Tunnel Vision Audience Reviews

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
movieman_kev In the future of 1985, a governmental committee headed by Howard Hesseman, is holding hearings on TV's first uncensored network. They sample it's programming, that play as a series of skits. I can name the good 'skit' movies on one hand, not using my thumb. "Amazon Women on the Moon", "Kentucky Fried Movie", "The Meaning of Life", and "Mr. Mike's Mondo Video". Notice how I didn't mention "Tunnel Vision"? The reason for that is that this 'movie' is death in cinematic form. None of the skits are even remotely funny, or even the least bit clever. It takes some sort of great ineptitude on the film makers' part to not even get one laugh out of me.My Grade: F Eye Candy: Dody Dorn goes full frontal
justicealan This movie is a prime example of squandering great resources in a film. You've got future SNL and SCTV stars in their prime, such as John Candy, Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, Al Franken,Tom Davis and Joe Flaherty essentially making 70 minutes of coarse, uninspired fart and racist jokes. The concept of a network from the future subverting society could have really been taken to some interesting extremes, but instead right out the gate, makes a lame, juvenile proctology joke and stays in that vein of humor the whole way.Seek out the earlier and much more subversive and witty Groove Tube or the later, hilarious Kentucky Fried Movie. This movie is only for those who want to see a time capsule of bad 70's sketch comedy movies.
Dashner This one is definitely a product of the 1970's with it's post- Watergate and Viet Nam cynicism. Perhaps it's a bit dated, but does a great job capturing the smarmy quality of TV commercials of the era, especially because it uses some of the best voice over talent of the time (Ernie Anderson, Danny Dark, etc.). Look for pre-fame bit parts by John Candy, Chevy Chase, Ron Silver, and director Betty Thomas.
Tito-8 If you're a fan of rampant racism, tired jokes that were never funny, and general all-out tastelessness, then perhaps you should give this film a look. Otherwise, avoid this film at all costs. It's truly amazing that people like Chevy Chase and Betty Thomas managed to have successful careers when you consider that there was a time when they decided that roles in "Tunnelvision" would be intelligent career choices. Blecch.
