I believe that this was a great movie that people can enjoy and lift your spirits. Andy Richter was great and Dolly Parton was beautiful and Dave Sheridan was perfect. It kept me laughing all through the movie and I recommend it to all comedy fans especially Ferrally Bros. fans.

I can see why Jim Carey even wouldn't do this film&it has his name written all over it.cliched humor&just a cheap joke of a film on a whole.ain't much to it.

After his daredevil father "Madman" McKlusky is left comatose & brain-dead after a motorcycle stunt goes horribly wrong; young Frank McKlusky is bought up to be extremely safety conscious by his overprotective mother (Dolly Parton, still looking quite sexy. Ain't botox a godsend?).
Of course all this mollycoddling has turned Frank into a big sook, and fifteen years later the grown-up Frank is still living with his mother, who insists he wear safety gear at ALL times, including a crash helmet. (Ditto Frank's dog). And his now hippie-backslash-vegetable father & his mute, agoraphobic brother Daryl who always wears a space suit. As if that isn't bad enough the entire family is addicted to reruns of old 80s sitcoms like MR. BELVEDERE & CHARLES IN CHARGE.
Frank now works as an insurance claims investigator. A job his mother feels is nice and safe for him: amusing considering whenever she hugs Frank he is nearly suffocated by her jub-jubs (not a bad way to die, really!).
The "plot" or what passes for one begins to unravel when Frank's overweight partner Dooley is found dead. It is a tragic scene: Dooley is discovered with his head dunked in a fish tank wearing nothing but his underwear. The cops declare it a "classic fat guy suicide". Case closed. But Frank remains unconvinced & with the help of his new partner Sharon (Cameron Richardson), a cute but ditzy blonde, Frank goes against the wishes of the police & his boss to find the murderer.
Written by Mark Perez & Sheridan, FRANK MCKLUSKY CI is a silly but reasonably enjoyable comedy, with cameos from Emmanuel "Webster" Lewis, Lou Ferrigno & of course; Scott Baio is soon worked into the plot- and immediately all the movies feeblest jokes begin to revolve around him. The WWE's Chyna also appears. She can body slam me any time.
The movie isn't a classic, and neither is it a flick to put on your list of movies you must see before you die; but it's not bad for killing time. The comic highlight for me is the scene where Frank goes fishing for paraplegics. That alone is worth shelling out $1 to rent the DVD. FRANK MCKLUSKY is mostly recommended to those who are old enough to remember the aforementioned sitcoms. Young kids may not get the humour in this, but generally it's pretty harmless so this is an OK movie for them to watch with guidance from an adult (unless you happen to be one of those conservative wet-blanket types). Check it out if you're stuck at home on a rainy day or if you just need a good excuse to get out of slicing the tops off your Grandma's bunions with a potato peeler.
(* in Collins English dictionary = "Mutually destructive. Deadly).

Let's clear this up from the top: Frank McKlusky is NOT a superior comedy. This stupid (and sometimes offensive) comedy follows the life of over-precautious Frank as he stumbles... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars With Dolly: 5 stars, Without Dolly: -5000 stars
This movie is quite possible the corniest slapstick comedy I have ever seen, but what makes it worthy of 5 stars is the inclusion of the legendary Dolly Parton. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Movie I've EVER seen!
Do not waste your money on this one. It lasted only a week in theaters and then went straight to video! Not even superstar Dolly Parton can save this one. Read more

I cracked up watching this movie. Dolly Parton is very amusing as the crazy mother. The scenes where McKlusky poses as a female gymnast are hysterical. Read more
