About this product

Product Information

LIFE STINKS is the very funny, at times touching, and pointed commentary on greed, deceit, and human dignity. Director Mel Brooks stars as Goddard Bolt, a billionaire developer who is challenged by business rival Vance Crasswell (Jeffrey Tambor) to live on the streets without money for one month among the homeless both men are trying to further displace by building on the property that is their only home. Goddard is forced to dance for his money, avoid turf wars, develop survival tactics, live in a cardboard box, and more. But along the way, he makes valuable friends among the street people who teach him that life is not about owning material items but about the integrity of the human spirit. One of these is bag lady Molly (Lesley Ann Warren), who, in one of the most inspired moments of the film, dances with Goddard in a dilapidated building to the strains of Cole Porter's "Easy to Love." It is humanistic moments such as this one that makes what could have been a silly movie into a film more reminiscent of Brooks's madcap but poignant films such as YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.

A real sleeper of a movie, a great comedy
This is a great feel-good flick loaded with one situational joke after another. There aren't many worth watching a second time but this one is. It's in the category of Clooney's "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?", which is also one of the best. It's hard to weave a love story into a flick loaded with one sight gag after and poignant scenes of destitute life on the streets of LA, but this one does. Plenty of great lawyer jokes also. I never tire of watching this one.

I expect a comedy to be funny, hence the lower star rating. The ending just Zucked and Mel; always needing a dance scene/musical in his movies - just so much "fluff".

Appears to be one of Mel Brook's great ones.
Product is for a birthday present which hasn't arrived as yet but I'm sure it will be fine as the characters are the best.
