Mr. Accident

It's almost a shame that Yahoo Serious only made three films. Unfortunately there's only so much of a market for his style of slapstick comedy. I have a feeling that if he weren't the one writing/directing and producing all his pictures there would have been more than just the three. His third film Mr. Accident was released about seven years after Reckless Kelly and more than a decade after his biggest hit Young Einstein.This time around Yahoo plays Roger Crumpkin, he comes from a long line of parts people. At an early age he gives up on imagination (surprising based on his wardrobe) and dedicates his life to parts or more specifically taking things apart. Somehow he lands himself a job as a maintenance guy at a local egg factory, though it is surprising he keeps the gig based on his propensity for destroying things. This fact means nothing seeing as his job is basically a plot device to keep the story going and actually means nothing. As typical in Serious' movies it's just there for opportunities for prat falls and sight gags.The story, in a nutshell, is that the brother of the head of the egg factory takes over and has a clandestine plan to make eggs addictive by feeding tobacco to the chickens. While this is all going on Roger is trying to start a relationship with a woman who has a propensity for fixing things (see they're perfect for each other), but he doesn't know that she's the ex of his now boss. So basically up to Roger to take down the big bad boss and save himself, his flatmate, his new girl and the world from the evil plan. Will he succeed? A betting man would say no, but seeing as this is basically a romantic comedy you already know he wins.None of that is even all that important anyway, as with the other Serious films you're on board for the physical humor and the sight gags and trust me, there's plenty. There's big butt humor, addiction humor, things falling apart, Roger setting about rube goldbergian like series of events that usually end in someone covered in some thick liquid or with his apartment filled with feathers and filling with water. There are more than enough crotch shots and of course the awkward attempts of Crumpkin to pick up chicks at a bar.Mr. Accident may be Serious' most sincere picture, but I just can't get past the man's hair. I get that it's a reoccurring theme of the man's work, but in Mr. Accident it's way out of control and it distracts from the jokes and fails to enhance them, like in Young Einstein. Regardless though, Mr. Accident is a fun flick and I think if you're afraid to commit to 90 minutes of Yahoo Serious alone, invite some friends over and make a night of it. It's a great flick to make fun of.7 out of 10If you liked this or would like to see the full review with funny pictures and captions and all that other "professional" looking stuff feel free to visits my blog where this review is posted[...]

I remember watching this movie in my earlier days and found it to be quite humorous. Yahoo Serious is a very underrated actor.

You have to know when you're going into a Yahoo Serious comedy that you're going to get some really goofy stuff. Even the more subtle social satire that he loves to weave into his movies can go unoticed by some people, or get lost in the silly antics of the physical comedy. But, I still find his stuff entertaining and his somewhat "stupid" plots that stretch the imagination are actually refreshing over much of the predictable Hollywood stuff these days. Who would have thought of an evil CEO putting tobacco in chicken feed in order to get people addicted to eggs?!? Well, Yahoo did, and it's fun to see how he plays it out in his own quirky way. Love it, hate it, just don't take it too seriously and you might have a lot of fun...

Well, to start with for dvd the picture looks good. If played in a 4K player will equal cable quality. Be sure to check this disk will play through and not freeze up. I can't tell you how much you will laugh, there's just so many hilarious scene's with enormous detail to comedy and character's. Everyone will enjoy this story. Extremely hard to find this movie.

I prefer Daum's 64bit video player. But the european subtitles would not go away. I watched it anyways because it was the only way I was ever going to see this movie. In fact I was so pissed that I launched the english subtitles, so they were being neatly projected overlapping the jagged French ones.After watching the entire movie, I "accidentally" caused Windows Media player to launch. No Foreign subtitles making the movie look so much better.

I find Yahoo's sense of humor refreshingly different. The manner in which they are filmed is uniquely likable. Like all his movies, something an adult can watch with the kids of all ages without getting uncomfortable. Even any love type scenes do not get dirty.

this movie is rather stupid, but I couldn't help but love it. A happy ending is always a big plus.

this movie was really cute. young einstein was better, but there arent enough yahoo serious movies to go around discarding any. so yeah, this movie was great. a completely original story (unlike the very loose historical adaptations he made) it was a sweet romance, the characters were incredibly sweet and the comedy was more slapstick than i expected, but still pretty hysterical

Good quality and excellent value

...Junior.Irgendwann vor sehr langer Zeit hatte ich diesen Film einmal im TV gesehen.Da es leider nur drei Filme von Yahoo Serious gibt, und es Zufall war, dass diese DVD angeboten wurde, schlug ich zu.Bedrückend, es ist nicht vergleichbar mit Einstein Junior. Das ist und bleibt mit Abstand YS`s bester Film.Mr. Accident ist zwar sehenswert, aber relativ flach. Wirkliche Brüller bleiben aus. Ohne Yahoo Serious wäre es ein Film für die Tonne.Behalte ihn nur, da ich von diesem Schauspieler alle drei Filme haben möchte.Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch "Robin Hood Junior"...

Thanx

this has to be rated as one of the worst movies of all time its not funny yahoo seriouses just doesnt cut it in this film compared to young einstein avoid

Great buy
