the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Housebroken’
Danny DeVito looks grumpy because he has been reduced to appearing in direct-to-DVD crap. No, wait, it’s an irresistible combination of out-of-control antics and raunchy humor! With its irresistible combination of out-of-control antics and raunchy humor, HOUSEBROKEN rocks the house with nonstop laughter! Actually, the sons are more like 30something, but that just makes it all the funnier. It’s hilarious and insightful when grown men are like children who cannot take care of themselves, because it’s the perfect metaphor for the current state of American society. See: Housebroken is deep. Funniest review ever, from DVD Verdict: Housebroken is a brutally dreadful film. I’m ashamed just thinking about its existence. support

This begs the question: Who *is* blackmailing Danny DeVito, and for what? I think speculating on that would be millions of times more entertaining than watching this movie.

I'm looking at this on a laptop screen, so I don't have great resolution, but the two kids on the couch look simian to me. At first I assumed the movie would be about a genetic scientist who was saddled with an experiment gone wrong -- teenagers crossed with monkeys, or something.
Hmm - that might have a more interesting movie than this promises (threatens?) to be.

The last thing I remember liking Danny DeVito in was either L.A. Confidential or The Rainmaker. I must admit that for a while there, he had quite a run there for an actor who was not all that handsome and who had to compete in a business that had less and less room for unconventional-looking character actors.
Unfortunately, the most recent thing I saw him in--apart from video store clips of his latest TV show--was that Deck the Halls movie he made with Matthew Broderick and the most charitable thing I could say about that is that it at least gave me a chance to hear Kristen Chenoweth sing Christmas carols. Of course, it would have been a lot nicer if they hadn't cast Chenoweth as a character who owned a stripper pole because that part was just so wrong...
For that matter, the fact that someone as talented as Chenoweth is having to settle for such crummy roles is just so wrong...
