This hilariously dark comedy, full of weird monsters and weird neighbors, finds the perfect balance of horror and laughs. Very unique, it holds a special place in our hearts.

Leaning much more towards comedy than horror, this sequel is perhaps too light-hearted, though it does have a certain zany appeal to it. A very good "first horror movie" for the kids.

Not quite all it was cracked up to be, we felt the comedy undermined a lot of the drama, and vice versa. Sean Penn's performance, however, was well worthy of the Oscar nomination he received for it.

Buster Keaton Comedy / Action/Adventure
Plot: In this exclusive collection of cinematic treasures, Kino on Video pays homage to the lesser-known works of the screen's most inventive comedian.
It's great to see Rowan Atkinson back in good form after the painful "Johnny English". His performance in "Keeping Mum" is an exercise in understatement, as is the film itself. A fun watch, but we felt it could have used a bit more bite.

Whether you like this will depend mostly on whether you can appreciate the absurdity of it. Some people will certainly find it disrespectful of the original films (which it is); others will delight in the hilarity of martial arts icons like Simon Yuen saying lines like "You got schooled, fool!"
