DAN AYKROYD is a comedy genius & legend & here he has directed his one & only movie & it's just so much fun!!! It got so much hate & yet it's just pure fun from a comedy genius!!! A crazy old man who Aykroyd plays, we have the other comedy king CHEVY CHASE who is always fun to watch & dan Aykroyds close buddy in real life is great here & we have the BRILLIANT JOHN CANDY who also is fantastic & a comic genius & an all round good cast & good characters. Aykroyd done a great job directing & his movie is a good fun & very inventive Comedy Thriller!!! Never follow critics just like & enjoy what you like, i do.
Now with that being said i do get that this is a bizarre & weird film as it sits between silly comedy & dark horror Thriller & it tried to get that "Beetlejuice" vibe going & in a way it did but obviously won't ever be a Classic like Tim Burtons Masterpiece.
Dan Aykroyd is a childhood hero of mine, i grew up watching him in the Classic "Ghostbusters films" & "Trading Places" & "Spies Like Us" & "Coneheads" & "Celtic Pride" & "My Stepmother Is an Alien" & "Dragnet" & "My Girl" & "The Great Outdoors" & others, it's safe to say Aykroyd is a guy that has always been there making me laugh through my childhood & teens & still today as a family man, i love Aykroyd!!!!
Aykroyd is a Genius as a writer, actor & of creative mind, i think he's the smartest of all the actors & his Classic work proves it.
For a first movie & a big studio production i think Aykroyd's Wacky & weird Horror-Comedy "Nothing But Trouble" is a misunderstood Cult Classic, it's supposed to be strange & freaky & bizarre, it came from the incredibly creative mind of a comic genius & it's alot of fun!!!
Aykroyd puts in a fantastic & manic performance here as the wacky old timer judge of his corrupted land, a monster of this nightmare like fantasy world that is dark but also ridiculously fun.
Chevy Chase is his sarcastic & silly self (Always loved Chase) & is in a good lead role & even Demi Moore is fine here & John Candy r.i.p is always a joy to see him being silly on screen, a great cast in fact.
The look is incredible with amazing cinematography by the best in the business DEAN CUNDY & the sets & production design is incredible, the detail of the set pieces is Amazing to look at, the mansion is beautiful & makes the film come off feeling like a big fun wild roller coaster ride.
Bizarre yes but still fun & very entertaining.
