At the Movies: The Stinkers of 1983 (1983)
Fans of At the Movies know that some of the best moments happen when critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel hated a movie. The annual "Stinkers of the Year" episodes are always a lot of fun because the critics get to revisit and laugh at some of the year's worst movies. This episode is pretty much all sequels as we get to hear them discuss films like: STAYING ALIVE, AMITYVILLE 3-D, SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT 3, JAWS 3-D, THE STING II and PORKy'S II.
If you're into Siskel and Ebert then you already know how fun these type of episodes are because it gave the critics a chance to attack movies they felt wasted their time and money. This one here is a pretty good one because of the films in question,a though I must admit that I disagreed with a couple of them. They're really harsh on PORKY'S II, which is understandable but they seem outraged that a teen sex comedy would feature naughty jokes. Isn't that the point? They make some great arguments about the poor visuals of 3-D.
