5.0 out of 5 stars The Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies, Jun 16 2004

This review is from: Shakes the Clown (DVD)
I really loved this movie, but it appeales to a certain sense of humor. Here's the litmus test: This flick begins with a cameo of Florence Henderson (aka Mrs. Brady) as Shakes the clown's washed out one night stand. If you don't find this the least bit funny then, "move along. nothing to see here." If this visual made you smile then watch Shakes the Clown. Its a rare gem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Call it a weakness...., Feb 21 2003
This review is from: Shakes the Clown (DVD)
I know, I know, this movie is probably last on the list of Oscar-worthy films. It had an absolutely terrible plot, stretched out certain scenes far too long to act as "filler" for gaps... That being said, there were enough scenes which had me rolling with laughter to keep me interested until the movie ended...Robin Williams' cameo as head instructor at The Invisible Rope, were all hilarious. The social bickering between the mimes, party clowns, and rodeo clowns, was actually somewhat clever.

By no means what we would call "quality" cinema, but I've always had a weakness for cheap, mindless humor. It's a nice relief from the usual overdramatic, uptight tearjerkers we're bombarded with every time the Oscars loom over the horizon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey! Not just for men! I love this movie!, Feb 4 2003
By 
Quickbeam (Oconomowoc, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shakes the Clown (DVD)
Shakes the Clown is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. My husband and I only saw it once when it came out and we still roar about the social castes in the clown community, with rodeo clowns being the ultimate. I have been hoping against hope that it would come out on DVD. I don't think this is just a man's picture, it is a lowish brow picture for anyone who likes to laugh...or make fun of mimes.
