Review of A Fistful of Fingers (1995) by Andrew H — 12 May 2011
There's a line you don't cross in parodies that takes the film to the dimension of "so bad it went to good, then went to bad again," and this film crosses that line. The silliness, the ridiculous stupidity and idiocy is near overbearing the entire ride, but the fact of the matter is, this film is DEAD FUNNY.
There a number of hit and miss jokes, but the supreme moronic hilarity in some of the other jokes makes up for it. This film could have been something great, but I think Mr. Wright has learned since this film, that he needs to balance his silliness with intelligence, good action, and pretty visuals which this film was almost completely devoid of.
If it wasn't so gosh darn funny, this film could have been the most childish piece of shit I had ever seen. But luckily, it was, and I had a good time, at least until towards the end, where the jokes lost of its luster, and the stupidity was almost unbearable.
Still, I think it's worth it.
