You are awesome, Doug. Great review as always. I've been thinking. How bout an old vs new narnia. There was an old BBC version I think you could do a good job comparing to the new series. Also... CHRISTMAS!

Yeah, I gotta say I prefer the BBC Dawn Treader.
-
12.15.2010 - 06:36 | REVIEWER RICK
Ya I do guess they have "Aids and Shit" ... like the fact you remembered an obscure N Chick line.
Great review, keep them coming.
-
^_^ I love the NC ^_^
I watched this movie as a kid on CartoonNetwork
I just love it when the NC does movies ive seen before
-
12.15.2010 - 09:43 | Vismutti
Oh yeah, those where the first Narnias I saw! (And preferred...)
-
12.15.2010 - 12:58 | Marshmallowcreampie
I think I saw the first BBC one. It was a little dumb, but then again, I don't remember much.
Anyway... Great review, Critic! I do love your reaction to Christmas every year. XD IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!! Now, this movie... I hadn't even heard of it until this review. Judging by your review, it doesn't look too good. And the dog's eyes... They just bug me SO MUCH. Seriously, it's like a blind Frankie Muniz. D8 (no offense to blind people)
On a side note, I would TOTALLY watch Nostalgia Kitten if it was made. XD It would be even better than "Critic and Trout"!

12.15.2010 - 14:43 | lucariofan508
That would probably be an easy choice. Not that the BBC version wasn't good, but I think the Disney one far exceeded it.
-
12.17.2010 - 12:14 | Jonathan MI agree.
If you want to listen to something grand, get the audio adaptions of the books.
-
Lol I wrote to him about that, and I think I posted that too, glad there are like mined people out there, I think it would be a great old vs. new.
Great Review, animation wasn't bad as far as movement but I agree his eyes look really funny!
-
12.15.2010 - 20:31 | diazepamHoly shit, someone other than me remembers the old BBC version? I watched that shit when I was 7 at my grandparents' house. I barely remembered anything except that Mr. Tumnus looked like a fag and that the Ice Queen kept pushing turkish delight on one of the kids.
-
12.17.2010 - 03:17 | achol980
Actually there was an animated version in 1979 from Peanuts director Bill Melendez that was on CBS. (and later wound up on HBO)
-
i know a crappy christmas specil that you should review grandma got ran over by a raindear pleas review this crap specil great review bye
-
01.07.2011 - 23:34 | damonsteinyeah i remember seeing that in school.

12.14.2010 - 21:51 | drumlip
Oh God, that beginning was hilarious. For a minute, I thought you were walking outside so you could find a place to yell about how bad the movie was. But no! CHRISTMAS!
-
I thought he was gonna yell about how bad the movie is. Well i was more thinking he was about to hide from the movie. but if he did that the camera wouldn't follow. anyways this was a pointless comment but all i was just gonna say that i thought the same thing as well.
-
12.15.2010 - 16:31 | rowdycmoore
Was I the only one who thought he was going heading out to celebrate how he and this network finally won out over WHINE-seau?
-
Yeah, I would totally watch Nostalgia Kitten.
I did notice a striking resemblance between his tie and yours. Heh. In any case, this movie coulda had many different endings, but alas, Rodney musta hated humanity and decided to punish us by keeping the movie going. No respect, Rodney. No respect at all.
-
I'll animate it for him! I volunteer my talents toward a spin off of the Nostalgia Critic! I might even help him do "Critic and Trout" too! But first the Nostalgia Critic must apologize up and down for this review as well as these...
-Twister
-Ferngully
-Mortal Kombat
-Pagemaster
-Rock-a-doodle
-Casper
-Last Action Hero
-Full House
-and ESPECIALLY Space Jam!!!
...and if he doesn't doesn't apologize for all these reviews, I have a long list that I have been thinking about e-mailing to Douchey McKnitpick...
-
12.15.2010 - 15:53 | MarshmallowcreampieI don't see why he should apologize for those reviews, considering most of those movies and shows were genuinely horrible. (Rock-a-Doodle was awful and Ferngully was lame. Pagemaster was boring, and let's just say when I saw the review of Full House I was glad to find someone who felt the same was about it as I did) Even if those movies were good, NC's thing is to accentuate the negative. Apparently in the commentary for his Sonic review, he actually LIKES the first Sonic show because it was so insane, but ya know what? He overplayed hatred for it because people expect it from the NC. XD

