Edison (Carrot Top) is a surfing would-be inventor who makes goofy Rube Goldberg-style gadgets. Here's a taste: a drinking glass with a forehead heater to prevent brain freeze. They're all pretty much like that. The chairman of a large corporation (Jack Warden), who had shown interest in Edison's "ideas," dies and leaves Edison in charge of his company. Another would-be benefactor (Larry Miller), beaten out of his inheritance by Edison, makes it his evil mission to wrest control of the company from the ne'er-do-well with the shock of silly hair. A thin formula on which to hang some amazingly unfunny gags, all done in a broad cartoon-style, but with no flair. Puts the stupid in Stupid Comedy, then takes out all the comedy. Well, okay, not all. The videotaped will takes the form of a game show, presenting things to be inherited as prizes in the manner of <I>Wheel of Fortune</I>, complete with its own Vanna White. The rest is one lame attempt at a joke after another, with some time taken for Carrot Top to do pale imitations of Jim Carrey, possibly unintentionally. Highlights include Cindy Margolis. <I>--Jim Gay</I>
Viewer Reviews
Carrot Top has some inventions (like the TV dinners with real TVs inside) and some jokes (He can't work for Wendy's hamburgers because he looks too much like Wendy) that I found to be quite funny. Being the owner of curly red hair and a surfboard, it is difficult to be objective in my review. When the story uses fresh new ideas, it's funny. But when it simply mimics other people, it could be just a guy with a wig on his head trying too hard for laughs.
