Oh...........where do I begin. Just one of the most nasty,raunchy funny as hell movies. Between the Talking,"package" warning you about VD and other diseases you could contract...as if he had some experence with the subject! And lets not forget Koko the clown,...that caught me of guard...jees...a clown reading the most raunchy part of a romance novel, and the sex olempics,... MY GOD! Great movie if you love SNL type skits,NUDE WOMEN,twisted humor and as a bonus you get to see some of your favorite stars (Richard Belzer, Chevy Chase) before they were household names. Highly recomended!*****

If Amazon.com let me, I would have rated this dvd 5 stars, and did. Some actors really do some movies that stink like the people from Wisconsin, but this is one of the very, very, very few movies Chevy Chase acted in that smells like it had been floating in a sewer filled with gold bullion for centuries. CENTURIES, Andrew! The true indication that comedy is uncreative is when they resort to nudity as a crutch, and then use the aforementioned crutch to smash cheddar cheese. WISCONSIN CHEDDAR CHEESE, Andrew! One scene was really obscene. The scene was a children's clown asking every non-kid to leave the room before he read sexually explicit passages from romance novels. OBSCENE, Andrew! If you are thinking of buying this, good for you. Cash your paycheck. Pay your bills and with what is left, flush it directly down the toilet so you can cut out the middle man, who probably goes by the name of Andrew, who just so happens to live in Wisconsin and is as humorless as a frog.

I love these whacky kind of comedys, and when I heard about this one I tried to track it down for about 2 years. Finally after it's release here for under $5 aus. I was highly disapointed by waiting in anticipation for what I was sure was going to be histerical 'cause of what other reviewers wrote about it..

It was a complete bore for about 30 minutes. I didnt think what they where doing was funny at all. The only funny bits where a couple of the sketches Chevy Chase was in and an amusing puppet. But the 4 or 5 laughs I had during this movie didnt save it.

I'd recomend you watch Kentucky Fried Movie instead of this snore fest. Even it's attempt a stoner humour failed. Beleive me, i love these kind of movies, but this is by far one of the biggest piles of $#!% I have ever seen that so many have said is a classic. It doesnt compete with goof satire movies like...
- Kentucky Fried Movie
- Airplane / Flying High 1 & 2
- Naked Gun 1, 2 & 3
- Repossessed
- Silence Of The Hams
- Spaceballs
- HotShots 1 & 2
- Loaded Weopen
- Scary Movie
- History Of The World
- Young Frankinstein
- Anything by Monty Python

check out one of those instead.

but not totally junk, by any means. When GT was released, the humor was kind of funny-crude and a few sketches were a little eye-opening. But that was then. Today, a decent amount remains funny, other things you wonder why you ever found funny, and still others weren't even funny when the film came out (the dealers, for example, which you can FF right through without missing a beat). Boittom line: yes, it's worth watching, but don't expect YOung Frankenstein, y'know? Like any comedy sketch film, it's uneven.

I will defend this movie.

Sure, it's low budget. Undoubtedly, it's crude and vulgar. At times, it's just brilliant satire. Nonetheless, "The Groove Tube" maintains a very consistent level of humor. Often times, it's just downright outrageous, and I cry. And, it's all done without a large Hollywood budget or concerns for political correctness which nows infests American society. Hell, back then political correctness was just being conceived. There's an abortion I would have happily supported.

Thirty years later, the humor is still relevant. The humor is still cutting edge. Nothing is sacred. I can only imagine the outrage, if this film were to be released today. Planned Parenthood would be screaming for litigation.

I will admit two things. The drug dealer sequence is boring; it just doesn't fit in and hurts the flow of the film. Secondly, I have sat in a room of people and was the only one laughing hysterically.

It's a little bit National Lampoon and a little bit Saturday Night Live at it's prime.
