utter tripe - By: Mr. O. A. Lewis, 05 May 2004
what a mess! I love the goons radio show but this bears little resemblance. a big dissapointment, dont bother with it. unfunny
For true Goon fans only - By: Alan Olsen, 16 Sep 2003
The Goon show movie is a curiosity. Goon show and/or Peter Sellers fans will want to have it. Others might be disapointed.

It is not very long. (Only 1 hour 7 minutes.) It is quite dated. A paper-thin plot padded out with non-Goon dance numbers & songs. There is a stage show whos only point seems to be to show off Peter Sellers & the dancing girls.

It does have a few interesting bits. Peter Sellers has a monologue with multiple characters in the stage review at the end. There are a few laughs off & on. (Mostly off.)

The Goons humor works better on radio. This movie shows just why.

But I am not sorry I got it. It is a very odd movie that does have a few worthwhile bits & is worth seeing once.
