Frank McKlusky, C.I.

It is hard to write 10 lines of crap without saying the same thing twice. But i will do my best. I bet the only group of people who actually like this movie has some serious problems. I have been hoping for a while that Hollywood would stop make utter crappy movies, but this is the prove that that hasn't happen. Why? What are they thinking? Hmmm i wonder if the world is ready for one piece of SH*T movie? Yeah i think they are ready for that. Lets get some people, not actors, but people and throw them together with a script that sucks and see what we get. I will tell you what you get, you get Frank McKlusky C.I. If you are over the age of 14, don't see this movie. You will not like it. And if you do, read the second sentence of this comment. I rate this movie 2/10

I'm surprised so many reviews trash this film so much, because honestly despite it's obvious flaws and unoriginality (this film rips on Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura like no other). Honestly though, I think if you liked either of those films, you can enjoy many parts of this one. The list of stars making cameos in this film are numerous and sometimes save the scene (eg. Tracy Morgan as a bogus claim con). Sadly many jokes in the film fall flat on their face, and when they do, it's like hitting a brick wall. To compound this so much of the film is a direct ripoff of Ace Ventura, such as the numerous disguises the McKlusky uses. His character is also too similar to Jim Carrey's Dumb and Dumber character, which doesn't help. Overall I think the film is worth watching, but don't be prepared for greatness.

For the LIFE of me, I cannot understand how or why ANYONE ever thought to put good money towards making the kind of crap that turned out to be this movie. Those who made cameo appearances had to be really hard-up for money to put their standards aside to appear in this piece of ... excrement. I was hoping beyond hope there might be some redeeming joke or gag that might salvage my time watching this "thing," but there wasn't. I can't believe I watched the entire movie, but for some morbid reason, I couldn't shut my eyes. I was in shock. It was like watching a train wreck in progress; you know what you're watching is horrific, but you can't blink. It is unfortunate that IMDb does not have NEGATIVE ratings in their voting, for this piece of cinematic dung deserves no less than a -1000. Oh, I shouldn't have described it as dung... that's insulting dung. At least dung can be used as fertilizer. This celluloid creation has no redeeming value whatsoever.

Sure, it's funny in a leave-your-brain-at-the-door sort of way, but so was Ace Ventura and Tommy Boy, and sometimes it's nice to watch those movies. I'm a pop-culture junkie, so any movie that can bring together Gary Owens, R. Lee Ermey, Scott Baio and Hanson is a winner in my book. Granted, this movie isn't gonna win any awards, but the group of friends I rented it with agreed that it was pretty funny. If you can get past handicapped, gay and fart jokes (or if you just find them amusing), rent this movie. One of the reviewers below is right--the scene with the handicapped guys at the Hanson concert is pretty much the funniest scene in the movie.

Frank MCluskey (Dave Sheridan) is an insurance claims investigator who refuses to take any risks. With good reason! His father, an Evel Knievel imitator, was permanently injured during a performance and his mother refuses to let her son live life without a safety net. Instead, Frank's partner must do all the dirty and dangerous work. When the partner dies, however, it's up to Frank to go for broke when the job turns hairy. New partner Sharon (Cameron Richardson) is there to lend her support, also. Will Frank be transformed from a chicken little into a daredevil? This is a film that falls into the category of a true guilty pleasure. Certainly, Sheridan does a knock-off Jim Carrey imitation while the script vacillates between funny and mundane. Yet, the movie still delivers an upbeat charm that is an antidote for those days when the car breaks down or the dinner burns. Randy Quaid, for example, plays the comatose father of Frank...and he's still funny! If you want to forget your troubles, come on, get happy then spend a couple of hours with Frank. He'll plaster a silly grin on your face in no time.

You know I may be some sort of freak for saying this but I thoroughly enjoyed the immense corniness of the film. A likable lead and adorable love interest make for a pretty decent comedy when shown on late night television. It starts off being mildly amusing until it continues onto terrible joke one after the after all lamer the last, yet somehow it is enjoyable all the same. Chyna's role in the film was rather disconcerting and really she should of stuck to acting poorly at wrestling events then ever trying for film. Overall though if you have a taste of corny comedies then give it a chance, you will only have me to blame if you do and I can live with that.

what a horrible film! jim carrey must have backed out on this film... it's obvious this film was made with him in mind as the lead... what's even worse about this film is they casted the lead to resemble jim carrey! how pathetic! did the producers really think they could sell a film with a look-a-like? unf***ingbelievable! randy quaid was the best part of this film... too bad he was catatonic thru most of it. who ever casted this film should be fired! so many great comedic actors are in this film (andy richter, tracy morgan, randy quaid, kevin pollak), yet they casted a no name... they should've casted tracy morgan as the lead. i can't believe i'm still watching this piece of crap.

I don't understand why this movie has gotten so many bad reviews. This movie is hilarious. The plot overall isn't that great, but then again, many comedies do not have great plots. This film was made strictly to be funny, but so was Airplane!, as well as the hit show, the Andy Milonakis Show. What I'm saying is that just because it is indeed stupid doesn't mean it's not funny. This is personally one of my favorite films (as is Airplane!) and I would recommend this film to anyone who likes mildly crude humor. I've watched the movie at least 15 times and I still laugh every time I see it. There is a joke in this movie everywhere you look (The Rosengold's; one of them is black and one is white) and it brings back stars from the 80s such as Scott Bayou from Charles In Charge. There are a couple of parts in the movie that i didn't like, such as him pulling the dog across the sidewalk (which was stupid, and not funny), but it more than makes up for it with the rest of the movie. This movie has a "surpise" funny kind of flow to it. For example, when the announcer said, " This is a man that Evil Kinevil himself once called... a god damned crazy bastard!...Madman Mcklusky!"...I expected him to say something completely different. Overall this is a extremely funny movie and anyone thinking about watching it should go ahead and do it!

the dumbest idea, movie, script, you name it how did this movie get funding?? I would have rather seen "glitter part deux" I have never seen a movie where not a single scene works or one with a cast with less comic timing how did they con all of these stars to be in this pig? when they were filming the gymnastics scene did anyone on the set say "does anyone remember jim carrey doing almost the same thing when he was on in living color?" every actor in this will delete this from his/her resume' if the director gets another film deal it might be the 1st sign of the apocalypse I would like to buy the rights to this movie and make sure it is never seen again
