I watched this on HBO the other day and I have to say i was not quite impressed (but then again i had low standards going into the movie in the first place). The script was an amateur attempt at making a Chevy Chase vehicle, the jokes were terrible and the special effects were a bit to be desired. The movie was bad...it was bad bad bad.
However..
This is one of those movies that is so bad that it leaves you going back to see it again. I had originally taped it on DVR, and afterward, I found myself keeping it and not deleting it like I had originally planned.
"Modern Problems" has Chevy Chase as a guy who has an extremely bad day. However, as the Hollywood rules go, dump some toxic waste on him and give him some supernatural powers. Cliché I know. But oh so fun. In movies like this you see the person becoming some sort of superhero. This movie breaks away from the cliché and has the guy act out revenge towards the people who have harmed him (not to mention giving his girlfriend one hell of an orgasm.)The end is a little weird, and definitely stupid, but I couldn't help but laugh at the wackiness of it all. And the message at the end (if you haven't been disgusted by it just yet), just goes to show that there is always someone who will love you.
Patti D'Arbanville also surprised me. She wasn't bad at all. She was pretty good. She's a great crier and shows great emotion when she acts.
5/10. Simply because it had potential but someone completely missed it.
