TV: Doing Time On Maple Drive (1992)

No estamos acostumbrados a ver a Jim Carrey en roles que no sean cómicos o protagonistas, pero aquí está, en uno de sus primeras incursiones dramáticas para un telefime emitido por Fox en 1992. Aquí interpreta a Tim, un joven que se ha ganado el descontento de su padre debido a su alcoholismo. Hijo mayor de Phil (James B. Sikking), propietario de un restaurante, y Lisa (Bibi Besch), una ama de casa, Tim se considera la oveja negra de su familia, la desilusión más grande del clan. Su hermana Karen (Jayne Brook), casada con Tom (David Byron), se niega a tener hijos debido a su situación financiera mientras que Matt (William McNamara), el menor del clan y el verdadero orgullo de su padre, lleva a su novia Allison (Lori Loughlin) con el fin de presentarla. El contexto es emocionante, ya que ambos están muy ocupados preparando su boda.

La cotidianeidad le muestra a Allison que la fachada de perfección que detenta la familia de su novio va derrumbándose no bien asoman los primeros, mínimos, inconvenientes. Tom la alerta de la exigencia de perfección que ha impuesto Phil, cuyo influjo domina toda la estructura familiar.

Con la fecha de la boda cada vez más cerca, la muchacha decide dejar a su novio debido a un suceso imprevisto: alguien le ha dejado en el bolsillo la carta que confirma que Matt había mantenido hasta no hacía mucho una relación afectiva con Kyle (Bennett Cale), compañero de colegio. Desesperado por el terror a desilusionar a su familia, Matt toma una decisión brutal, de último minuto, la cual no develaremos porque, claro, la idea es que veas la historia.

Ken Olin es el encargado de poner en imagenes el guión de James Duff, quien intentó plasmar sus experiencias personales, logrando una historia tensa y dramática no exenta de verosimilitud y, fiel a su origen de telefilme, toca otras temáticas de impacto social. Interesante.

Ed (1996)

Before I talk about Ed, I have to talk about Air Bud. That’s the movie about the dog who can shoot hoops and joins his lonely owner’s school basketball team. For years, I eagerly anticipated what I imagined the film was like. When I finally saw it... major letdown. What does this have to do with Ed? To put it bluntly, this Matt Leblanc/monkey costume duo is exactly what I pictured Air Bud would be. Ridiculous, hilarious - often unintentionally.

It’s about a rookie baseball player who gets stuck babysitting the team mascot, a chimpanzee named Ed. Jack Cooper (Leblanc) is inexperienced. Ed is a natural, easily throwing balls with such strength that he could decapitate anyone if he wished to. The film follows a series of comedic hijinks and would-be romantic moments as the two bond, Jack starts dating Lydia (Jayne Brook), the hottie next door (her daughter plays with the ape while they’re out on dates), and THE BIG GAME approaches.

Ed is bad in a good way because it's completely earnest. The people in charge are making a comedy, but they're trying to make this a legit movie. Jack isn’t playing Major League Baseball, he’s playing in a league just underneath them because "Well! Having an ape playing on a PROFESSIONAL level would just be ridiculous!" There's character development and time spent showing the realism of the relationships. The script is filled with jokes for the kids and makes a herculean effort to sell you its premise. They even have a line akin to that of “There is no rule that says a player has to be human to participate!”

This film bounces between being genuinely funny and so unbelievably brainless you're having one laugh after another. Every single cliché of these “animals that end up playing sports movies” is proudly displayed. They even have a bumbling, mustache-twirling villain that doesn’t believe Ed is capable of emotion because there isn’t enough going on here with the friendships, the romance, and the big game. After seeing the ape drive, bend steel bars, throw, catch, pitch, and bat, who would ever call it “just an animal”? I half expected the chimp to lead the world into a Planet of the Apes.

As a pick for your “Bad Movie Night”, you can't do much better. Firstly, it delivers everything you want to see. It has the iconic lines you would expect from a movie of this “genre”. It has the corny romance, the physics-destroying baseball games, the blatant disregard for logic, and once it in a while even has some funny jokes. There is a scene in which we see Friends playing on TV. I couldn't wait to see what would come next. Is this a world in which Matt Leblanc and Jack are twins, separated at birth? Did Matt Leblanc get hit in the head and develop amnesia, retreating to the country, and becoming a baseball player? Is it like Last Action Hero rules, where the actor playing Joey on Friends is a different person?

I would never tell anyone that Ed is good, even if there are some legitimately humorous moments and decent special effects. I would recommend it as a piece of entertainment. You’ll be laughing with it, or at it. Either way, you'll be doing it consistently. This is the definitive “Animal playing professional sports movie”. It’s ridiculous. I loved it! (On VHS, March 6, 2015)
