Here's a really, really, really bad movie, 80's, that's also frequently hilarious on a first watch. It's like, Meatballs slapstick or on acid. Patently done on a cheap budget, due to a few poor edited shots, Oddballs is a twisted 84 summer comedy, that's odd yes/ It's a tame, sex t and a flick, atrociously acted, but like I said, cheaply hilarious. If you read another review here, about how bad this movie is, think of that review, have it lodged repeatedly in the back of your mind, you will see just how right he or she is. Oddballs is trashy, and harkens you back to how 80's comedies, and other movies were. I wish I saw frickin' I saw this 35 years or so back. Foster Brooks, the best actor in this, the only good actor in this, a sort of Robert Prosky bearded looking guy, is an old embittered drunk, but really a softy, who's story about why he hates kids, just provides, an answer, equally ludicrous as many other things, attributes, whatever in the film, just reminding you, just how stupid and ludicrous, it is. Brooks, who's professionally born to truly act drunk, runs a Summer holiday camp for kids. This land barron, wants to bulldoze Brook's Summer Camp, on the other side of the lake, to make way for a big car park. He uses his brainless, hunky looking son, to seduce Brook's hot blondish granddaughter, who's come down to help Grandpa out. The plan ultimately involves hunky guy, marrying the lass, which somehow would ensue, the barron would acquire full ownershop of the camp land.. Sons off to a pretty good start, when you consider, he's doesn't know the 'seduce' definition. Stupid, ridiculous moments or dialogue, will keep reminding you, just how bad this is. The young actors are even terrible.I don't know what agency they came from, and I'm scared to know. Take Oddballs for what it is, a really bad movie, which it's only purpose is, for continual chortles on a really bad B movie night, and Brook's hot daughter.
