I was there for the taping of this show. I can't recall what Claire Danes was promoting. I was more excited to see Steven Wright, who I had been a fan of since the mid-80's. Leno came out to meet the crowd prior to the show. That was pretty cool. And he was the Jay of old, swearing, and with that biting humor. He was not the watered-down "nice" version that he became once he took over as host. We had great seats. And I swear I made eye contact with Wright when he was on the couch. I think we locked eyes for about a minute. It was weird - but cool. As I recall, the taping took place at 5:00. And I think we waited in line that day for about two hours. It was worth it. I've got a tape of the show. And I saw us on camera when they panned the audience. A nice experience overall.

So no one has reviewed this thing yet? Travesty!

Gary Coleman stars as Joey Seymour, a little boy whose lone desire is to join the Boy Scouts. He's an orphan (who would love to be adopted by a loving family) who's been shuffled around from one foster home to the next. And although shunned by the other boys at first, he eventually wins them over.

Let's be honest. This is really sappy and cheesy. You can guess how it ends. But you know what? It's also a lot of fun. From Joey's proclamation to his mother hailing from "Pepsi Cola, Florida" to also describing his grandfather as having "the heaves." Awesome stuff!

This film also features a bunch of cameos from child stars of the past. If you look closely you'll see Robert Trujillo as a kid. You may know him today as the bassist for Metallica. Yep, that's really him.

Why aren't any of Gary Coleman's films on DVD? Shouldn't there be a cheap box set with this film, "Jimmy The Kid" and "On The Right Track?" Yes. Yes there should be.

I recently made a DVD-r of this film from my old pre-recorded VHS tape. If you have it, you should to. And watch this film! It's good fun.

Let's be honest. This movie is ridiculous. Everything about it is preposterous. But nonetheless it's a lot of fun.

The plot is fairly simply. A group of bumbling petty thieves decide to try for a bigger score - kidnapping! So they scope out Jimmy Lovejoy, the overly-mature son of a father and wife singing duo. Did I mention that his parents sing country music? What??? In spite of being kidnapped Jimmy grows close to his kidnappers. And they like him too. He eventually ends up helping them, while at the same time trying to steer them down a different career path.

Throw in Pat Morita as the blind chauffeur, Avery Schreiber as a crazy psychiatrist and Ruth Gordon's line about "wet panties" and you have a fairly memorable forgotten film.

Silly as it may be, I found it much more entertaining than it probably should have been. We can chalk that up to a pretty stellar cast. Why none of Gary Coleman's movies are on DVD I'll never know. If this ever comes out, I'll line up to buy it. Until then, I'll stick with the DVD-r I copied from my old pre-recorded VHS tape.

Watch it! You won't be disappointed!

I've had the pre-recorded video tape for this movie for over 20 years. And it's been about that time frame since I last viewed it. But last night I threw in and watched it.

This is a movie that showed up on cable all the time back around 1982 and 1983. I must have seen this movie 100 times. As a kid I loved it! As an adult... well, I realize how insipid it is. But I still loved it nonetheless.

Gary Coleman stars as an orphan living in Chicago's Union Station - the same place where the famous "baby stroller scene" from "The Untouchables" was filmed. And he has a magical knack for picking horses. Once people find out, they exploit him. Will his friend Jill (the lovely Lisa Eilbacher) come to his rescue? What do you think?

This film is quite nostalgic for me. I was amazed at how many lines of dialogue I could still recite after all these years. If you watched it a lot as a kid, you'll probably still like it today. If you didn't, then maybe you won't. Although I do give it credit. There are a few legitimately funny lines in it.

"Sorry Kid. But my sister needs a nose job."

Great stuff!

I just threw this in the other night. I hadn't seen it in maybe 15 years. And as usual, it did not disappoint.

There is somewhat of a plot here. But it doesn't get in the way too much. There's still plenty of focus on the bevy of German beauties who show it all. This one even has a real life transsexual (Ajita Wilson) who was once a man, and became a woman in the 70's. It really is a vague plot that revolves around Sylvia's desire to get her sexual desires fulfilled.

Don't miss Olivia Pascal's classic line "I must make pee pee!"

They simply don't make nude-filled movies like this anymore. And that's a shame!

This film is a blast. Because of such a stellar cast, it's far better than you'd expect nonsense like this to be. Michael J. Fox is charming and likable. And Crispin Glover (in ultimate nerd mode) has several memorable one liners. And to this day I'll never forget the character of Bandini. As he's shuffling along complaining about how his toes hurt. And Fox points out that he has his shoes on the wrong feet. To which Bandini replies, "No I don't. These are my feet." Classic!

Don't miss Anthony Edwards doing his best Eddie Haskell impersonation - to Ken Osmond, the original Eddie Haskell himself.

The cheap DVD is not the best quality. But hey, it should last forever. And it's pretty inexpensive at the moment. Definitely check it out!

I can't believe someone else reviewed this film! What more needs to be said? We've got beautiful women and not much plot. I just bought this not long ago. It'd been about 11 years since I'd seen it last. And it didn't disappoint.

A 10 from me!

Great T&A film! Those of us who grew up with 1980's cable will remember this one as "She's 19 & Ready." I remember Joe Bob Briggs once commenting on it and saying "The woman looks like she's in her 20's. And for that matter, she'd not really ready. They should have called it "She's a 25-year-old tease.""

The highlight has to be the catchy musical number "Czhinghes Khan" - sung by the group of the same name. I don't think I spelled that name right. It's a bouncy tune sung in German, and features a group of hot chicks and mongol-looking men.

Not to be missed!

I just bought this film, and it didn't disappoint. It's exactly as I remembered. Two lovely ladies lose some money between two mattresses. They then have to sleep around to find the missing loot. The portly Zachi Noy costars as a peeping tom. Great film! Lots of nudity! Awesome!
