Eight Crazy Nights contains moderate comic sex and drug references
We are talking about Eight Crazy Nights. In which the following does not happen:
The action takes place in a Massachussets mental asylum. The local authority is threatening to shut the place down because there are so few inmates and they're only a little bit crazy. So the staff decide to swap places with the inmates and to fake complete insanity for the inspectors. They have just 8 days to prove just how barmy they really are, so that their beloved asylum can stay open for business.
Day 1) Everyone swaps clothes. A visitor, played by Fran Drescher, takes a shine to Barney in his tiny new outfit and makes some moderate sex references which - although meant seriously - might just be considered comic because they are delivered in a silly voice.
Day 2) Everyone goes to sleep in one bath and they are discovered the next morning by a repressed inspector (played by Steve Martin).
Day 4) Tuna and Gavin lead the gang in a protest against the war on Mars. There is a reference to smoking marijuana.
Day 6) Barney and Sue-Ellen sing the theme tune to The West Wing for eleven hours straight, and everyone gets the stuffy inspectors to dance on the roof.
Day 8) The authorities find out the truth. They close down the asylum but get the staff positions working for George W. Bush. The CRAZIEST guy of them all!!!
Even if I had seen this movie myself, no words of mine could compare with the delights issued by those on the internet who have stepped forward to critique this film. Here are some genuine reactions I have found. Be warned that they contain very strong idiocy.
Hermionebubble: "This was a great movie! Okay, I admit I'm only 12 and I like any movie that everyone else says is pathetic. I think this was a really funny movie, and even though the songs kind of sucked, they were sort of fun and funny."
Shnorff: "... ifyou are too stuid to see the message then you shouldnt be living" (sic)
Bill_Brasky: "I don't want to be mean or anything, but you (SandlerFan) are a close minded idiot. "
Diazzy: "when is it gonna be release on DVD/VHS???? i haven't seen it but i just can't wait to watch it! "
David, Grade 8: "A lot of the people who saw the movie say that it was a bad but those people who posted reviews are older people who don't understand the hardships that we kids go through and how a movie like that clears our minds and makes us quite happy."
And to think, if the references had been more than moderate, David might never have been allowed to see this life-affirming film.
