Review of Chairman of the Board (1998) by Anthony D — 21 Jul 2013

Carrot Top is an unfunny comedian. Period. He made an unfunny movie, with unfunny jokes and unfunny characters. If you couldn't tell, Chairman of the Board is far from funny.

Carrot Top plays a young inventor named Edison, who, after surfing with an elderly billionaire once, has inherited the fortune and the billionaire's company after he shortly dies. So now, the wacky Edison is now in charge of a big company. There could be lots of possibilities for jokes here, but there aren't. A lot of surfing and luaus to cover scenes up.

The film is not entertaining and not funny. Larry Miller is good in anything he plays, as he liked him in Max Keeble as well (another failing film), but the cast is so unlikable, the characters are unlikable...everything is wrong. The jokes are mainly puns and the ones that aren't don't work in well. This film is obviously showing it's from the late 90s as surf music roars, cheesy underground camerawork is shown in an attempt to look good...that's all I can say. At least Carrot Top isn't like Pauly Shore who made a million bad films, but this one so bad it can sum up to 50 bad films.