Wow. I've been waiting... all month for this. I LOVE this movie and I've been DYING to watch you tear it to pieces :D
And the little run-up to CHRISTMAS killed me XD That was wonderful and I'm very jealous that you have snow D: I hate FL
Yes, those eyes... They kind of fail.
That fall into the river from the dam... That would kill a dog or at least really hurt him.
JEOPARDY JOKE. LOVE.
And, yeah, every single song even made me cringe as a retarded child, lawl.
And sometimes, Rodney's...er...Rover's fatter than other times
Wait... Is he singing about pissing on trees...? Somehow I'd forgotten about that.
The only good thing this movie ever did was get me into Rodney Dangerfield's comedy. I hadn't even heard of him before this and, after watching his stand-up, I was in love.
So yay Rover for introducing me to Rodney. Were it the other way around, I would probably love this movie a lot less
-
12.15.2010 - 09:41 | DarkMessiahI'm in Florida too, and be happy. I used to have to deal with snow every winter since I was a kid until 2008. Scraping ice off your windshield, driving 20mph BELOW the speed limit to prevent an accident, shoveling a path to your car - not fun.
The only thing I miss about snow is that it's pretty. Once you start college... well, beauty is only... er, snow-deep.
-
12.15.2010 - 17:10 | StarShineDCDude. I lived in Alaska before I moved to FL. I LOVED IT. Florida just sucks.
-
12.16.2010 - 03:33 | GruntKilla06Well I haven't had to drive in it much yet, so I get to enjoy the good stuff about it without the bad. Except for shoveling. >_> But since I live in Delaware it's about a 50/50 chance of getting it at all anyway and almost always not during December. :-(

12.14.2010 - 21:56 | AKADave1989
Totally forgot about this movie...thanks for making me re-live these shitty memories.
-
12.14.2010 - 21:56 | IisAwesome
you know i think i actually saw this movie when i was younger.... is rocky suppose to look like Stallone
-
12.14.2010 - 21:57 | bethiegee
Great video!
I've always wondered: where did you get that hat? And why do so many reviewers wear them?
-
12.14.2010 - 21:59 | Johnny Gan and Pongo
Yeah I freak over CHRISTMAS!!! too. Nice house, by the way.

Nothing better than the easily scared mafia members.

12.14.2010 - 22:11 | jabraille
HOORAY!
...god, that was -terrible-. Adding that to my list of "things that my daughter will never see".
-
12.15.2010 - 00:54 | Gethenian
WONDER SPOUSE POWERS, ACTIVATE!
...although actually Rover Dangerfield is not THAT bad. I saw it as a kid. I totally didn't GET it as a kid because I had only the vaguest notion that the main character was supposed to sound like... something I'd heard before... somewhere...
So like, when your movie is made to star a comedian whose usual material is clearly not intended for children... it probably should have something else going for it. You know, so the children watching it who are not familiar with you have some reason to watch it anyway?
This movie does not have any such quality.
It was boring when I was a kid... now it's boring AND almost offensive in its self-indulgent badness.
This is like... "The Room" done Dangerfield style.
-
12.15.2010 - 01:18 | Gregdawg
Awww, you missed Blue Jay Leno and Coconut O'brien! lol
-
12.14.2010 - 22:14 | hugocntGood. Thanks Critic. Could it be possible for you to review Schwarzenegger's Kindergarden cop?
-
We were talking about this upcoming review in Gym class. I never saw Rover Dangerfield when I grew up but he told me that he did. Apparently from him, all I know about the movie is that it has some relatively vulgar humour for a film that seems to be marketed at kids.
-
12.14.2010 - 22:19 | manonthe3upHooray for CHRISTMAS!!
-
I thought this movie was just a horrid memory of my childhood. Just a blob like for say the Tom and Jerry movie. Apparently that wasn't a dream they do exist!!!!! btw please for the love of god's pubic hair review dark crystal or say labyrinth. BOTH OF THOSE MOVIES GAVE ME NIGHTMARES!!! thankx your forever
~phatman~
-
12.15.2010 - 09:33 | DarkMessiahNChick did Labyrinth. She'll probably end up doing Dark Crystal, though that was requested last year, so who knows.
-
12.14.2010 - 22:29 | BigBlackHatMan
Poor Rodney Dangerfield, apparently no one told him that being good at stand up doesn't translate to being good at kid's stories. By the way, did anyone think the initial appearance by Rocky was like Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart thrown together and gotten hung over as hell.
-
12.15.2010 - 13:04 | MarshmallowcreampieNot just kid's movies, but movies in general. He's not the first good stand up comedian to make a crappy transition to film or television.
-
12.14.2010 - 22:34 | FullmetalNinja25
RIP Rodney Dangerfield. :(

