a geek is the number one qb in the country, lmao, this movie is so bad its actually good
shareIt's so bad, I may have enjoyed it over thirty times...Uma is just plain sexy
shareI wouldn't say worst of all time, but it has a lot of problems.
It really feels like whole scenes were cut out. Being that it is right at 90 mins, I'm guessing the studio made them cut it to 90 mins.
For instance, when Johnny comes back from California and has the boots and purple clothes on. No one in California wore clothes like that in this movie. I'm guessing there was a scene where they took him to a clothes shop and bought them for him.
Why do the recruiters care so much about how well he punts? His punting is never mentioned again.
RDJ just acts crazy and seems to be wearing make up.
The prank scene is edited oddly. The pizza guy is there and the rest of the people seem to magicly appear.
Johnny drums along to football clips for some reason. Drums are never mentioned in the movie.
The lines by Georgia's mom during the lawn football game are really bad. A crowd of people magicly appear with no explanation. It looks like the cheerleaders flash, but it cuts away.
Johnny seems to know random people. How would he know the guy at the party with the chip and guacamole sombrero?
What's with the scene after Johnny surprises Georgia in her bed? It cuts to him and RDJ fighting. Why?

Cool story.
Does that mean your mom has a script?
If she was only in one scene, I wouldn't think she would know about the rest of the movie unless she had the full script.
Does she have any stories about RDJ? He seemed like he was on something.
Robert Yeoman went on to become Wes Anderson's cinematographer.

Me and the other Tupperware Lady was only to get $75.00 a day. After the scene when the stripper came in, our wages went to $375.00 a day because of me. While he was dancing in front of me, Jennifer Tilly and the other Tupperware lady were looking up at his eyes. I looked over at them and said "It's NOT his eye balls you are supposed to be looking at". Jennifer rolled off the couch. Camera men put down their camera's and everyone was laughing VERY hard. You see, the man was dancing right in front of me and his pelvic area was right in front of my face. This was a very fun movie to be a part of. I was just back from Germany and had to go back but my friend wanted me to go with her because she wanted to audition. I told her I wasn't going to, but I would go with her. When we got there a lady came over to me and asked me to fill out the paperwork, she told me I was the one they were looking for. AND that is how it happened!! Lots of laughs.
Cool.
I guess the only way to really kind of know the original structure of the film would be to get a copy of the script.
Saw a behind the scenes tale on Amazon:
"I was in this film.
ByAvery Gordon on November 3, 2012
I played Uma Thurman's mother and Sheriff Elkins' wife. We were supposed to HATE Johnny, i.e. Anthony Michael Hall. He and Robert Downey Jr. were incredible goofballs on set, and you could never believe anything they said, so it was easy for me to be a viper onscreen. There was always a huge line of teenage girls outside Robert and Anthony's trailers, we had to shoo them away. We were all aware that our director, though a well-known cinematographer, was a first-time director. He joshed a lot with us all. Cool, but the movie was changed as we went along and it wreaked havoc. It was Uma Thurman's first film as well, as she was a model and 15-16 years old. Robert Downey tried to convince me his dad was a famous opera singer... Oh yeah, "Eraserhead" was an opera. Almost all the footage Robert did was on-the-spot improv, and he was brilliant at it. The monologue he has in the film was made up entirely on the spot, and Bud kept it. I told Robert I thought he'd be a brilliant serious actor. He looked at me, mask dropped, and he said, "Have you heard of 'Less Than Zero?', and I told him I had. He said he'd been offered the script, and was thinking of taking it. He did, and it made his career. All in all, this is one stupid film... But that's what makes it so dang funny, and such a classic. All the performers became film luminaries. If you insist on seeing the cheerleaders (who were in reality all strippers from a local men's club) flash the sheriff, then look around, you may find it. But they aren't on this version."
You think THIS movie is bad. Oh please, you've led a very sheltered life. I just saw this movie after a long time. And I did so after watching that latest sci-fi channel offering 'Ghost Shark'. Compared to THAT movie Johnny Be Good is an Oscar winning documentary.
