Review of Shakes the Clown (1991) by Ian J — 25 Jun 2007
From its opening scene -- Shakes, passed out on the bathroom floor, gets pissed on by a kid after a one-night romp with Florence Henderson -- this has to be one of the most disgusting and hilarious movies I've ever seen.
I laughed so hard the first time I rented it, I got up early to watch it again before returning it to the video store. LaWanda Page is hilarious, and Tim Kenny slayed me as Shakes' nemesis, Binky the Clown.
I later saw it in a revival theatre. I was one of two people who laughed. Fuck those other humourless, film society assholes.