12.14.2010 - 22:35 | Dark Pascual
OK, I may sound like a sick asshole, but the only thing I genuinely laughed at when I was a kid with this movie was the dead turkey (rented this movie the first time when I was 9 or 10.
The only reason I even remember this movie was because the dead turkey.
-
04.19.2011 - 20:48 | JRodHacker
Yeah, everyone in my class laughed at the turkey scene. Not cuz we thought death was funny, but more because we knew the dog was screwed. lol
-
12.14.2010 - 22:38 | LiquidSniperwasnt the christmas special of star wars worse?
that should be the one that makes the other ones feel bad about them selves...
-
12.15.2010 - 06:24 | Morgoth Bauglir
isn't that an over-statement right there?
-
12.15.2010 - 08:36 | Drake666
It's just that Star Wars Christmas special is so bad we don't talk about it.
The first rule of Star Wars Christmas Special is that we don't talk about it.
...
-
12.15.2010 - 13:05 | MarshmallowcreampieStar Wars Christmas Special? There is no such thing. T_T
-
12.18.2010 - 23:45 | 0dd1
At least its Rifftrax is funny.
-
12.14.2010 - 22:39 | Meru-Sama
I think I remember seeing this movie as a kid and not liking it. I never heard about it after that though, so I began to think it was just one of those weird childhood memories.
Nope... it's real.. unfortunately...
-
12.14.2010 - 22:40 | ChuckylesHah! The Patriots beat your Bears. Go Pats!

12.15.2010 - 15:43 | Mucca
What a relevant comment oh by the way did you see those Bruins lose against the Flyers last Saturday?
-
12.14.2010 - 22:42 | Virgil_theBadassPoet
And I thought MY jokes were corny!
-
This is the joke he SHOULD have told haha :D
Great review Doug! Haven´t seen this movie, and from what I saw, I haven´t missed much either.
Really LOVED how you put the Monty Python Flying Sheep sketch in there. Feels like that "joke" in the movie was put there just so we could see how the sheep actually would have looked like in the Monty Python sketch! Haha!
(Did I make any sence here at all? Hope so anyway XD =)
-
12.14.2010 - 22:43 | Eddy25I don't see what was so bad about this. I happen to like it, but I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinions.
-
12.14.2010 - 23:37 | Annie-Mae
Now this is a movie I love. Yeah I cannot approve of this bashing. I'll admit that it's not a wonderful movie, with obvious flaws, but for kids this was great. What 5 year old wouldn't laugh at the corn dog joke?
As for the Turkey I'd have to say that most kids might've seen Bambi's mom get shot before they saw the turkey die...Oh and as a child I seriously laughed when he lifts up head up and goes "gobble gobble gobble." on that turkey. I might've seen this at 6 or 7, that still cracks me up.
Heck, Critic, I would even say that you secretly liked this movie. You showed more one-liners then you needed to and kept the songs on longer then necessary. You could've easily bashed the daylights out of it, or run out of the room screaming, but I've seen worse from you on movies that deserved it. Rodney Dangerfield is not a great singer, but he got some good composers for the songs.
As long as they continue to show "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", I will always love Rover. He gets my respect.
-
12.17.2010 - 03:20 | achol980Well there's another film that Doug needs to review. ( Has anyone puked when that song gets played?)
-
Me and my dad used to play that game and we used to joke about wanting to shoot it. Now I wish to shoot Rover! Only good thing to come out of this movie is the pretty showgirl former master.
Everything else? It can go to hell with the Cat (and Bat) credit card.
-
12.14.2010 - 22:46 | angel85
what! no Tommy Wiseu joke!? He was the writer, producer, star, etc, of a movie! You missed the opportunity to take another pot shot at the room!
My corn related one liner was "I'm up to my EARS in corn." But I guess that was too clever a pun.
Also, the boyfriend looked more like a stolen jewelry mover than a drug dealer, that's something Douchey McNitpick will call you on.
-
12.15.2010 - 06:26 | Morgoth BauglirOh, fuck! A rabble-rouser! Kill him!
-
12.15.2010 - 10:09 | RagamuffinBabyDoll
I thought the say thing about the punchline, but I guess the real thing was worse!
-
12.15.2010 - 18:23 | Electrictapir
my corn joke was "Well Shucks" Get i-*GUNSHOT*
-
10.01.2011 - 17:31 | yumekichigai
I was gonna say "I've had it up to my ears with this" too... but I guess even that is too good for this movie.
