DVD Review: Hey Snapperhead, Buy the Flick.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a firm believer in the fact that there are two kinds of B movies in the world: the ones which take themselves too seriously and the ones which do not. With the latter, both the audience and the moviemakers are in general agreement that the point is to provide entertainment as opposed to creating art or an intense emotional experience. This allows viewers to relax and gleefully ride along. Here, in Ford Fairlaine, we have a honest, unpretentious B movie that comes with a pompadour of oomph.
As far as plot goes, frankly, this one's not too memorable, but Andrew Dice Clay is/was an underrated comedian. He's really got some fine material in this film. More importantly, the Diceman is an important cultural remnant from the days when people jovially made jokes about one another which were broadly termed "ethnic humor" by cultural commentators. Now such jokes are condemned as hate speech and branded with an ism. The offending party, unless they are members of a blessed minority group, are then charged with dehumanization or some other bit of hogwash dreamt up by the out-of-touch and the overpaid. Here Clay presents a dismissive view of women that one cannot find practically anywhere else on earth. He clearly views them as his inferiors, and even though many of his remarks and insults are too severe, one cannot help but look back at those glowing days in which citizens could say them without being labeled haters.
When Dice brokedown on "The Arsenio Hall Show" I happened to be watching, and I felt very sorry for him. It may have been the first time I understood how invidious political correctness was. The gist was that sensitive Arsenio informed Clay that his assistant wouldn't come to work that day because she was so offended by Andrew's presence. I wish that I could have spoken for Dice because I would have informed him that those of us who live everyday lives are offended every time we deal with traffic. Our universities and colleges have to stop pretending that they are preparing students for life when really, they are preparing for students for a sixty year ego massage which will never be given. . If one is horrified by the jokes of a guy like Dice then they're going to be in big trouble when they have to deal with bureaucrats or mentally ill individuals spending their days aboard public transportation. Dice is a litmus test, if you can't handle him, it's back to the crib for you. Although, I should mention that the film is actually funny. Many of Clay's asides are hilarious. His character, in case the hate merchants didn't notice, is tongue in cheek. One of my favorite moments is when he plummets from a building and, as everyone is screaming, he says, "My hair! My hair!" This is a fine farce and if part of you longs for the days of Archie Bunker, you'll dig this one.
