"John Winger (Bill Murray) verliert seinen Job, sein Auto, seine Wohnung und seine Freundin - alles an einem Tag. Da beschließt er, dass es für ihn nur noch einen Weg gibt: Er überredet seinen Freund Russell (Harold Ramis), gemeinsam mit ihm zur Army zu gehen. Wo sonst können sie so viel zur Erhaltung der Demokratie tun und - was noch viel wichtiger ist - so leicht Mädchen kennenlernen. Nach endlosem Kleinkrieg mit ihrem Ausbildungs-Serg ..."
"An inevitable idea: a working man (Michael Keaton) who can't meet all his professional and family responsibilities has himself cloned. It works so well having one copy of himself to take charge of matters at the office that he makes another copy who takes care of the home front. Pretty soon, different aspects of Keaton's personality are emphasized in the different clones: the laborer becomes a macho creep and the domestic god becomes ra ..."
"Cast Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal together in a film and it should be a sucker's bet as to who's going to be funnier and who's going to give the more nuanced performance. Somehow, though, De Niro walks away with most of the laughs in Analyze This, a buddy action-comedy about a mob boss (De Niro, natch) suffering from panic attacks who makes a nebbishy shrink (Crystal, natch) an offer he can't refuse--actually, it's not really an off ..."
"A groundbreaking screwball caper, 1978's National Lampoon's Animal House was in its own way a rite of passage for Hollywood. Set in 1962 at Faber College, it follows the riotous carryings-on of the Delta Fraternity, into which are initiated freshmen Tom Hulce and Stephen Furst. Among the established house members are Tim Matheson, Peter Riegert and the late John Belushi as Bluto, a belching, lecherous, Jack Daniels guzzling maniac. A de ..."
"A no-brainer that has become a low-brow classic, this 1980 comedy makes anarchy the rule of the day, unleashing the antics of Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Chevy Chase. Caddyshack is about the scheme of a vulgar land developer (Dangerfield) who wants to build condominiums on the site of a ritzy country club. Director Harold Ramis (who later reunited with Murray to make Groundhog Day) is content to let the comedy follo ..."

"Seit ihrem ersten Abenteuer 1984 ist es mit den Geisterjägern abwärts gegangen. Das erzählt uns zumindest diese Fortsetzung, die fünf Jahre später entstanden ist und weitaus weniger witzig daherkommt als ihr Vorgänger. Dazu gehört, dass Dr. Venkman (Bill Murray) es nicht geschafft hat, eine dauerhafte Beziehung zur Liebe seines Lebens (Sigourney Weaver) aufzubauen und dass diese inzwischen aus einer anderen Beziehung ein Kind hat.

"The 4400 stammt aus dem Hause Paramount Network Television und damit genau aus den Studios, die gut 20 Jahre lang diverse Star Trek-Serien produzierten und dieses Franchise sterben ließen, weil sie sich von der SF nichts mehr versprachen. Diese Studios haben ausgerechnet René Echevarrias, einen alten Star Trek-Autoren, Idee der SF-Serie The 4400 gekauft und produzieren diese munter und mit großem Erfolg! The 4400 war eigentlich als eine ..."
"A purely tasteless, moronic, guilty pleasure. Director HaroldRamis employs a mixture of Mad magazine/National Lampoon maturity and Saturday Night Live sarcasm in this goofball golf comedy set on the grounds of a posh country club. Somewhere buried in the slapstick antics, drug references, Marx Brothers-like insults, and gratuitous sex scenes are the intertwined, forgettable subplots of a poor caddie (Michael O'Keefe) trying to earn enou ..."

"Ghostbusters Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control, and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon. Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins--who knew they could ..."
"Groundhog DayBill Murray does warmth in his most consistently effective post-Stripes comedy, a romantic fantasy about a wacky weatherman forced to relive one strange day over and over again, until he gets it right. Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time warp that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. The elaborate loop-the-loop ..."
"Phil Connors (Bill Murray) ist ein richtig unsympathischer Mensch. Als populärer Wettermann eines TV-Senders ist er zwar im ganzen Land beliebt, wer Connors aber hinter der Kamera kennen lernt, trifft einen sich selbst überschätzenden Egomanen. Eines Tages verschlägt es ihn für eine Reportage in ein kleines Provinznest, um dort über den Murmeltiertag zu berichten. Da geschieht gar Wundersames. Phil übernachtet in dem Nest, der Wecker kl ..."
"John Candy and Eugene Levy charge into the world of private security in the outrageous action-comedy ARMED AND DANGEROUS. Unfortunately, they're usually charging in the wrong direction! When Candy, abungling cop, and Levy, an inept lawyer, lose their jobs, they wind up together at the Guard Dog Security Company. After thorough training in the use of firearms (for two hours), they're raring to go. But even as security guards they can't c ..."

"Eine Reine Nervensache kurieren muss in dieser ausgelassenen Mafia-Komödie Billy Crystal (seines Zeichens mehrfacher Moderator der Oscar-Nacht, City Slicker(s) und Harry aus Harry und Sally). Und die Betonung liegt auf "muss", denn als der von seinen Patienten gelangweilte und von seinen erfolgreichen Eltern gestresste Psychiater Ben Sobol wird er vom treuen Bodyguard Jelly (der Mafioso-Darsteller par excellence Joe Viterelli) aus seine ..."
"Before he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is ..."

The playboy shoots perfect golf by pretending he is the ball. And the country-club loudmouth just doubled a $20,000 bet on a 10-foot putt. Insanity? No. Caddyshack. Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight and Bill Murray tee off for a side-splitting round of fairway foolishness that ..."

Jetzt geht's rund: Seine Nummer Zwei entpuppt sich als arbeitswütiger Macho, seine dritte Ausführu ..."
"This is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad tast ..."

"One of the most popular movie comedies of all time is also the film that made food fights an art form and John Belushi a star. This raunchy, screwball comedy directed with madcap zest by John Landis offers a relentless spoof of 1960s college life by following the hilarious adventures of the Delta fraernity. There's nothing this motley collection of students won't do to get the best of Dean Wormer who secretly conspires to revoke Delta's ..."
"Jackie Mason is the best thing going in this otherwise negligible sequel to the already-dubious pleasures of Caddyshack. Between the decadent and often senseless jokes, Mason plays a millionaire whose daughter wants to be part of an upper-crust society he has no use for. Directed by Allan Arkush (Rock 'n' Roll High School), there is some snap to the production; but the concept and script run out of juice early on. --Tom Keogh "
