The Fat Boys Cult Classic Comedy! March 31, 2008
Hype Currie (Detroit, Michigan United States)
This is a great B-movie, starring the 1980s hip-hop trio The Fat Boys.
Don't expect a taut plot, but there's lots of music and slapstick comedy!
Disorderlies (1987)
General Plot: Bungling hospital orderlies are hired to care for an aging billionaire.
Featured players:
Darren Robinson, aka Buffy the Human Beatbox, died in 1995 from heart-related problems.
Damon Wimbley, aka Kool Rock, has since lost all his excess heft, and currently is a fitness trainer (!). Rumors swirl of comeback plans for the surviving members.
Mark Morales, aka Markie Dee, has since pursued a career as a music producer. He has worked with Mary J Blige and Mariah Carey, and has put out two solo albums.
The late Ralph Bellamy's career in Hollywood began in the 1930's. In Trading Places he was one of the rich guys who manipulate Dan Aykroyd & Eddie Murphy.
Anthony Geary (Winslow), is best known for playing Luke on General Hospital.
Cameos:
Ray Parker Jr. ("Ghostbusters") plays a pizza delivery man. Helen Reddy ("I am Woman") is a socialite.
Other Trivia:
Marco Rodriguez plays "Luis Montana". In the aftermath of 1983's Scarface, this movie is but one of dozens to feature a generic crazed Latin gangster. At least the accent is decent.
Alas, this would be the last feature film starring the trio. There were tentative plans to feature them in a horror comedy called Scared Stupid-- which originally was supposed to star the Beastie Boys-- but it didn't happen.

Oh my WORD! I cannot believe that the '80s is now the oldies. (Let me stop before I start feeling old).
Back to the movie, I'm in TOTAL agreement about with the first reviewer about not drinking anything. If it doesn't come out of your nose, it will come out elsewhere.
I laughed mu bumper off BIG TIME seeing this flick. I'm SO going to buy this! I loved the Fat Boys beboxing (a sound that few rappers make with their mouth). This time I'll bebox right along with them.
I love the '80s for many reasons, but this is one of the best parts of the '80s; this movie.

If you like laughing, smiling, or smirking out loud...this is definitely the motion picture for you. And if you don't like any of the above, why then you should take a good hard look at the "Man in a Mirror" as Michael Jackson pointed out, and think about both changing your ways and--let me be clear--if you want to make the world a better place, I recommend taking a look at yourself and making a change. Sha-na-na-na-na-na.
The Fat Boys burst onto the screen, like a modern day Marx Brothers, and let's be fair...the Marx Brothers were not human beat machines. They had the funny lookin' fella with the moustache and the simple one who can't talk. And one of them was Hispanic. But The Fat Boys are triple threats: they can rhyme, they can act like a mutha, and they are--in my opinion--also obese.
This film centers around their struggles with obesity that is at once poignant and utterly charming. Is it nature or nurture that had led the Fat Boys to their life of high caloric intake and whimsical slapsticking? The director of Disorderlies does not back down from this tough, polarizing question, and by the end of the film be prepared for your preconceived notions and your funny bone to be rocked to the fat core.
My only criticism of this otherwise hilarious thinking-man's (or woman's, or fat man's) dramedy is that it bears a striking resemblance to the Anthony Minghella film, "The English Patient." Why was one recognized by the Oscars and Disorderlies not even nominated? Some may say racism, and others might opine that it's weightism. I say it's both. Which is a shame because it means there will never ever be a man or woman of color who gets an Academy Award, ever!
Smarten up, people. It's not the 90s anymore!

I saw this movie the first time it came out, and I was only five years old. It is so hilarious. My favorite scene is when Buffy is trying to give the old man CPR, and Buffy starts yelling MOUTH to MOUTH!!!! I laughed my tail off!!! Buffy passed away in 1995, and he is missed. This film is a must have!!!! I can't believe that this film came out twenty years ago!!!!!
