Hot Dog... The Movie (1984)
This is a fun but not great, funny but not hilarious comedy from back in the eighties. It's a good example of the raunchy comedy sub genre of comedy that exploded in the 1980's after movies like Animal House (National Lampoon's) were huge box office hits. Sure, it's not a great movie or even a great comedy, but it will make you laugh a couple of times if you're OK with R-rated shenanigans. The acting is actually pretty decent for this type of movie and another reviewer here hit the nail on the head with their "slobs versus snobs" analogy, where we identify with the slobs and want them to beat the snooty rich skiers who think they own the mountain. It's a story you've seen a million times before but it delivers some decent jokes and everything else you would expect from the movie's title and poster (beer, voluptuous ski bunnies, adolescent sex jokes). 60/100.
MXP: Most Xtreme Primate (2003)
This Monkey is EXTREME to the MAX!
This movie has a monkey in it who snowboards! He doesn't just snowboard he snowboards so hard and in your face that the only way to possibly describe this monkey's method of snowboarding is to call it.... "extreme!"
He is extreme to the max! If you saw the first 17 MVP movies about a primate who first is a huge hockey star, then a skateboarding star, then a huge star in about 139 other sports that there's no way the rules would actually allow him to even play, then you'll love this new movie where he is snowboarding to the extreme!
This movie has tons of drama and heart as you will wonder if the monkey will succeed in the end. Sure he did it in all the other movies but will he succeed again in yet another sport? Surely he can't be a champion in every sport he tries can he?
More important than that this movie has all kinds of "monkeying around" if you know what I mean.... monkey jokes is what I mean!
My score is 600 billion stars!
