It's an homage to the Three Stooges shorts in which they're hired by rich people and wind up destroying the mansion.Two surprises, it's unexpectedly funny. I found myself laughing out loud at the outright silliness of it, and second, it's family friendly, at least the TV version I saw.At this point in his career, Ralph Bellamy had been a movie star for 50 years, and it's easy to see why, he was hilarious, and he was game to look silly. Not a lot of 80 year old movie stars are willing to do that.Good for a rental.

(Some Spoilers) Laugh a minute comedy with the amazing "Fat Boys"-Markie Buffy & Cool-all together weighing almost a half a ton doing their thing, rap-music & Three Stooges-like comedy routines, and at the same time stopping the sleazy Winslow Lowry form having his Uncle Albert Dennison done in.Winslow has been losing heavily at both the race tracks and casinos and is into local West Palm Beach gangster Luis Montana for a cool 600 G's. Told to come up with the cash and fast if he doesn't want to end up at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea Winslow's only chance to pay Montana off is to get his rich but very ill Uncle Albert to see his maker as soon as possible if not sooner.With the orderlies looking after Uncle Albert doing an excellent job in keeping him alive and kicking Winslow fires them and hirers in their place Brooklyn nursing home orderlies Markie Buffy and Cool. Winslow knows that they, in how incompetent they are on the job, will eventually do in Uncle Albert and make it possible for him to inherit his millions. Money that Winslow desperately needs, if he wan't to continue living, to pay off mobster Luis Montana.Going from the slums of East New York Brooklyn to the wealthy social register town of West Palm Beach had the Fat Boys for once do their job in actually getting the almost comatose Uncle Albert on his feet and out of his bed and wheel chair. This all was done by the Fat Boys' unorthodox way of doing things which was to lose all of Uncle Albert's medication, by using the pills as chips to play cards with, and have the old guy just let his hair down and go boogie woogie at the local roller disco.Winslow now determined to take out Uncle Albert himself since, to his bitter surprise, the bumbling orderlies the three Fat Boys who were to unknowingly do him in actually not only got Uncle Albert out of his sickbed but now have him playing polo and skin diving at the age of 82 no less! It's then when Winslow & Montana plan to blow up Uncle Albert's estate, with him in it, with it looking like a robbery/murder and trying to pin it on the totally innocent Fat Boys! The very people who have not only cured Uncle Albert but protected him from his nephew who's out to put him away for good.Putting the leather to the gas peddle the Fat Boys are at their best here in "The Disorderlies" not only in their slap stick comedy but rap songs, there are ten of them in the movie, that includes hits like "Baby your a Rich Man" and "Disorerly Conduct". As you would expect in seeing how the Fat Boys stymied Winslow & Co. all throughout the movie this last desperate attempt by Winslow to do in Uncle Albert eventually falls flat on its face. ***SPOILER*** Winslow not only ends up behind bars but with a severe case of hemorrhoids, due to a gunshot wound, in him foolishly trying to make himself a victim, in throwing off the police, and hero at the same time. P.S The Fat Boys, originally known as the Dsco 3, career came to a sudden end by the time the rap-music 1980's scene ended. Breaking up and going their separate ways the Fat Boys, in trying to get back together, planned a reunion album in 1995 but that was tragically abandoned when Buffy, Darren Robisnson, suddenly passed away. Weighing an enormous 450 pounds Buffy's obesity eventually did him in the end. Buffy was doing what he loved rapping with his friends, at his home in Queens New York, when he went into cardiac arrest and died of a massive heart attack at the young age of 28.

(warning: possible spoilers below) One of the best ideas for a comedy film ever! You see, the nephew of a rich old man is waiting impatiently for his uncle (played by Ralph Bellamy) to die, and somehow he blames the orderlies taking care of 'ol Ralph for his longevity. So what does he do? He hires ... dis-orderlies! Played by the Fat Boys! It's a reminder that, while the 80s were fun, it's pretty good to be in the twenty- first century.

Okay, so it isn't the Godfather, but if you like comedies, this is definitely a movie that you should enjoy. The bumbling Fat Boys have long since vanished from the limelight (were they ever really in it?), but this was probably their crowning glory.Just sit down with something fattening and let yourself be amused. You might be surprised if you don't expect oscar-caliber acting or a great storyline, just something to keep you laughing.
