'Mongrel' is more like it! December 9, 2009
Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth)
THE MOGUL is an off-market edition of what was originally a PARAMOUNT home VHS release entitled THE RATINGS GAME. Various niche outfits have issued this comedy, mostly on tape. The general consensus is that NONE are worth buying due to inferior picture quality. As of 12/09, "Mogul/Ratings Game" was not available on a studio authorized DVD.
Recommended as a collectible certain to increase in value is the 1998 Paramount VHS of THE RATINGS GAME.
SYNOPSIS--
Danny DeVito is a Mob-connected trucking outfit owner. His girlfriend (Rhea Perlman) works for the Computron ratings company. With her inside info, Danny is able to send his goons to Computron households and artificially raise the ratings of various TV shows he produces for a struggling 4th-rate network.
This made-for-TVer plays like an extended SNL skit and has some outstandingly funny moments. The cast includes SEINFELD's Michael Richards in his third big screen appearance and Bowery Boy Huntz Hall ('Sach') in one of his last. Watch for George Wendt ('Norm' on CHEERS) in a small role. Jerry Seinfeld also cameos!
Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.

 It is most certainly a "Bootleg"... March 21, 2008

The original title was "The Ratings Game".The copy sold here on Amazon is definately a "Bootleg" copy released by an unknown production company.The picture is barely watchable and is "hazy" at times.The movie itself is quite funny and well worth 10 or 12 bucks if you can get a decent copy.Bring this one out every 4-5 years or so,otherwise more frequent viewings will cause it to lose its' appeal.The fictional cartoon in the movie titled "Goombah's" should tell you what type of laughs that you'll get with this cult movie from the mid 80's.
If you find another source... January 10, 2007

If you find another source for this movie, pursue it!
I liked the movie very much, and saw it first produced on Showtime Entertainment. This copy appears to be burn made from someone's TV set.
Good movie for cheesy fun films, poor quality recording.
 BIG LOW-BROW LAUGHS! January 30, 2006

This movie is hilarious. Danny Devito is a thug with Hollywood dreams, and his mob-ties make them all come true. Just imagine the endless possabilities! Absolutely stupid-funny!
