VHS Movie Reviews of Mixed Nuts [VHS]

Movie Review: Mixed Nuts
Summary: 5 Stars

We watched this movie, and I have had it here for a long time. And never got around to it. But the movie is funny and cute. It has a nice ending and sometimes it is nice just to watch some good old fashioned sweet funny movie.

Movie Review: Best Xmas Movie Ever Made
Summary: 5 Stars

My family watches this film every xmas multiple times, then we act it out. I can't say enough good things about it. Adam Sandler, Steve Martin, Juliette Lewis. Even Jon Stewart makes a cameo. It's perfect.

Movie Review: Nuttier than a re-gifted fruitcake!
Summary: 4 Stars

Nora Ephron's delightful holiday comedy MIXED NUTS has everything you expect in a Christmas movie, and more! There's cheer and blues, carolers and a tree-- of course 'oh tannenbaum' is none other than landlord STANLEY Tannenbaum (Shandling), recently deceased and now disguised with glued-on branches as a celebratory Yuletime pine!

Also here is the requisite re-gifted fruitcake, plus a cast of fruitcakes like no other! There's dog-hating widow Blanche Munchnik (Kahn), impromptu ukulele serenader Louie (Sandler), Mr. Lobel (Klein) and his pack of hounds, exotic baritone-voiced Chris (Schreiber) with her (his?) clingy black fishnet-trimmed evening dress, Santa-costumed Felix (De Paglia) the ex-con and his pregnant girlfriend Gracie (Lewis) --she's a real pistol!-- and of course the distinguished Dr. Kinsky (Reiner).

Heading up this cast of kooks is Philip (Martin), proprietor of Lifesavers, a crisis hotline phone center that'll be homeless once the old year is out. Philip doesn't have the 5K necessary to relocate, so it looks like he, Mrs. Munchnik and stressed-out Catherine (Wilson) will soon be unemployed. Nothing short of a second Christmas miracle can save the day... is there actually one to be had?

While unwrapping all the wacky festivities, do watch for several celebrity cameos. This underappreciated film really deserves a second look-- call it a re-gifting to yourself! Recommended for all.

(4.9) Mixed Nuts (1994) - Steve Martin/Madeline Kahn/Robert Klein/Anthony LaPaglia/Juliette Lewis/Rob Reiner/Adam Sandler/Liev Schreiber/Rita Wilson/Jon Stewart/Joely Fisher/Garry Shandling/Steven Wright/Michael Badalucco/Haley Joel Osment/Mary Gross (voice)

Movie Review: A very tedious boring film
Summary: 1 Stars

One of the Steve Martin's worst films. The character played by Adam Sandler ruins the film with nonsensical singing. A film that won't be missed if it disappears. Also, sadly, Madeline Kahn doesn't look well and for her fans this is a painful film to watch.

Movie Review: OFFBEATLY SILLY
Summary: 5 Stars

JUST LOVE IT!!!

This is our second time buying this movie. The first one was in VHS version and we wore it out!!!

Summary of Mixed Nuts [VHS]

Writer-director Nora Ephron hit a low point with this disappointingly dreary comedy set in a suicide clinic on Christmas Eve. The joke is supposed to be that all of the crisis counselors are themselves a pack of lovable losers, led by a badly toupeed Steve Martin. But it's a short step from lovable loser to annoying dweeb and most of the people in this movie cross that line very quickly. It's too bad, because the cast includes Madeline Kahn, Robert Klein, Rob Reiner, Garry Shandling, and Adam Sandler. Somehow, Ephron manages to restrain this lineup from doing anything funny. --Marshall Fine
