Nonureva Really Surprised!
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Scarecrow-88 A group of people, whose vehicles are held because of traffic violations, must pass the test of hardened, tight-wad Deputy Halik(James Keach)and his very butch lover Virginia(Lisa Hart Carroll). What weighs against them, other than their own ineptitude, is that crooked Judge Henderson(Sally Kellerman playing the usual sexpot slut)is in cahoots with Halik on failing them despite their chances of passing so that they can sell their cars and share the profit. Henderson also offers her bed to Halik. Will they be able to outwit Henderson and Halik? John Murray(who is indeed imitating his brother..but doing it very well because he's quite funny)plays Dana Cannon, the one responsible for costing Halik a big promotion. Halik and Virginia attacked a car believing it was Dana's but was indeed their chief's! So being busted down to traffic teaching really has Halik gunning for Dana. The cast has some recognizable faces such as a young frizzy-haired, bubble-headed Jennifer Tilly as Amy, Dana's love interest and an employee of NASA! Brian Backer, with his bulging eyes, plays Scott, a puppeteer in love with a 15-year old punk rocker(who pretends to be older and passes off as an ordinary clean-cut girl until the bad side comes out). Wendie Jo Sperber has a hilarious role as hypochondriac Joan who doesn't understand that Fred Willard's "Doc" Williams is an auto mechanic(she thinks he's a doctor, he thinks she's wanting her car worked on..the dialogue of the scene and when she comes to visit for a "check up" are priceless).But, the real laughs come from Nedra Volz as Loretta Houk. She's blind as a bat and this provides some gut-busting moments of true silliness such as the scene where she mistakingly goes into the men's room and wonders why her back is all wet(..or how she wound up in the class to begin with;she actually drove her car onto an airstrip!!).
gotfong I typically reject pointless comedies as a waste of time, but this film falls into a handful of titles which, no matter how often one views them, are still funny each time. I'd say that it's most likely due to the genuine comedic abilities of the actors as their characters, as obviously a movie like this is not appreciated for its plot. The characters are unique, have a quirky chemistry that makes them inherently likable, and the dialogue is just fun. (Think "Tommy Boy" or "Cannonball Run" or "Johnny Dangerously.") The main character, Dana Cannon, is played by Bill Murray's brother, John, who is absolutely lovable in his cute sarcastic splendor. YOU WILL LAUGH. WATCH THIS FILM...(admittedly, it's funniest with a group of immature male friends or teenagers). (I mean that in a good way.)
EDBAYES one of the funniest of funny ladies..... she will be truly missed by all................ I know she is smiling and laughing as I type. Traffic Violations (which I always called Night School) has her in one of her best roles. The girl who sat on the car lift to get oiled. You have to see the movie to understand what I just said. I did admire this fine actress and wonder why her death report failed to make television news or even a mention on the radio. If you get the opportunity and need a good clean funny movie to watch with the kids...this is the one to look for. Just get yourself a box of towels to wipe away the tears of laughter........Poooooor Wendi, and she had to run all those miles between oil changes.......even QuickieChange could not have written lines that funny.
whammy666 This is much better than Police Academy...I find it a LOT funnier. Now my sister wathed this over and over and over again, got me sick of it however it IS a very FUNNY film. The characters are completely unforgettable. Dana Cannon, a wise, smart cool guy. Loretta an annoying blind old lady. Other characters include: a hypochondriac, a puppeteer, a crazy girl, a rocket scientist and much more. THese characters combined make one funny film. And lets not forget this awesome police force I wish I had. The jokes are still funny today, it is something anyone with a fairly good sense of humor can laugh at. DOn't expect a stong storyline, or message or anything like that...basic mindless fun. Get some popcorn and enjoy!
