The Whoopee Boys

Paul Rodriguez's part is horrible. Not sure if it's the lines he was given or his delivery but suspect it's both. It's pretty much 5-year-old humor, although an actual 5-year-old would be funnier. He absolutely ruins this movie. If you can ignore his parts, which is pretty hard to do, the rest of the movie isn't too bad. Standard light goofy 80s comedy. There are so many other good 80s flicks to choose from that this one is easily passable. I can see why it only made 1/18th of it's budget back at the box office,

What should be a good movie was spoiled by a spurious targeting on dumb behavior of the both boys, the eloquent Jack (Michael O'Keefe) and the lewd Barney (Paul Rodriguez ) who impose off-color humor, the plot is thriving and prone to be successful, bearing in mind the nice casting as the iconic Denholm Elliott, Carole Shelley and the stereotyped nerd Eddie (Eddie Deezen), an old acquaintance on those teenager comedy, in the institute to learn the manners has good jokes as the girl that supposedly killed their parents, also the officer White was there for a bad behavior, however the picture caught in the pure nonsense and tasteless humor offers by Paul Rodriguez, too much crude, nasty and foolish, the storyline is addressed in a point of no return with a shallow proposition, aside the classy Denholm Elliot in a clever and high class character, all others are dumb and scarce!! Resume: First watch: 2020 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6

I can freely admit that crude and tasteless humor can sometimes be very funny...however, this is not one of those times. I might have laughed a few times during this mess, but for the most part, I was simply in awe of the stupidity. And during those times when it wasn't quite as dumb, there was usually nothing going on, and so the movie got boring as well. It's not like I had high expectations for this film, after all, the word "whoopee" is in the title, but it was actually even a little worse than I thought it would be.

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.

Easily the funniest movie I have ever seen. It beats anything you see nowadays. It's a definite rental, go for it.

I first saw this back in the day and I was sore for a week from laughing so damn hard! I bought a used copy from a local video store a few years ago and finally wore it out showing it to all my friends so I finally spent a small fortune and bought a brand new VHS copy online. This movie is base line juvenile slapstick humor at it's very best. Crude at times but I'm a sick humor type of person so this just works for me! I highly recommend this to anyone with an open sense of humor, you will love it! The studio needs to release this on DVD, I can't believe some of the junk I find on DVD and this excellent comedy is just stuffed away in some vault somewhere! Come on and get with it and release this on DVD for the masses to enjoy!

Okay, I see that from the comments that this film was made for the US market and as we both seem to be diverse in opinion when it comes to humour. This gem I first watched as a rental, as I could find nothing more in the shop that interested me. Well for a change it paid off, as I to this day still talk about the funniest film I have ever watched. Yes it's base humour but it's base humour at it finest. I spilt my beer in the scene with the posh woman holding the dog and he asks the dog "is that nasty lady squeezing your genitals"? I have recently returned from Cannes where all the woman carry their dogs and that scene kept flashing back to me. This film is a peach and a rarity, dumber and dumber came nowhere near it in laughs per minute.

Excellent low grade humor in abundance. Hilarious movie with many memorable quotes... I still remember a few after seeing this over 12 years ago... Barnie Caught shaving with a car mirror in the hotel pool Manager:"Are you people guests here?" Barnie:"POTENTIAL Guests? YES!" HAHAHA "Rock Me Amadeus!" not even gonna explain that one... HAHAH!!! "Is that mean old lady squeezing your genitals?" "I wanted to thank you for only giving me the clap. These days it's refreshing to meet a girl with curable diseases." "No! We no see Fluffy! What your dog look like? Your dog have big, juicy hind leg?" Paul Rodriguez Rocks. That is all.
