Leonard Part 6 review

Leonard Part 6

Bottom Line: If crap were ever filmed, this is what it would look like. Good Job, Bill Cosby!

Before I start bashing this film or Bill Cosby, I should say that I really like Bill Cosby. I think his stand up is great warm fun. I grew up watching The Cosby Show. Cosby’s brand of comedy was clean and intelligent. Hell, I liked his Coke-Cola ads, and Jello pudding pops. However, he’s made some bad decision in his life, career wise. Leonard Part 6 is the prime exampled of that. (Note: He followed this movie with the equally dreadful Ghost Dad.)

Words can’t describe the how bad this movie really is. Bill Cosby himself helped write and produce this canned crap. After the film was completed and ready to be released, Bill went on the talk show rounds and warned people of it. He told people not to waste their money. He even tried to lay all the blame on the director Paul Weiland. But, come on Bill, you helped write the damn movie. It was a spin move by Bill to deflect the blame onto someone else.

This is the plotline from IMDB.com, ((The CIA asks for ex-spy Leonard's help in stopping an evil force that is brainwashing small animals into killing people. Leonard, however, has his own problems to deal with: winning back his ex-wife.))

Yep, this story is about animals across the world attacking CIA agents, killing them. Behind all of it is a woman that wants to rule the world with animals. One agent is spying on the evil HQ when hundreds of frogs sneak under his car and jump in unison to leap the agent’s car into the river, killing the agent. You also get to watch Bill Cosby dance and drink liquor. There are no redeeming scenes in this crap-made movie.

Bill himself simply sleepwalks through each scene. You can tell he really didn’t want to do the movie. After the movie bombed at the box office, Bill bought the rights to the film and made sure no one would ever watch the film again, until now. For some reason, he let Sony release the DVD (no extras, of course).

Please watch this movie, it’s really ghastly funny, kind of like Monkey Bone.
