Goofs:

Miscellaneous: At one point the medicine machine goes off alerting the Fat Boys that it's time for Albert's medication. The time on it reads 8:15. Later that evening when Albert's in bed, the camera pans to a clock that reads just a few minutes after 8:00.

Quotes:

[Kool, Buffy, and Markie sneak back into the house and quietly get Albert in his all terrain wheelchair suddenly the lights come on followed by Chauncey giving two growling barks. Everyone's standing there and Kool, Buffy, and Mark realize they've been caught]
Winslow Lowry: You've ruined my plans for the evening.
[after a second's pause]
Winslow Lowry: Listen, from now on I want Albert at home. Where he belongs. Where he's safe. Where he's loved.
Albert Dennison: Chill out, Winslow. We just went to an all night drug store to get some medicine. And it worked.

Disorderly Conduct

enjoyed in my youth

I remember going to see this movie at the now boarded up Criterion Center in Manhattan when I was around 7 or 8. Me and my friend enjoyed it thoroughly, although I am not sure theres much more to say about that from the mind of an 8 year old. Back then, The Fat Boys were huge with kids- even if they didnt listen to them, like me- I cant say I ever really disliked them. This movie is typical formula, its got that "vibe" edge to it that makes it so appealing- a formula stolen upon in the alter sexes comedy "BAPS" where unsuspecting folks from "the hood" end up under the wing of a multi-millionaire and their estate. This brings the possibility of many possible wily antics- that could have, if done correctly- in this case AT ALL made an overall better, more enjoyable film. Of course, this was pg-13, so although I said I liked it at 8, it has only nostalgic momentum with little to no replay value with me- today. Too bad huh, they (hollywood execs) make it pg-13 so they can appeal to a larger crowd, but in the longrun- it ends up appealing to no crowd. Or possibly the 99 cent rental at the local mom n pop video store. It really is a shame...
