Info

As not-quite-orderlies who're downright Disorderlies, rap-music favorites The Fat Boys rule. Playing the freewheeling caretakers of the frail Dennison, they stir up a comedic culture clash in Palm Beach society that only proves laughter is the best medicine this side of a tax refund.

Disorderlies Audience Reviews

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Mark Tyrrell The Fat Boys are an American Hip Hop trio from Brooklyn, New York City that star in this epically hilarious film. It's like The Three Stooges meets rap. I still love this movie. Three chumps hired to take care of a super rich guy whose health is on the decline. They hapless trio luck into a cure as the bungle up their job and lose his medication. The Bungling idiots are very endearing, and as such they become friends with the eccentric Albert and as he gets better they get to enjoy the good life with him. The only problem is the douche bag of a nephew needs hams to kick the bucket to pay off his debts to a drug dealing loan shark. Through a series of comically failed attempts and bad jokes makes this movie hilarious. A fun family goof ball movie…. Watch it and enjoy
Ryan McLelland In an old school mood I spent a good weekend looking around for some great old school rap music. I was pleased to hear that Prince Markie Dee and Kool Rock were finally getting back together for a Fat Boys reunion album. Buffy, the largest of the group, died back in 1995 but it is nice for them to carry on the legacy of the group. There was Buffy recorded vocals for a comeback album that was planned during the nineties that never came about - so they those for the upcoming album.ANYWAY I thought of Disorderlies - which I pulled off my friend's DVD shelf to watch. The Fat Boys stole the show in Krush Groove and their lighthearted humor would play out well for a starring feature. They landed Krush Groove director Michael Schultz who had, at that time, directed some classics like Car Wash and Cooley High (not to forget The Last Dragon) and Ralph Bellamy - who is usually known as 'one of the old dudes from Trading Places'.The film was actually a very modest hit - making just a little more than 10 million dollars at the box office. Run-D.M.C.'s film, which came out just a year later, would only gross 3.5 million!!! Off the top of my head I went and looked up what Belly made in theaters - the film that starred Nas, DMX, and Method Man. Over 10 years later that film made just LESS than 10 million dollars. DMX you got PWNED by The Fat Boys Around 1987 was where Schoolly D, Public Enemy, and Ice-T were bringing their early gangster rap that would soon be solidified by N.W.A. The Fat Boys would see Disorderlies as one of their higher points as a group. They made a few more albums, the last one without Markie as he broke out to do a successfully early 90s solo career. And that would be it for the boys - at least moviewise. Sure this film isn't winning any awards but over twenty years later it is still FUN! Of course others have compared this the humor to The Three Stooges and perhaps owing a bit to The Marx Brothers as well. It's a welcomed comparison but the slapstick plays well with the Fat Boys.So I was happy to rewatch the movie and enjoy the hell out of it. If you've never seen the movie or never even heard of the Fat Boys - it is really a treat to watch for the first time. The trio were amazing rappers and...while not great actors...made the most of a fun film. It almost makes you forgive Michael Schultz for directing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. ... Almost.
Michael James (warning: possible spoilers below) One of the best ideas for a comedy film ever! You see, the nephew of a rich old man is waiting impatiently for his uncle (played by Ralph Bellamy) to die, and somehow he blames the orderlies taking care of 'ol Ralph for his longevity. So what does he do? He hires ... dis-orderlies! Played by the Fat Boys! It's a reminder that, while the 80s were fun, it's pretty good to be in the twenty- first century.
m_hebner ****SPOILERS AHEAD****I've have seen this movie too many times to count and I still laugh hard whenever I watch it. Its about 3 guys that get fired from their jobs at a nursing home and a sick millionaire's nephew hires them to accidently kill him so he can inherit all of his uncle's money but that plan backfires. But the funniest part in the movie is when Kool starts blasting a grandfather clock with a machine gun. Thats All I'm going to say. I will only say this other thing. If your looking for a good laugh go to your local video store and rent Disorderlies if they got it and you won't regret it.
