I'm in the mood for a comedy today!
Has anyone ever watched the movie Still Not Quite Human? It is a sequel to Not Quite Human starring Jay Underwood and Alan Thicke. I think it was from the mid to late 80's, but it is hilarious! In the first movie Jonas (Alan Thicke) creates and android he names Chip (Jay Underwood). I think a company was trying to steal the android technology from Jonas not realizing his "son" Chip was the android. In the second movie Chip is on his way and learning feelings. For reasons I can no longer remember there was an android created of Jonas whom Chip refers to as "Bonus" because he's like a bonus dad to him. Hilarity ensues when Chip and Bonus try to rescue Jonas who was adultnapped! (My favorite line: "I came over the wall!") Unfortunately this gem of a movie is still only on VHS. Hopefully it will be released on DVD soon, as it is a classic not to be missed!
Another older movie I watched all the time was Johnny Dangerously starring Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton plays the title character who is a mobster with a conscience. Johnny's brother is the assistant district attorney in the movie and he's determined to put the gangsters in jail (not realizing his own brother is the leader)! Johhny struggles trying to get out of the business and save his brother when the other gangsters decide they need to kill the new young ADA. It's another 80's classic (this one IS available on DVD) that you should rent when you have the need for a laugh!
Last oldie but goodie comedy for the day: Weekend at Bernie's 2 starring Jonathan Silverman. In the first movie Bernie dies and Jonathan's character and his friend (Andrew McCarthy I think) tote Bernie around and pretend he's still alive. In the 2nd one, a man puts a voodoo spell on Bernie so that he will lead him to his buried treasure. Something goes slightly awry and Bernie doesn't just lead them to the treasure, but can only dance in the direction (of the treasure) when he hears music. Favorite line of this movie "You got your bag?" Hehe!
Go rent one of these movies next time you're at a loss for what to watch. Let me know how you enjoyed them, and what some of your favorite 80's comedies are! (Though Bernis may have been an early 90's movie.)
