VHS Movie Reviews of Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad
Movie Review: THE CULT FILM THAT NEVER WAS
Summary: 5 Stars
A zany black comedy about a typical family consisting of a domineering mother (Rosalind Russell), two man-eating piranhas, several Venus flytraps, a baby son - aged twenty-five! (Robert Morse), a lecherous babysitter (Barbara Harris), and a father (Jonathan Winters) who just happens to be a stuffed corpse hanging in the closet!
Based on the hit play by Arthur L. Kopit, Oh Dad is a blending of riotous comedy with dramatic elements that move within close range of tragedy. Black-as-pitch, hysterical and sadly ignored upon its initial release, the film boasts a terrific cast headed by the brilliant Russell, (Auntie Mame), who has seldom been funnier as the acid tongued Madame Rosepettle. Right in step is the incandescent Ms. Harris reprising her stage role as Rosalie the hotel babysitter -- and Madame Rosepettle's arch-nemesis.
The humor strikes unexpectedly in an incongruous world where human confusion is sensitively examined, yet treated with a marvelously irreverent and satirical touch. At turns eccentric, experimental and awful, it's a surprise that this witty attack on momism ever got made, particuarly by a major studio.
Oh Dad, Poor Dad... is the cult film that never was.
