When I was growing up, I used to like Rodney Dangerfield when he would appear on shows like "The Ed Sullivan Show"; of course, my grandparents (with whom I lived) hated him. Later, when he showed up on "The Dean Martin Show" fairly often, I still liked him. And there were a few pretty good and funny movies he made (e.g., "Easy Money").
But when we get to "Meet Wally Sparks"...well, I'd say it was a total waste of celluloid, but of course they don't make film on celluloid nowadays. So I'll summarize by saying it is one of the DUMBEST movies I should have never watched,
First, sorry to say, but Rodney was so old when this film was made that he couldn't really walk or move right. Time to retire.
Second, scene after scene is nothing more than a litany of vulgar jokes that are totally low class.
Third, the story, which had some potential, was handled so poorly that it ruined it. It's as if the producer and director said, "Just keep filling up the script with vulgar jokes and scenes. Wde'll make money off the raunch crowd."
Finally, shame on Debi Mazar, Burt Reynolds, David Ogden Stiers, and Cindy Williams for appearing in such a really dumb movie.
I suppose ultra hardcore fans of Dangerfield will like this, but my advice is don't waste your time.
