Review of
Mad
Movies III Winter 1991
Five out of five stars
No one does a
satire/parody of movies better than Mad Magazine and that is demonstrated once
again in this magazine. The five movies that are lampooned are “Ghostbusters,” “Karate
Kid,” “Purple Rain,” “Beverly Hills Cop,”, “Goonies” and “All of Me.” There are
other movie related pieces as well as a satire of the TV show “Night Court.”
Some of the other
material is a “Spy Vs. Spy,” “Who Needs It?” “The Lighter Side . . . ” and a “Mad’s
Practical Joke” selection. All are made in the usual twisted way of “Mad” with
truth expressed honestly often being more biting and accurate than falsehoods.
The “Mad” way of
humor is not for everyone, so your laugh rate will vary. Yet, if you enjoy that
type of humor, this is a magazine that will light a giggle fire in you.
