Dangerfield at his best!
Mar 22, 2007
Josh Rimokh - imdb.com
First of let me just say that you have to be a Rodney Dangerfield fan to really enjoy this film. His flamboyant personality and his ability to insult everyone within a 1000 mile radius at the same time, are what... Full review
Another New Low For Dangerfield, Hollywood

Rodney Dangerfield should have stuck to stand-up comedy. He seemed more likable in that role. Have you noticed how many sleazy characters he played in movies? Too many, especially this one where he's a profane Howard Stern-type, disgusting talk show host.... Full review

I'm not a movie snob. There's many movies I found funny or interesting that most viewers would find terrible. I'm also a huge fan of 80's comedies. There's usually two types of movies that I enjoy watching. The first type... Full review
Live-action cartoon, but what's wrong with that?

Evan E. Brown - imdb.com
"Meet Wally Sparks" is a screwball comedy in the vein of an Adam Sandler vehicle or latter-day "National Lampoon" movie. Sure, it's dumb. Sure, it's cheap. Sure, there's no Palm D'Or award sitting on the director's shelf. But some movies... Full review

Rodney said, promoting his movie, when people write movies they think they're writing "Gone with the Wind." This movie is FAR from "Gone with the Wind," but if you're as much as a fan of Rodney as I am--and who... Full review

San Francisco Chronicle
Wally Sparks'' spoofs talk- show sleaze, but it's really an excuse for Dangerfield, 75, to prove he's one of the funniest men who ever breathed. Gas jokes, dog excrement jokes, horny old geezer jokes -- Dangerfield does 'em all, gets big belly laughs and makes it all seem harmless. ... Full Review

But after "Meet Wally Sparks," a tasteless and extremely unfunny comedy he co-wrote and stars in, his career probably is. But after Wally takes a drunken horse ride through the governor's mansion, he's inexplicably proclaimed a hero. ... Full Review

James Berardinelli's Reviews
, Meet Wally Sparks is too absurd to retain any sense of verisimilitude.....Meet Wally Sparks , a lame, late-January film dumped into a sluggish market, may well finish the aging comic's screen career.....Meet Wally Sparks is easily among the ten worst comedies I've seen in the past two years.....By aiming for pathos, this movie comes across as pathetic.....Generally, about the best one can hope for from a Dangerfield movie is a cliched storyline filled with crude-but-humorous gags and one-liners..... ... Full Review

Austin Chronicle
But nothing in this ugly movie prepares us for the sight of Cindy Williams....The movie is also punctuated with a riot-squad worth of cameo appearances....Meet Wally Sparks is a free-for-all collection of Dangerfield one-liners (many of them amusing), propped up by a chaotic narrative farce and maudlin pauses for emotional exchanges.....Debi Mazar's brashness provides a good foil for Dangerfield's oafish smart-aleck routine.... ...
