Review of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) by Darin J — 05 Jun 2012
Like a lot of genre comedies, I really wish the creators of "dead men don't wear plaid" took the film a little more seriously. rather than just rely on stupid jokes, why not let the humor come from the situations and the style? the first half hour of carl reiner's film is outstanding.
thouroughly hilarious and entertaining. unfortunately, the film decides to rely too heavily on scenes that include footage from older films to include the likes of humphrey bogart, cary grant, barbara stanwyk, etc.
some of the 'cameos" are great, but the majority of them seem lazy and like they were just trying to fill time.
