ridiculous, silly, flick about 2 working men looking to make it rich by raising enough capital to payroll a porno flick. There is actually no nudity in this film, which would not have helped in any case. Attempts at acting 'hep' were completely juvenile. So much so that I couldn't help feeling embarrassed for the actors. A must see for those who enjoyed "Plan 9 from Outer Space".
