Summary: One of the Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen
Review: My wife and I went to see this film at the theater when it was first released. We thought that with a cast that included Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, John Candy, etc, we couldn't miss. Boy, were we wrong! The movie starts out ok but goes downhill fast and never slows down. The acting is the least of it's problems. If it weren't for the cast, this could very well be MST3K material (if MST3K was still in production). It's not just silliness, but juvenile, inane silliness. What a waste of a good cast! Oh, in case you were still wondering, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. It is possibly the worst mass-market movie of the 1990's. I regret that I had to give it one star. Negative stars would be in order for this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i wish he would remake it.
Review: its a great movie, expect for the full screen that every one hates. But i with mister aykrod would redo it, with special edition, and widescreen. Makes it so much better. And as you you waner, go back and think this one over.
Don't get me wrong about the movie, it's funny and great comdey team.

Summary: Texas Chainsaw Massacre Meets National Lampoons=NBT
Review: Great 80's comedy directed by Dan Akroyd. Was more or less a financial flop when it was released, but it is in fact a creative black comedy with some of the best one liners I have ever heard. Give it a chance. I haven't actually seen the Warner Bros. dvd release of this but I have a feeling its probably not so great considering it is full frame and without any extra features. They should do a special edition of this because the sets are so strong.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Warner Bros. = Low Quality DVDs
Review: Once again, Warner Bros. has successfully offended me by putting another one of my favorites on DVD in a low-quality pan & scan disc. They really need to stop blowing off their movies with cruddy DVDs like this. If they have so little respect for these movies they shouldn't have greenlit the projects in the first place. Hear me, Warners? You should be ashamed. I find myself regetting that other studios did not release these movies. If New Line had released it, this film would have gotten proper digital video disc treatment. Or even Paramount for that matter.
But to get to the film at hand. I must say that my four star rating (this is for the actual movie) is a bit biased. This film barely makes three stars, but I am quite fond of it. It never did well and most people have forgotten it. But I have fond memories of it. It's a clever little movie that gives a nod to the black humour of "rural" horror films of the past such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That backwoods American gothic vibe is very prevalent here as a group of wandering yuppies stumble upon a roughneck family controlling a small town in the sticks. But mind you, this is more or less a pretty lighthearted movie. John Candy takes a double role as the town Sheriff and The Judge's daughter. The Judge, played with complete and utter excellence by Dan Akroyd, takes the supreme chair in the crumbling mansion that doubles as the town hall. And Demi Moor and Chevy Chase are just fine as the well-meaning yuppies. The jokes are not sophisticated (laughs are derived from such things as gross food to the dirty living conditions of the old Judge) but they come often enough to keep the wheels rolling. All in all, a well-done little movie that I truly think deserves the label "under-rated". Now, if only I could say the same about Warner.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: don't be fooled
Review: i made two mistakes i listened to my girlfriend who said this was a good movie and i was like wow chevy chase, dan aykroyd, and john candy they are funny this movie must be pretty good. well it doesn't overly suck but its not good don't spend more then 5 dollars on it because anymore then that is a total waste of money

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie and an all star cast!
Review: This is a five star movie all the way! Even to date this is my favorite movie of all-time, and I've seen it hundreds of times! I think the characters are intense and the dark comedy added throughout makes it that much better. For those of you that loved it as well post your review and lets get this movie to the five star rating it deserves! And it was an all-star cast what could be better than John Candy, Ackroyd, and Demi Moore in a creepy old house full of booby traps, enclosing walls, the Bone Stripper and other zany ideas that keep the story in check. Ok, Now I have to go watch "Nothing But Trouble" again! Five stars all the way!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, classic fun
Review: I think it is easy to predict the reaction of people who watch this comedy for the first time - "brutally weird!" That's what I thought, but every time it is on, I just can't help but watch it again, laughing all the way through. The movie's strongest points are flamboyant characters and strong comedy acting. That last one is no surprise, considering that most of the actors involved are career comedians. Of course, that is not enough to make a good movie. There is something else that makes this flick so funny and special. What that is, I honestly don't know. You will probably not see a comedy so funny and weird ever again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sick, disturbed, disgusting, and stupid!
Review: This movie [was bad]! Why? Well, it had no point to it, people die, and the judge is a freaking zombie for crying out loud! Nothing But Trouble is one of the worst Chevy Chase movies that I've ever seen. It is definitely NOT a comedy and NOT for little kids. It should be classified as a horror movie. Viewers beware. This ...is not even worth a rental.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thought it was great!
Review: Chevy Chase and Demi are on their way to Atlantic City and then they get pulled over by a small town cop and the fun begins from there. The cop tells them they have to follow him to the court house and the judge will make a decision on their punishment. They judge decides they have to stay the night and appear in court the next morning but during the night they try to escape and get caught in the fun house. Lets just say this is not a normal house.

Every since I was a kid I thought this movie was so funny. It just cracks me up! John Candy, Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase your basic 80's comedy team together in this film. They all have parts that are just hilarious and then you add Demi Moore. Also in one part of the movie there is appearance by 2PAC. He is in the band the is playing in the courtroom to avoid getting sent to jail.

I will watch this movie whenever it is on cause I can't help but laugh. Watch this and you will know what I mean!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Nothing to Lose, but an 90 minutes of your life
Review: Having seen this on television recently, I was amazed at the awfulness of this movie. The sheer stupidity of the movie was incomprehensible! And yet I continued to watch...I think I was mesmerzied, like watching a car wreck in slow motion. Only problem is this was a hour and a half car wreck. This was the most unfunny movie I've seen in a long time. There's nothing worse than an unfunny comedy. .... I think I actually lost a few IQ points while watching this dreck. I am generally not so critical of movies, and I try to find something good in every one I watch, but this was a stinker from beginning to end.
