Review of Wacko

Wacko (1982)
6/10
Some whacked out characters...
17 April 2007
Innocent fun is how I describe "Wacko". The frantic pace involves a lot of misses, but the occasional hits are quite funny. George Kennedy steals the movie with his deadpan humor as an incompetent doctor. "I'm performing a hysterectomy on Mr. Cooper". Taking shots at several stereotyped horror movies, "Wacko" perhaps tries to cover too much ground, with too many characters. All this is quite forgivable when in the context of the spoof that it is. Andrew "Dice" Clay fans will most likely be disappointed in his muted performance. Other "B" movie faces pop up as wacky characters (pun intended). Everyone tries hard, and a rating of 6.0 is probably close to correct. - MERK
