Customer Reviews

The dog ate mama.

The dog ate mama. Gordon Hocheiser (George Segal) lives with his aged, really aged, mother (Ruth Gordon). Her senile antics are threatening to ruin his love life, so she must go, really go. His brother Sidney (Ron Leibman) thinks not. But what does his girl Louise (Trish Van Devere) think? And how will they resolve this situation? This film is sort of a dark Walter Mitty. Only it is not executed quite as well. This is definitely not Carl Reiner, the writer for “The Dick Van D-y-k-e Show” (1961). The skit is not well thought out. The dialog, if you can call it dialog, is stilted and disjointed. The film is not a dark comedy in the sense that it cannot think long enough to be dark. It relies solely upon potty-words and potty-humor. Not the British irreverently funny potty-humor, but gross and snide. I am not sure how they bribed George Segal and Ruth Gordon into this film. You can see they gave it their all. It could have been a good vehicle, but it was too r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d.
