Madhouse (1990)
7/10
House of laughs
4 February 2023
Yes, and as we remember Kirstie for films like this, a sort of oddity of a comedy, but a comedy with smart humor, which takes a real crack at invasion of privacy, where near the end, we too affected, feel the hell our two leads have endured. Not one house guest here, you won't wanna kill, as they're truly intolerable. A Club Paradise/Goddfellas moment, near the end, sees poor Laroquette trying to get rid of packages of cocaine, his unwanted nephew has been storing, while cops are surrounding the place. John Diehl such a great reliable character actor, is a scene stealer as Laroquette's brother, which he does grow on us. His crazy wife, I wanted to strangle, a hundred times over, and multiplies the poor duo's hell, skating over the front porch. Madhouse, a more obscure KA flick, has a different kind of comedy, and it's a comedy type I really liked. Zany and cheesy, yeah, but I love good cheese, and a animated movie opening,done to a great Chris Rea song, I'm not complaining. FUN-NY.
