Product Description

Paul Rodriguez teams up with Caddyshack's Michael O'Keefe in this gut-busting fish out-of-water comedy. Two slow-witted friends try their hardest to blend into the ritzy upper class of Palm Beach in order to get rich, win the girl and save an orphanage (maybe not in that order). Hijinks ensue that would put the Farrelly Brothers to shame. Rude, crude, politically incorrect and proud of all three, The Whoopee Boys go all out for laughs and prove it's not how much you have, it's how much Whoopee you make along the way.

Customer Reviews

Nostalgic , Yet Well Aged Comedy !
This 1986 comedy never misses or loses it's comical beat (not even in 2003) !It is still one of my favorite comedies from the 80's. Whenever I view this tape now in the 21st century,oh boy, does it ever bring back memories of high school and the absurdly and fashionably challenged of the 80's ! So, of course the film will look simply outdated;but, so what ?! The plot's not very deep either. Just a simple tale of two guys going to charm school for a little bit of social climbing and to see who gets the girl (away from a rich goon)...It's the entire cast of dysfunctional and socially challenged misfits taking ettiquette lessons that is simply worth watching over and over ( Marsha Wharfield from Night Court fame as the cop with an attitude/aggressive problem) !

Whoopee Boys reminds me of what made Paul Rodriguez a hysterical and very talented, funny Latino comedian. His pure rawness and raunchiness keeps the viewer's attention!Another comical character of curiosity is the nerd of nerds actor Eddie Deezen who played Eddie Lipschitz as a geek who really made the the hysterics of going to charm school complete with Rodriguez' antics. What ever happened to Deezen? As for the other actors, unfortunately Denholm Elliot(Bavarian Luminati instructor) passed away a few years ago and was better known for his role as the kooky Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones films. Michael O'Keefe would later star as Roseann Bar's brother in-law married to sister Jackie of the Roseann Show.He later married singer Bonnie Raitt in real life.

Yes, the comedy is worth having this put on dvd. Shame on the studios for not doing it ! Those of us growing up as teens when this film came out will still truly appreciate it's crass humor as well as have a flood of 80's memories. Check out when the guys crash the Palm Beach party held in the honor of "Ralph","one of the greatest minds of our time" heh heh...and don't forget the guys dressed up like Miami Vice rejects for the memorial/party!...

I don't know about anyone else's copy of this film on VHS, but I still get a kick out of the B- movie preview of "Girls' Night Out" with again the crazy music and clothing of the 80's !...The preview shows a young and sexy Daphne Zuniga, Virginia Madsen, and some unknown 80's girl named Cindy Gibb...Wow, truly a sign of the times...

Fell Down Laughing
If you have not seen this movie do yourself a favor and check it out. You need to be able to laugh at anything though as this movie is so non P.C. it hurts to laugh. This is by far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I have waited for this on DVD for quite some time and am very happy to see it coming out.

You will definitely find yourself repeating some of the catch phrases from this movie but I warn you.....there is alot of profanity in this movie so be prepared.

Overall this is one of the very few movies I give a 5 star to but it deserves it. It is nice to see a movie (even though it is from the 80's) that was not afraid to take the glove and slap the face of all the b.s. P.C. people on this planet.

About time...
"SOLD!" I've been waiting for this to be released on DVD. Classisc Paul Rodriguez. Haven't seen this film since mid 1980's, but I still remember the lines. Amadeus, Amadeus, rock me Amadeus! Don't sleep on this one.
