The Silence of the Hams

More gags than a basement full of hostages; more stars than the Betty Ford Clinic; more laughs than a year's worth of sitcoms - it's The Silence Of The Hams!  Forget Airplane, Loaded Weapon, Hot Shots and The Naked Gun, this spooftacular gagfest is funnier Hams down.  Unlike the Academy Award winning film, The Silence of the Lambs, that it parodies, this madcap misadventure follows rookie FBI agent Jo Dee Fostar (Billy Zane) and the maniacal Dr. Animal Cannibal Pizza (Dom DeLuise) to lunatic heights of comedic mayhem.  Joining Zane and DeLuise in the super silliness is a Hollywood who's who including Ezio Greggio, Joanna Pacual (Tombstone), Charlene Tilton (Dallas), Martin Balsam (Cape Fear), Stuart Pankin (Basic Instinct), John Astin (Addams Family), Phyllis Diller, Bubba Smith, Larry Storch, Rip Taylor, Academy Award winner Shelly Winters, plus a gaggle of surprise cameo appearances.  If you want to see all your Hollywood favorites get twisted in hilarious new directions, you've come to the right box.  A bus in the hallway.  Lawyers in a moat.  Psycho killers in the shower.  Interpretive dance in the office.  What's it all got in common?  Laughs!  Pig out on a funny movie...The Silence Of The Hams!

Running time 85 minutes  Cabin Fever Entertainment  1993  Rated R

Personal Rating:

If you feel like laughing, this is a movie for you.  Very Funny.  Billy Zane, as always, looks incredible and his comedic side shines through.  :-)

On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 7.
