Review of UHF

UHF (1989)
5/10
I Expected Better

Warning: Spoilers
I just saw UHF and I must say I expected a whole lot better.There were some really good jokes like the whole Indiana Jones opening spoof, the small t.v bits like Ghandi II and Conan the Librarian, Raul's Animal Kingdom,the karate instructor who loves to say stupid " Stuuuuppppiidddd!", and Michael Richards playing the janitor. But every movie has it's down sides as it's up sides. I thought that Richards performance as the janitor got a little annoying after a while, some of the characters were really unneeded like Philo, some of the jokes fall flat like the mashed potato mountain and the cheek pulling, and I did not like, no...I HATED Weird Al's dream sequence with him singing about the Beverly Hillbillies. I came into this movie to experience a laugh riot but instead I came out a little disappointed. It's not as funny as people say it is, it's just mediocre.
