VHS Movie Reviews of Under The Rainbow [VHS]

Movie Review: Love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this movie! Like others have said, just shut off your brain and you'll enjoy it. This is probably one of my favorite Chevy Chase movies. I mean, seriously, with little people, Japanese tourists, and European royalty and set in the 1930's, how can you go wrong??? It's flat out fun. I agree....they need to re-release this movie on DVD.

Movie Review: Littlepeople-licious!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Well if you like little people and I tend to stay away from the words "dwarf" or "migit" because to me that's cruel. But, if you love or like little people this movie is for you. Rollo Sweet an aspiring dreamer that wants to go to Hollywood and be famous expect a telegram from the film company. While everyone in the boarding house was listening to the President of The United States giving a speech and by the way this took place around the 1930's so you'll see old timy cars in it, so there was no television invented yet so they had to listen to the President on the radio. When the aerial fell down, Rollo went out to fix it and when he lost his balance or got diverted, he fell to the ground in a dream. And in the dream everyone that was in his reality, is in the dream. You'll see cameos of Mako the late Japenese actor who looks for a German little person played by late actor Billy Barty. Pat McCormick who works in the Hotel Rainbow. Adam Arkin son of Alan Arkin, dwarf actress Zelda Rubinstein who we knew better as Tagina Barron in the POLTERGEIST MOVIES, Patty Maloney who we saw numerous times when Sid, Marty Kroft was around in their days. The late Eve Arden who play Ms. McGee in BOTH Grease movies. The main characters of course are Chevy Chase and Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher. In the whole storyline, Rollo finds a group of little people heading to check into a hotel to start shooting for the movie The Wizard Of Oz and when they check into the Hotel Rainbow, that's when everything goes crazy. The little people destroy the entire lobby, dining area and they even ruin the elevator. Thorp (Chevy Chase) who is a secret service agent protecting the Duke and Duchess from an assassin while a Japenese and German agent are meeting up to trade a map with defenses against the US...Keep track of how many dogs are in this...the Duke and Duchess lose many of them...and they name the dog "Struedel" and each one dies of an accident. At the end, Rollo recovers from his dream, until he sees a real car show up with little people in it heading to Hollywood. Again, if you love or like little people this one is the movie to see.....I just wish Warner Brother's would put it out as a RErelease on DVD cause it is one classic that should NEVER be forgotten.

Movie Review: My favorite comedy
Summary: 5 Stars

Obviously from the other reviews this is a movie that you'll either love or hate, but I know more who loved it and only two who didn't. I also saw this movie on HBO in the 80s when I was about 12 and I watched it every chance that I could. A few years later I bought it on VHS and I'm sad to see that it's not available on DVD.

My friends and I would have a few drinks (while not necessary to enjoy this movie but enhance it) and rewind the best parts while laughing hysterically. How can you not laugh at Strudel fetching the ball over the balcony while the sound of the squeaky ball fades away? Or the drunken midget rolling down the stairs, shaking it off, and realizing "I forgot my beer?" as he stumbles back up the stairs to get it? Even today certain movie lines slip out of my mouth or I do the secret knock. It's a shame that you can't make movies like this nowadays for fear of not being politically correct and offending people.

Movie Review: This is one funny movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Sure, Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher have nice moments in this movie. However, it is everything that swirls around them that makes this so funny. "The pearl is in the river." "And they all look alike." Granted that some of the dialog is not politically correct, but it is not mean.

I saw this movie about five years ago, enjoyed it, and taped it. I saw it again last night with my wife and found myself starting to laugh at the beginning of the most humorous scenes, in anticipation.

It is unfortunate that this movie is not available in DVD format.

Movie Review: The only thing I remember about this movie...
Summary: 5 Stars

...is the scene where Carrie Fisher was wearing just her underwear. What a babe! I give the movie 5 stars just for that scene.
