The Whoopee Boys (1986)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Every couple years this movie comes to mind and I visit the IMDb page for it, just to enjoy the fact that there is a small number of people who remember it and enjoy it for what it is -- a brainless, vulgar comedy that hits the bullseye time and again.I wonder how much film wound up on the cutting room floor, because at 88 minutes the box office version of the film is tight and unrelenting. I suspect there were some scenes filmed that just didn't stack up, so full credit to whoever edited this down. I can guarantee the best bits made it into the final cut. At no point does the movie hit a lull. Also not mentioned often is that the truncated soundtrack is pretty decent for such a low-budget entry.And by best bits, I mean some of the funniest comedy of the 80s. Michael O'Keefe's character gets embroiled in a love story (which fortunately never detracts from the humor of the film) leaving Paul Rodriguez to provide rapid fire comedy, and boy does he deliver. The movie bounces from classic scene to classic scene, with Rodriguez getting most of the great lines, delivered in an arch manner that prevents the viewer from disliking him or thinking him obnoxious. For me, the comparisons to Dumb and Dumber are off the mark, as neither of the two principal characters in this movie are portrayed as idiots. Because of that it's a bit more challenging to wring laughs from them but the script successfully answers that challenge. There's plenty of broad humor, but it's backed up by snappy dialogue.I don't suppose this will ever get its due, but if you've just seen this for the first time, welcome to the club. There are some more of us out here that got it too.

My brother and I in 1987 we sacking out in the living room and this movie came on Showtime. I watched it again in 1994 with a friend. Its got a simple story line, but the characters are OUT OF THIS WORLD FUNNY. Two guys head to Florida, meet a hot woman and need to go to this institute in the everglades to learn manners to save a children's school. I mean how dumb right, the sound track gets you motivated to keep watching. When They arrive at the institute they run into the Butler and the humor blasts off with the name of the butler and Paul Rodriquez's response!!! The first night of "gentlemen school" the funniest scene ever is the dinner scene. I friggin watched this movie about ten times, and every time the dinner scene floors me. Crude stupid simple low brow cracks. This is my favorite comedy of all time. And the weird Lacrosse type game at the end. I really don't understand why more peeps don't go bonkers for this film. funny, funny funny. Another movie like this is "Young Doctors in Love", "80s"

Amazed to see a very low rating, this is a movie you have to watch two or three times to see all the one liners and humour this movie possesses,sure its foul and disgusting in places but you would not be watching if it was not like that, This is a film that will bring tears to your eyes,excellent choice of characters all fitted there parts very well, all I can say if you have not seen this movie and like me you have a very warped sense of humour, buy it and watch it you WILL love it.For making me totally laugh my ass off I have to rate this little gem from the past 10/10,and so will you, buy it watch it you will love it.

One of, if not the, funniest movies I've ever seen. The downside is the humor is rude, uncooth, foul-mouthed, nasty, sexual innuendos, stupid and just plain idiotic!! Guaranteed to make anybody laugh if they can stomach it. 8 pts.
