n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

You have a family of decrepit, inbred freaks, rotting in a hellish kingdom of trash they rule over with arbitrarily insane cruelty as they capture unsuspecting passer-throughs in increasingly complex traps made from garbage and deadly, mechanical ingenuity. The perfect premise for a disturbing slasher flick in a demented carnival of horror.But...this effed up situation is ruined by slapstick, bawdy humor, and Chevy Chase's irritatingly dry, caustic snark that just makes you want to smack him.The two genres are not mixed effectively, and the entire movie comes across as disjointed, bizarre, and just not that well done. The different comedic styles of Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy do not meld with each other, let alone the horror situation, and none of the actors have chemistry together.It certainly is the only movie really like it, and may be worth watching based on the strange factor alone. Fun to watch in a group and heckle, those who are fans of The Room, Rocky Horror, Trolls, and similarly Bad 'cult' movies may find another weird film to worship in Nothing But Trouble.

I'd give this horrible movie a zero if the rating numbers allowed me to. This movie was sickening, perverse, evil, and was total putrescense. I cannot believe the terrific, rave reviews for this movie. I also saw a number of other awful reviews too, so I guess my thoughts on this film are not alone."Nothing but trouble" was awful and sickening. It star Chevy Chase and Demi Moore who decide to go to Atlantic city for the weekend. Two other Spanish colleagues of thiers, but not quite friends, invite themselves againced Cheve's will to tag along last minute. On route, the guy colleague Randy, an arrogant jerk, persuades Cheve to take a shortcut and also to speed. Randy gets pressuring about it. "Come on man, you have a BMW, act like it!" Then they drive through a mysterious dusty looking ghost town. While passing through it, Cheve unknowingly runs a stop sign. Cop John Candy sees this and starts pursuing them. When he stops them, he orders them to follow him. They follow him into a very strange and erie area and up to an ancient looking dilapidated creepy old house. Inside the house is even creepier. It's filthy, cluttered, and mothball eaten with bizarre looking gadgets and accessories.Then they meet the judge. From this point onward in the film is nightmarishly horrible. The part of the film leading up to this point was not too good itself, but now the film turned dreadful, disgusting, and scary. But not scary in a good horror movie way. Scary in a sick, vomit inducing, mentally traumatizing way. The judge, played by Dan Aykroyd, is one sick, evil, disgusting thing. He sends many of his "defendants" onto a conveyor belt which carries them into a flesh stripping, murderous machine called bonestripper. The machine even shows bones being shot out of it after people were sucked into it. There are other freaky, scary traps in the house too. Then there's the creatures of the house itself. The Judge's nose looks very much like something you really don't want to see on a man's face, and that image itself has giving me nightmares and literally made me vomit, literally! Then the judge can also pull parts of his body off and on again. Then there's these two hideous freak fat creatures that live right outside the house in the dumpyard. Then there's the moat which is literally raw sewage. Then there's the hotdogs the judge forces his guests to eat for dinner. And the hot dogs are made of, well I'll just say too words. Bonestripper. Cannibalism. This was the most sickning, evil, revolting, perverse, horrible, dreadful movie I've ever seen.

This movie was great and enjoyable back in 1991 and still is so even today. There is just that something unique about the chemistry between comedians Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Chevy Chase.The story is about four upscale people whom are caught for traffic violations in Valkenvania and are brought for immediate sentencing before the eccentric judge Alvin Valkenheiser. And soon the day turns into a real nightmare.While "Nothing But Trouble" is not the type of comedy that will split you open from excessive laughing, then there is just something Classic about the entire movie; be it the mood and absurdity of the story, the hilarious and outrageous characters, or the fact that Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Chevy Chase were just a great combination, I do not know. But I do know that this movie is entertaining.The movie does bear itself as watchable more than once. And if you are a fan of Dan Aykroyd, John Candy or Chevy Chase, then "Nothing But Trouble" is a must watch.

You know the film has a few decent characteristics... the set design is pretty cool and there's a little be of an uncomfortable gore/make-up edge to it, but that's about it.It's not funny at all. The whole concept seems absolutely ridiculous. Way TOO over-the-top imo. I've revisited-it once since watching-it in the theater, and it's still as bad as I remembered.Slightly entertaining sight gags nearly, and I mean NEARLY make it passable.A cast that includes Akroyd, Chase, and Demi Moore drew us in, but I remember the entire audience(at least the one's I heard) being quite disgruntled with this odd and unfunny mess of a movie.I'd pass. 34/100
