Nothing But Trouble (1991) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - February 10, 1991

Although I had a certain morbid curiosity about this film when it crashed and burned at the box office in the early months of 1991, I did not see it until it was on home video.

Nothing But Trouble is an utterly bizarre and bonkers horror-comedy. Think National Lampoon's House of 1,000 Corpses. Really.

It tries, and fails spectacularly, at being something very weird and very different. Outside of Dan Ackroyd, who wrote and directed, I think only John Candy and Taylor Negron seemed to understand the assignment and role with it. Chevy Chase and Demi Moore both seemed stiff and embarrassed about being in the movie and I don't blame them.

All that being said, I do revisit the Mr. Bonestripper scene every so often.
