Chairman Of The Board: Review

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
starstarstarstar
A new low in moron comedy. Surfer dude Edison (Carrot Top) dreams of being a successful inventor, but his ideas run to the stupid and useless likes of Slurpee cups with built-in heaters to ward off brain freeze. And best buds Ty and Freemont (Mystro Clark and Jack Plotnick) are pressuring him to get a job before their evil landlady (Estelle Harris) throws all their wet-suited asses out on the street. Salvation comes in the form of wealthy old wave freak Armand McMillan (Jack Warden), whom Edison happens upon trying to fix his car by the roadside. Edison gives the old guy a hand and goes surfing with his stunt double (the crooked gray wig is a dead giveaway). Shortly after, McMillan dies and in his will names Edison chairman of the board of McMillan Industries, much to the shock of venal nephew Bradford McMillan (Larry Drake). Bradford wants to sell the company to rapacious Grace Kosik (Raquel Welch), head of rival Globe Co., and conspires to devalue its stock so he can take advantage of a stipulation in his uncle's will that will put him back in charge and Edison out in the cold. Trouble is, Edison's every harebrained scheme succeeds, from his morale-boosting Luau Wednesday parties to Chef Edison's TV Dinners (there's a TV screen in the box). A little Carrot Top goes a long way, a fact which seems to have been lost on writer-director Alex Zamm and coscripters Al Septian and Turi Meyer: A solid 90 minutes of his mugging, screaming and pratfalling is pretty rough going, made worse by the crude cinematography and amateurish editing. Fans of cyber pinup Cindy Margolis may consider it worth the price of admission to hear her give a lewd talk about tennis, but others should steer way clear. leave a comment --Maitland McDonagh
