Arnold (1973)
4/10
Arnold ought to be redone

Warning: Spoilers
So often we gripe when perfectly fine movies are re-done. Arnold is an example of a flawed movie that NEEDS to be redone. Probably on a streaming channel. Not the big screen.

The story is a nice simple idea but needs much better writing, better jokes. I like its simple easy practical effects, the actors and actresses are okay. I like a movie filmed mostly in one house.

I looked up the credits of its writers and of course nothing to brag about too loudly.

I also am really put off by the bar scenes involving John McGyver ogling the busty barmaid. By itself the dirty old man going after busty lady just isn't funny. Without added goofiness or clever lines, it so bores me. I laugh at well written offensive jokes and stunts but these were infuriatingly idiotic. Or I assume they were, I fast forwarded through much of it.
