National Lampoon's: Robodoc

National Lampoon's Robodoc... Hmm Let's start by saying this string of names... Parker Lewis, Bud Bundy, Sgt. Larvelle Jones, Bug Pollone, Dr. Jason Seaver. Add to that blatant imitations of characters such as Data and Ben Jabituya. Then of course you can't forget about the characters like hot nurse Fonda, Fonda Johnsons, with a bell jingle when she adjusts her boobs and Dr. Sosume (Yes it's pronounced So-sue-me). To top it off, in the first few minutes of the movie I believe I also heard "Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard."

Any of this sound funny or familiar to you? If you answer yes to most of these, they you maaaaay like watching this flick on a Friday night when you're bored and sittin on your couch scratchin your ass and seeing how many boogers you can flick into the garbage. Although this was my Tuesday because I filled my Friday night drooling on myself in a bored, near comatose, state then watching a couple of the "Teenape" movies. Yeah I rock. I sat and watched two movies in a row where the main character is played by a guy wearing a cheesy gorilla mask and gorilla gloves. I was gonna write something on those movies, but all I have to say about them is that if you can get through the first 10-15 minutes, you'll laugh a couple times throughout the rest of the flicks. If you can't stomach the first couple minutes, then you'll want to gouge parts of your brain out with a bums toenail by the end. Okay... Wait... What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, sorry I trailed off on talking about Data the android doctor, Uh, I mean Robodoc... kinda like how my mind trailed off while watching the movie.

I wouldn't say it was bad in the sense that it was poorly done. I would say it was bad in the stupid-Airplane/Naked-Gun-sense-of-humor kinda way. Don't get me wrong, I loooove those types of movies and it gave me a couple quick chuckles but ultimately this one only came close to being almost worth watching. Somehow it felt hollow. It wasn't for lack of trying, though. Part of me wonders if the problem was in the fact that half these actors were popular at one point. Maybe now they are depressed that they have to work on a crappy National Lampoon straight to video flick. I think if it wasn't for all of them being in this film, I would have to hate it.

Basically, I've seen better and I've seen way worse. Watch it mostly for a bit of nostalgia for funny TV actors of yore.
