Rubin and Ed

I was given this movie on a video cassette 15 years ago and watched it one time. I do not remember much, except for that it was a buddy movie, and the two main characters were doing each other a favor. Rubin promised to attend Ed's real estate seminar if Ed would help Rubin find a place to bury his cat. But there were four scenes that have stuck with me forever: Two took place in the desert where they were looking for a proper burial site, and it had to do with quenching Rubin's thirst. These scenes will gross you out in ways you could never imagine. The other two scenes were hilarious, and took place towards the end of the movie. One took place at the real estate seminar; the other outside an ATM and involved Ed's first wife (Karen Black). Well worth watching, if you can find it.

I definitely enjoyed the weirdness and quirkiness of the movie... but... jeez, even for a person who enjoys weirdness and quirkiness like me, even for me this movie was pushing my limits. I thought that the non-desert scenes were MUCH better than the desert scenes. Unfortunately, the desert scenes make up the majority of the movie. For people who enjoy odd movies, I'd recommend that they watch this movie, but I'd tell them to hit the pause button and take a few breaks in the middle. It's a very fun and interesting movie, but it gets to be a bit too much for one sitting. Seriously, this is the weirdest movie ever.

imagine a young lad stumbling upon the 99 cent bin in the local video store. a movie that he had never heard of, starring crispin glover, catches his eye. "this looks pretty crappy" he thinks to himself, "but if it stars crispin glover, i suppose i could shell out a buck". the transaction was finalized and the goods were brought home. no one was around to revel in the movie that is rubin and ed, but there was never a need. the movie turned into one of the lad's favorites and he could be heard commenting "dr. scholl's never tasted so good!!!" now even his friends and brothers and brothers of friends can be heard shouting "my cat can eat a whole watermelon" and "why don't you keep your hands off of other people's ?!?" trent harris, i thank you for that young lad, was in fact, emmanuel lewis.

My memories of this movie date to when Crispin appeared on the Letterman show dressed as Rubin. Totally in character, he attempted to kick Dave in the head with his four inch shoes and I believe has never been invited back. This movie truly is more quotable than Caddyshack. "Who's the biggest loser in this room?" Rubin: "Raise your hand, Ed." But my favorite line has got to be when Ed finally drags Rubin to that stupid seminar and claims "Car's back, everything's cool." If you like to laugh, see this movie. It's an all-time cult classic.

As a studier of the human mind, no movie has shown such truth as Rubin and Ed. This film is an eye-opener to the comedic tragedy of human nature, as well as a sign of hope for the seemingly hopeless. Rubin and Ed are classic characters, who surprisingly find help from each other when no one else can help them. This is the movie to see for anyone who wants to laugh, be moved, or be truly enlightened. Definitely weird, absolutely original, positively funny.

This is a must for a Crispin Glover fan. I have no idea why it is difficult to find. It is a gem. Great story and very funny. If you don't think it's funny then you must not get it. You know; one of those. My review did not contain 10 lines of text so I must add more. I really really think you should see this movie. Dahhhhhhhh. It is still not long enough. What a stupid requirement that IMDb has. Why? Okay, I will type more meaningless praddle. are you happy now>? No? Still not enough. They want more and more and more. Okay, this is really great! Thanks for listineing Please show your appreciation at the offering plate. Gem stone
