Funny Farm

Funny Farm stands out as one of Chevy Chase’s best films.  It’s my personal favorite of his.  I laughed hard enough that I embarrassed myself during the fishing scene.  “You’re not knocking him out, you’re just beating the p*ss out of him.”  Lol.  I’ve found many of Chevy Chase’s films to be somewhat cliche, and some, unfunny.  However, everything (dialogue, acting, cinematography, plot) seem to come together in Funny Farm.  The irony is also heavier in this film, compared to his others.  His wife’s effortless success at writing children stories creates a very entertaining situation, indeed.  The dog's funny, the mailman's funny, and it was funny to see the main character's hopes of small town life be destroyed.  7/10
