Purely Joyful Movie!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

THE SILENCE OF THE HAMSWow... this is a blast from the past. I remember buying this movie on VHS when it first came out. It is a spoof of a lot of movies that were recent back when it was released. Some of the movies it parodies is The Slience of the Lambs, Psycho and Basic Instinct.This is a good film, but its not the best parody I have ever seen. There are some really funny moments in it though. It is as stupid in places as expected from a film like this. But that is a good thing.It has got a lot of famous faces in it too. Dom DeLuise plays the Hanibal Lector rip off, Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza. Billy Zane plays the FBI agent Jo Dee Fostar. It also has John Astin, Rip Taylor, Bubba Smith, Shelley Winters, John Carpenter, John Landis and Mel Brooks appearing.Now I find there are too many spoofs out there now. It was all funny until Scary Movie 3 onwards. I am not a fan of Disaster Movie, Superhero Movie, Epic Movie, Vampires Suck etc... the only decent recent one was Meet the Spartans. I thought that was funny.But back in the 80s and 90s, they were funny...Like I said, this is not the best one... but still good and worth a watch.I will give this film 6 out of 10.The legendary Dom DeLuise is great all the time.For more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

It is an true art form to make a good parody, an art form that Mel Brooks perfected. And even if Mel Brooks has a brief cameo, it is Ezio Greggio that is the mastermind of this one. And though he don't reach the heights of Brooks, he and the rest of the cast and crew delivers a good parody. The base for the parody is Silence of the Lambs and Psycho, but some other movies get spoofed along the way.In a movie as this it is the jokes that is the essence of it all. One can't really talk of a coherent plot nor is the cast performance the major part. Note however that the performance is not bad, but it is more fun to try to recognize each actor/actress instead, as it is used in some jokes. Now, the joke part, I think that the major part of the jokes and spoofs was very funny. Some didn't work, and some too predictable to produce much laughter. However, all in all, the jokes were good and well worth the time spent watching the movie.7/10

Before I saw this movie, I thought to myself "No movie can be worse that Freddy Got Fingered". Well after seeing this movie, it makes FGF look like an Oscar masterpeice. If you want to see horrible jokes, bad lighting, stupid sight gags, a rightfully so uncomfortable looking Martin Balsam, and just an overall bad movie, then Silence of the Hams is the movie for you.Poor Martin, by the way he looks in this movie, you can tell he's saying "My god, I was an Oscar winner once...now i'm in this pile of crap movie."Avoid this movie at all costs.

Ezio Greggio an unknown genius brings the most unusual comedy of the decade. Thou it is extremely funny, it never makes any damn sense. They make fun of almost every scary movie since 1930. Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, House, The Addams Family, Jurrasic Park, Frankenstein, Dracula and more and even a cameo joke of Star Wars at the end. If would have to give it presents I would give it 50% for good fun and some hilarious moments.
