I'm adding a star because I had genuine interest in seeing Stuttering John on film. For those who arn't predisposed to that this is barely a 1 star movie.
Ok, on with the review.
This is a movie written by and starring former Howard Stern intern and current Tonight Show announcer John Melendez. I would guess that if it had been written by anyone else it would have been used for toilet paper instead of green lighted to a film.
Where to begin? Melendezs' writing and acting are both atrocious. He thinks everything he says is funny and laughs at himself after nearly every "punchline", he's really on level with some of the worst actors I've ever seen.
The story revolves him as a womanizer who after many failed relationships, decides he wants to find the perfect woman, one who will accept other women into their bed. So of course a search ensues for that perfect girl.
Once found we're treated to mishaps and miscommunications, laughter (not really) and tears (laughably).
Very few things in this movie work. The eventual girlfriend does an fine job playing a stock character who's motives and desires change for no reason other than because the script has to get from a to z.
Jeffrey Ross is nearly decent as the best friend delivering roast jokes in the form of dialog.
The whole idea that an actor in NYC (which is absurd enough to begin with as Ross and Melendez don't look like any successful actor you've ever seen) who has spent his whole life womanizing, yet has never met a woman into 3somes and salivates at the idea that their may be one out there is ridiculous enough for 1990, let alone 2008.
Just a real piece of shit.
