VHS Movie Reviews of For Better Or Worse (1996) [VHS]

Movie Review: A Motion Picture Travesty!
Summary: 1 Stars

The worst offender in this movie would have to be Jason Alexander. Not only is he the main character but he directed this flop as well. It is painfully obvious that in nine years of "Seinfeld" he probably never once contributed any material to the show. He evidently doesn't have a clue as to what is actually funny.

Alexander plays a perpetual loser named Michael Makeshift. One day, his scummy brother Reggie (James Woods) shows up on Michael's doorstep with his new bride Valerie (Lolita Davidovich). She's unconscious. Reggie asks his brother to look after her for a couple of days and then leaves. It turns out that Reggie has to meet up with a couple of goons, played by Jay Mohr and Joe Mantegna, in order to develop plans to rob a credit union. Great lengths are taken to try and squeeze humor out of the fact that they are robbing a credit union instead of a bank. Why this would be even remotely funny to begin with is absolutely beyond me.

This all culminates in one of the most horrendous bank robbery scenes ever put on film. The soundtrack to this movie only makes things worse...if that's possible. It was so unbearable that I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.

Even if you are a die hard Jason Alexander fan, you will be much better off watching a thousand episodes of "Seinfeld" instead of watching this movie even once.

Movie Review: this movie rules!
Summary: 5 Stars
