Review of Real Men (1987) by Maury M — 24 Jun 2013

This is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. How bad?

I went to see this with a friend back. A couple of weeks later we're at the video store and there's a big poster for it. I point it out and mentioned how terrible it was, and he didn't even remember it. It was that bad.

The sad thing is the basic idea works, and the big reveal did catch me by surprise and made me laugh. But that was it, that was the only real laugh in the movie. The rest consists entirely of dumb jokes that a kid would find un-funny, but the director nevertheless decided to telegraph just to make sure we "got it". Uggg.

Under the eye of a different director this might have worked, but instead its one of the dumbest, unfunny, boring movies I've ever seen.
