True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is the most awful film I have ever seen.Here in Denmark, where I'm from it called "Golddiggers", at the cover of the DVD-box you see "Shermanator" from American Pie and some other guy.. And a lot of Hot chicks. In the movie you see 2 Z-list actors read some bad jokes, while trying to score some seriously old females.This movie is worse than bad and the cover is more than just plain misleading. Go walk your dog or make love to your girlfriend instead of wasting time at this.If you are a really really really lousy actor, then see this film and get some confidence.. !! :D

I thought this movie was witty when they weren't gratuitously attempting levity. I laughed my @$$ off sometimes, but yes I can see how this movie would be agonizing for many people, but it was in no way as horrific as many recent lapses in film-making, and a lot of those weren't panned by "critics".The casting left a lot to be desired, but Will Friedle (I wish I could move my eyebrows independently, very effective) clearly stands out from the rest in this movie, as does Chris Owen.I know a lot of "critics" panned this one, "Too juvenile/stupid." "a horrific piece of film-vomit." I admit it's not a buzz-worthy masterpiece, but not all movies are aimed at Oscar glory. Most movies are supposed to be entertaining breaks from reality. Some people like em, some people don't; movie critics seem to have forgotten that, and try to force overly-critical opinions down our throats.

National Lampoon's Gold Diggers is a black comedy about two losers in their twenties, Calvin Menhoffer (Will Friedle) and Leonard Smallwood (Chris Owen), who are out to get the good life without working for it. The two young men try to rob two 70-year-old sisters, Betty Mundt (Renee Taylor) and Doris Mundt (Louise Lasser). The two sisters beat the two young men up, and send them to jail. The ladies drop the charges, and invite the jailbirds to their Beverly Hills mansion. Cal gets an idea that they could marry the women for their money and live the good life. Hopefully, they will only live 6-months and at most one-year. It turns out that Betty and Doris are broke, and they have come up with a plan to marry the boys, kill them, and collect the life insurance money. After several unsuccessful murder attempts on each other, they join forces to rob Betty and Doris's rich uncle. This film is funny, and you will laugh through the entire movie. One of the funniest scenes is what the women are wearing as they walk down the staircase to meet Call and Lenny. (Delfino Entertainment, Run time 1:27, Rated PG-13) (5/10)

I had a chance to see a screening of this movie recently and it's one of the best comedies I've seen this summer. Will Friedle and Chris Owen are well-matched as brothers and funny in every scene together. And when this duo is paired up with Renee Taylor and Louise Lasser, it becomes an absolute howl. Anyone who likes silly humor, would greatly enjoy this movie. Will Friedle has great comedic timing and Renee Taylor can make anything funny. I actually found it funnier than "Van Wilder" because "Gold Diggers" doesn't rely so much on toilet humor to make you laugh. Movies that employ the use of talented, funny actors are good, no matter what the budget. It's what happens when you put the right people together with the right project, with I believe, Gary Preisler has done with this film.
