Johnny Dangerously [DVD] [1984]

I've been looking off and on for this movie for years and finally stumbled across it at Best Buy. I initially saw this one in the theater when it was released as part of a group of middle school Catholic students on an organized trip to the movies during school hours. Obviously our teachers at the time didn't bother to read the reviews or know what to expect out of a PG-13 movie (a new rating at the time), otherwise I'm positive we wouldn't have been allowed to go. Being repressed Catholic students, though, we loved it! For the most part, the comedy still holds up after all of these years. The cast is filled with recognizable stars with some in their prime. I'm also glad that the opening song, "This Is the Life" by Weird Al Yankovich, has been restored to this version instead of the substitute opening that ended up on the VHS version of the movie.

Such a great comedy nobody talks about. The spin on making curse words into a PG era is worth the price of buying the movie all by itself.

Good to see a Michael Keaton comedy from his early days. Very watchable before he got into this all these dramatic roles

Even though it was only available on DVD, at $5 I simply had to snag this movie! Best comparison would be "The 'Airplane' of gangster movies". I was worried when I couldn't find any mention of anamorphic wide-screen on the package, but I was reassured once I popped the disc in that, yes, it will format properly for a 16:9 television. Highly recommend!

I was able to make my wife really happy with this purchase. This is one of her all-time favorite movies.

This movie came out in my youth. While it is silly it has funny parts. Brings back memories.

The only reason I bought this on DVD is because it's not sold on bluray, but the movie itself still holds up after almost 40 years.

Dear Bastages, This is Fun, funny, odd, dumb and silly but too many one liners not to forget about from the '80's decade. A critic bomb but still has a history for '80's fans.
