I first saw this film when my teenagers were small, we all loved it and to this day we still quote from it, people think we are mad as no-one has seen it! I have searched everywhere for this film, I thought that good old Sky TV would repeat it again but no and the video we had was recorded over so I was over the moon when I found a copy of the video on EBay, I am awaiting delivery as we speak!Thank God for the internet, now I can surprise my kids and show my little one (she is 7) and introduce her to Bob Maloogalooga etc.I even went so far as to have a pet cat called mooka and a rat called camoula. The funniest and yes daftest film I have ever seen, but I LOVE IT!

First, this is a favorite movie of mine. I do love watching it, but NOT for any cerebral reason whatsoever. My son likes it similarly, but the females in the family dread when it comes on TV. So many of the lines in the movie just seem to be repeated for a week or so afterwards, as my son and I amuse ourselves.While I don't recommend beer for the younger ones, watching the opening credits to this movie with the first beer almost completely in is a great start. The rest of the time (in moderation) is just simply going to be fun. This is NOT "Saving Private Ryan".The sad thing about this movie, is that aside from the writer/star, Allan Katz, all other performances are completely forgettable. This is a movie written by, and for, the star to perform in. Tom Skerrit and Cindy Williams try hard ... but they just don't have the lines. Nor does anyone else for that matter. Everyone is a straight man for Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga. You can easily understand why this was not an Academy Award contender.That said ... there is some really funny stuff here. If you don't take yourself too seriously, you too may be able to simply laugh your butt off watching this. And if you also have a "stupid movie" collaborator like I do with my 16 year old son, why then you can double your fun!

Love this film! I was only 1 when it came out but we have it on video and me and my mum think it is one of the funniest films I have ever seen! nobody else who we have show it to likes it though! my favourite parts are: 'you can have any piece of chicken you like, a leg, wing?' '2 faces!'/ (singing)'Caaathy Malooga, Malooga Caaaaathy' at the top of his tower/when he stuffed his face with chocolate cake and it all gets stuck in his beard/when he is in the Psychiatrists sat on the bed thing and he can't lay backwards because of his hump and he just rolls off onto the floor!/camoola the rat 'mooka camoola'/ :oD i could go on forever! Classic Film!

This film has some funny and touching moments, but it's only sporadically truly inspired. Allan Katz gives a very good performance as the title character, and it's a role that must have been more difficult and demanding that it appears at first. However, as others have said, Corey Parker's sub-Woody Allen puns are self-conscious and annoying. An OK film to watch, but the story just seems to go on and on and on...long after you're ready for it to end. (**)
