			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://carmovies.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hollywood_knights.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-113" title="hollywood_knights" src="http://carmovies.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hollywood_knights-194x300.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="300" /></a>Robert Wuhl is the BEST in this funny, funny film (his first film role)! It&#8217;s Halloween 1965 and the local teen hangout is about to be shut down and demolished by the town council, who can&#8217;t wait to get rid of the kids (mainly the Hollywood Knights gang) who loiter there. There&#8217;s lots of great tunes from the era by the Beach Boys, Byrds, Sam the Sham, Motown artists and more.</p>
<p>The scene where Wuhl farts the song &#8220;Volare&#8217;&#8221; in the gym is maybe only 30 seconds long but it&#8217;s so funny, I had to rewind to see it over and over again! What else does he (as Newbomb Turk) do? Oh, not much&#8230;he and some Knights pee in the party punch, tapes some girls in the bathroom, causes a cop&#8217;s toilet to overflow and &#8220;attempts&#8221; a sexcapade with Fran Drescher in the back seat.</p>
<p>By the way, Drescher is so incredibly sexy in this film (maybe accidently?), you&#8217;ll forget all the other stuff she was in (her voice isn&#8217;t as annoying as it would be in &#8220;The Nanny&#8221;). She&#8217;s young and gorgeous with a taut, toned body that you&#8217;ll be dreamin&#8217; about!</p>
<p>My other favorite scenes are with Gailard Sartain as the cop/archenemy of the Knights and Stuart Pankin as the nerdly bandmember/magician/honor student, Dudley. These two character actors add a HUGE part to this movie!</p>
<p>The only disappointing factor in this film is the inclusion of the relationship between Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer. Yeah, Michelle&#8217;s very pretty and Tony may cause a few female hearts to flutter but their scenes drag the film down&#8230;WAY down! Just as you&#8217;re on an incredible high from Wuhl&#8217;s hilarious antics, they cut to the completely unfunny seriousness of Tony and Michelle&#8217;s fragile relationship. What a drag! It&#8217;s supposed to be a funny film but their scenes veer sharply into soap opera territory&#8230;blech! Funny thing is, Tony NEVER, EVER appears with Wuhl or any of the other mischief makers in the film &#8211; he&#8217;s not even listed in the closing credits, which leads me to believe his inclusion in the movie was an afterthought, maybe for some star-power thanks to his co-starring stint on &#8220;Taxi.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aside from those EXTREMELY unfunny scenes, I gave it five stars anyway, because there are many, many funny vignettes with Sartain, Pankin, Leigh French, Dick Schaal and many of the others. This is Robert Wuhl at his best! DON&#8217;T MISS IT!!!</p>
